sand chick Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 New tires made a HUGE difference!!!!!!! First time out on the new tire set up... I think I'll take it easy... but NOOOOOOO... I had to jump in behind Vegas Style at the tail end of a Dunefreak, Ynot, OGP, Mike and Randog's group.. Crusty, Donnkey, etc. And I kept right up with them!!!! :angry2: Soooo much easier to turn and manuver through the dunes with the tire set up. I had forgetten that Mike did the rejet on the carb as well, so when I first started going up and over Banshee I gunned it and rode a nice not expected wheelie for a little ways! scared me, but I kept on going! Now to get used to using that rear end slide! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jr1208 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 hello jodi,i have the same quad and just by looking at the tire set up i could tell you u will do great...the itp sand stars are more for dunning,they grip good,the straight paddles like skat trak are good for straight riding like going up comp or banshee hill,don't get me wrong they are super good tires but compare to the itps the skats slide a lil & for the type of riding you do you got the perfect tires.....i have all around itp sand stars in all my quads because i do more dunning than racing....that my opinion.....on my quad i have the following up grades,i have a full yoshi pipe a Riv box,k&N filter with open lid & jetted,thats good for me because i want to keep it reliable.ones you do big bore stroke and all that good stuff its less reliable,more maintenance and might have to run on vp...i could feel the difference to a stock 450r hands down.....if you want you could try it out poker run i will be out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightime Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 sand skate ones for the rear would be a BIG improvement, foam rubber grips & then a cooler rack! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
