make sure you treat your new studs very carefully. they will get dull very quick if you ride or turn on a road, garage floor, drive way. go w/ 18" tires if you can afford it. they make special ice tires that hold the studs better. have fun, mine didn't last very long...

I know not to ride on the road or any hard surfaces with the studs. They are previously used, but only once for about 2 minutes before the stator blew on my ride. Thanks for the help guys!!

hey nick, i thought i had fixed the cable, i put the carb back together, and kicked it a few times, and it started up no problem, but.....i didnt fix it. it roared maxxed out in the R's. i was freakin out, and the whole time it was doing the biggest burn-out, not to mention i have the studs in it. i put it in 5th and still it was maxxed out doing a burnout. and the garage floor is lookin pretty cute. lol, so i didnt really know what to do. so i just turned the gas off, i dont know if i blew the engine, or the gas shutoff. lol, it still has compression, so i doubt that i blew it. but its still funny that there is a huge burnout mark in my garage, and my studs are just a little melted down. lol

if you have a widder axle already in the back get the durablue lowering struts for the front and put warrior shocks on it.your front end will be approximately 48 inches wide.you could also put a larger front tire on the right front side if all you do is turn left like me.this helps the quad do most of the handling for you,you dont have to lean as much.
do not get the front end wider than the rear end though,the quad will push in the opposite way that you turn.add a swaybar if you can,it does wonders.
