im not sure how tall you are, or how old you are, so this question is kind of hard to answer. How much experience do you have with quads?

Airbox holes help sometimes, and sometimes dont. It can depend on the type of oil filter you have, and the mods done to it. If it creates turbulance, then it will actually hurt performance.

I weigh 210 And it pulls me along fine. I have been out of riding for 10 years or so. So I was just happy to get out and back into the sport. As for the airbox. It also depends on the riding conditions. If there is a lot of water I wouldnt recomend the airbox drilling.

i'm 6' and 220 pounds.


I run it really hard and it hasn't given me a bit of trouble.

Don't get a blaster tho unless you are prepared to hang on in turns and any kind of rough terrain.

Its a blast tho once you get used to it. I like the feeling of being able to throw the quad around. I'm too cheap to buy anything else.

There is a limit, it was like 220 or something. I read it on my friends before I jumped on and said "woah, I weight too much". Mostly all it affects is the suspension unless your tall too.
