Sandrail wheelies into a Banshee on comp
VegasPredator replied to dunefreak's topic in Dumont Happenings
I am glad someone said this finally. QUESTION: How many of you would be PI$$ED if you knew someone was driving across across comp with their eyes closed and hit someone and almost killed them? ANSWER: Everyone one. Doing wheelies on any dune with other riders around is 100% retarded and should be treated as such. Of course the driver feels bad, I am sure he did not go out there looking to hurt somone that day. But anytime you close your eyes and drive as fast as possible you are going to do exactly that. With that said I hope Charlie makes a full recoverey. Best wishes to him, his family and friends. -
Looking to buy a quad, need suggestions
VegasPredator replied to Handy's topic in ATV / Motorcycle Talk
<--- 6'4" 215lbs Predator all the way. If you are looking for the best all around quad for Dirt, Dunes and Trails.. Then you buy a predator. I have ridden the yfz450 in the dirt and with my weight and height it was a rough terrible ride. You have to raise the neck and bars to make it rideable unless you like to be hunched over. The stock honda 450r is about the same as the YFZ except it sits higher. (I have heard great things about the Zuki though). The pred is the best all around quad out there. I can keep up with any of the 450s anywhere they goes and pass them on the rough stuff because the pred has the better suspension. Everyone on here compares quads by how fast they will go in a striaght line up a hill. Unless that is all you are doing, you should buy something that will do it all. The funny part about the comparison of comp hill is, when you watch people race you will see every brand beat every other brand, they are all about the same speed when you are looking at 450cc - 500cc motors. -
WOW.. I heard the 6V setup is awsome because the size of the blades inside are larger then 12V but did not know it was that good. I will look in to the 6V setup and see what it costs. Right now I am buying a new house and in vegas that is not cheap. Conserving money for the riding instead of the upgrades

Will do when I need to change out batteries. At this point the trailer is only like 3 months old.
-
That is exactly what I was looking for.. That is what I thought it should be wired like but mine is not like that.
-
I will be there...

HMMM... WingNut had the same problem I did. I wonder if it is the panel not the battery levels? The levels never seemed low when starting the gen but a few times it went down to poor on the gauge.
-
I just added a second battery to my Toy Hauler this weekend. It seems as though my gauge always read fair condition on the batteries. I started thinking about the way it is wired and now think it is not wired correctly. I bought 2 new battery cables and connected the negative from the new battery to the negative on the existing battery and the same with the positive to positive. I left the trailer wires connected to the existing battery. I know this is correct for parallel, but I think what I need to do is disconnect one fo the leads from the trailer that goes to the first battery and put it on the new battery, thus forcing all current through both batteries instead of one battery trying to charge the other. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Barefoot.... If you could buy a long travel for 20k less then yours new and it was as fast or at least really close to as fast and had a better suspension and was just as reliable too, would you think it was BAD? -
Polaris Predator/Apple Valley sh*t talk
VegasPredator replied to Bound4Dirt's topic in ATV / Motorcycle Talk
Ok.. I need some help here. Please if anyone can explain this in a rational way I would greatly appreciate it. How is a 500cc Quad that stock comes with Fox Shox, A White Brothers Pipe and Maxxis Razr 2 tires for $1.5k out the door less then a Yamaha Raptor 700 (that has 40% more motor and none of the before mentioned upgrades) be a bad quad? Now lets also mention that on any day will keep up with that 700 while riding through the dunes and will beat it in rough terrain. Again, how is that a "Bad Quad"? My thoughts: The only chance that 700 has, is to go in a straight line as fast as it can to beat it.. Which again will not decisively beat it but you would expect it to beat it with 40% more motor. If I were to build my "Girls Quad" up to even 600cc (still smaller then the "Mans Quad") not only would that Raptor have a hard time keeping up it might actually look like it was moving in reverse. :assrock: -

That guy is Grant and his quad has 100's upon 100's of hours with zero problems. Well engine problems that is. He rides with my neighbor, who lets just say... he is as sharp as a marble when it comes to riding... He on many occasions has ran into Grant on his Honduh and broke off many of grants body parts. But the pred starts every time. -
Polaris Predator/Apple Valley sh*t talk
VegasPredator replied to Bound4Dirt's topic in ATV / Motorcycle Talk
HMMM.. I ate up a 660 at dumont OVER AND OVER on the first weekend of November. Nothing special about mine besides the jet and slip on. He had at least a slip on. OH Yeah and he was like 160 lbs and I am 6'3" 215lbs. Still walked all over him. The only quad giving me troubles in those races was a yfz450 that had a full yoshimura exhaust and a kid about 150lbs on it. He would get about 4 lengths ahead and stay there. But I would expect that from a quad that from a yfz.
