Title: Re: Id@ crossed to the dark side ;-) Post by: Ida_Mann on February 18, 2006, 02:30:53 PM I had to get one after I rode Mr. Dreth's Rubicon over some whoops and on a trail ride not long ago.

I just have no idea what to put on there and am thinking just matching up what's on the front with the rear,,,,also, I was doing some reading up and found that this thing has 27" tires on it when stock they are supposed to be 25",,,,anybody know if that's a problem or if I should go back down to the 25"? I know, I know,,,,take it to the "Tech Corner" ;-) One of those Moderators might move this post soon cause of that ;-) Id@ Title: Re: Id@ crossed to the dark side ;-) Post by: T2 on February 18, 2006, 07:11:37 PM I had to get one after I rode Mr. Dreth's Rubicon over some whoops and on a trail ride not long ago. now I got a quad for a friend to go ride with me,,,if I let em ;-) Id@ Ida can I be your friend and go riding with you!!!!!!!! :-* Oh wait never mind thats a Honda I changed my mind.

Id@ You'll be good to go. The Foreman/Rubicon is geared low already Title: Re: Id@ crossed to the dark side ;-) Post by: Honda328i on February 18, 2006, 10:10:36 PM Kool, good choice of bikes. What year is that Ida?
And what does it mean if you start on the dark side and then switch?? When are you taking it out? Title: Re: Id@ crossed to the dark side ;-) Post by: Bigscrb15 on February 18, 2006, 10:14:45 PM its not the dark side, its the right side! nice lookin quad Id@ now you can hit the extreme mud trails at durhamtown, thats an awesome time!

And what does it mean if you start on the dark side and then switch?? When are you taking it out? dunno what it's called, but I don't plan on getting rid of my sport any time soon for sure. when am I taking it out? dunno just yet, there is one small electrical issue to work out and I'll be delivering it to ATP probably Monday, so who knows,,,,MAYBE next weekend.

Id@ Title: Re: Id@ crossed to the dark side ;-) Post by: Moose on February 19, 2006, 08:01:49 AM Ida you'll be fine with the 27" tires, I run 26" and can't tell the difference most of the time. Like said, all foreman's are geared very low, that's one reason they are the most sought after quad fur mudding.
OK I just put a target on my shirt, fire away. :R The major change larger tires make , is the acceleration rate from a standstill. But a Foreman's first gear is so low, I never use it when riding normal. You can out walk it. I would just ride it like it is and get somewhat used to it, then change it like you want. The only thing I would look at right away is the Perfex suspension upgrade. The best $90 I ever spent on mine. Makes the ride so MUCH better, steers lighter also. Title: Re: Id@ crossed to the dark side ;-) Post by: Ida_Mann on February 19, 2006, 09:08:25 AM LIGHTER steer? fer crying out loud, I took it out on the (OH NO CALL THE COPS) road around my neighborhood and the steering felt just as light as my 400EX and felt like I had to fight to keep the wheels straight once it passed a certain point in the steering,,,,like it wanted to turn more without me trying.
and I think I'll leave the suspension alone for now, the little bit that I rode Dreth's Rubi sold me on getting one cause I was so comfortable on it even over the dreaded whoops. Id@ Title: Re: Id@ crossed to the dark side ;-) Post by: qt314nfla on February 19, 2006, 03:48:43 PM Nathan, congrats again. After your call I was looking forward to coming home and seeing the pics. This was the first thread I opened when I got home. I'll look forward to having ya out w/ us.
As for the tires. All smart ute riders go w/ a larger size tire and a mud tire of some sorts. The verdict is still out on which is the best. There is a list of which are the worst as far as kicking up rocks. Most ppl go w/ 589's or mudlights. Only real difference I've heard between them is weight but it's not much. Free 589's go get them! My quad came w/ 23x8x12 front, and 34x10x12 rear. I run 26x12x12 for now. Haven't had to do anything to the engine to run them. Good luck getting her ready. Title: Re: Id@ crossed to the dark side ;-) Post by: Truegrit on February 19, 2006, 10:10:35 PM Its not the darkside, you have seen the light!
LIGHTER steer? fer crying out loud, I took it out on the (OH NO CALL THE COPS) road ,,,,like it wanted to turn more without me trying. Thats because its full time 4wd. Look into getting the Warn 424. Which will allow you to dissengage/engage the front diff, allowing it to steer better/easier on the trails. Then you can engage the 4wd when you hit the serious stuff. It is the best mod you can put on a full time 4wd bike. Title: Re: Id@ crossed to the dark side ;-) Post by: Ida_Mann on February 20, 2006, 07:48:01 AM absolutely I will be getting that in fact that was one of the first things I looked into purchasing, I'm getting prices from a couple different sources at the moment.
