I heard the ground clearance is something like 5 inches.. is this true? If so, is it good or bad?

 

its 9 or 10 under the motor and 4.9 under the rear skid plate for the axle.

 

is that good?

 

compared to a sport quad, err average, compared to a utility (like 10-13 in) no comparison

 

if u have a blaster u should get a aftermarket skid plate just to protect the rotor and sprocket.... i put a hole threw my stock one.... but i landed on a pipe sticking out of hte ground... anywhay there ground clearance isnt bad... just dont try drivin over big **** and look where your goin adn u wont have a problem at all [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

 

get a skid plate for the motor, you dont want the case gettin split.

It's fine, don't be worried. I had one in my younger days, and I rode it everywhere, i mean everywhere. rocky roads, woods, big sticks logs,..nothin was every really a problem. It's not like you're going to damage anything but riding in the woods casually. Hell, i even ran with the skid plate off for the longest time and nothing ever changed except a lil more grit got in my brake pads.
