    Rzr supercharger vs turbo

    supercharger is more complicated with a belt drive system off the stator side of the engine. there are people who make these kits, they are costly and more complicated than a turbo. a turbo exhaust manifold, bolt the turbo on, and run the exhaust back out the back, pipe in the new charge line...

    Best UTV for highway use and daily extended street driving

    a 2015+ XP1000 4 seater. they are able to run 70mph for sustained periods of time better than any of the others mentioned. the vast majority of those mentioned wont run but 55mph maxed out. (viking, pioneer, teryx) the 2014 XP1000 4 seater had a bad gear ratio trans, they burned belts much...

    New Honda Talon to launch Nov 27th 2018!

    90% of the power hungry guys have a reflash on their turbo car before the 6month warranty runs out. and a mild tune on either the X3 or TurboRZR is well into the range of double what the honda puts out. thats why i said the "power hungry" crowd. there are guys daily buying the stage 3, 4, and 5...

    New Honda Talon to launch Nov 27th 2018!

    the majority of the crowd on this forum is west coast, dunes and desert. bigger tires are king, they pull harder in the dunes and ride smoother in the rough stuff. a CVT is a lot more forgiving because of how it can be "tricked" to stay in a lower gear ratio longer to help churn the bigger...

    All UTV's UTVs are moving up!

    yes, which is what i mentioned above in my post, climbing stuff that is completely insane and impassible to get around bottlenecks. its definitely not a short cut, but it gets them in front of bottlenecks that most people have to sit and wait in. i have seen some lines during pre-running and...

    New Honda Talon to launch Nov 27th 2018!

    yamaha released the YXZ in 2015...... were you around to see the multitudes, and i mean 75+% mortality rate on the clutches out of the first year machine, nobody could get 300 miles out of a clutch. its only taken them 4 years to figure it out??? and are you sure its figured out yet? blow a...

    All UTV's UTVs are moving up!

    i think with the class 10s width, and power, and speed, they have some distinct advantages over the UTVs. i see class 10 drivers blasting thru rough stuff 10-20mph faster than most UTV drivers are willing to drive. but as stated, the 2wd systems wont ever pull hills and silt and slower technical...

    GNCC UTV Racing *Dead*/Why?Press?Impact?GOAT?Legacy?

    one caught on fire in the infield where all the spectators were, tons of folks watched as a guy barely got out. a ton of them have wrecked in the woods, hit trees with by-standers narrowly being missed. a few people have been hit. the courses are lined with people pretty much start to finish...

    Arctic Cat air intake box

    put grease around the seal lip. problem solved. this happens on lawn mowers, weed eaters, chain saws, atvs, utvs, anything thats run in dusty enviornments. i have seen this over and over. where the covers warp and let in dust past the gasket or air filter, put a liberal line of grease on the...

    Pro UTV FI Big car vs Small car???

    i have driven pretty much every one of the top racers cars, as they progressed from 2011 till now since i do clutches, and work with most all of the top teams and have to drive the machines and test them to make them perfect. i can tell you that wheel base is a big key to make the machine...

    Can-Am First UTV

    i work on ATV and UTV machines every day, i ride them, test them, use them for what they are intended, and try them out at things they are not intended for. this is personal opinion and not brand bias by any means. i do not own any current machine on the market, i do not pay a note to any brand...

    What UTV Motor Produces the most torque

    the can-am engines, most always produce the most torque of any machine on the market. in every category, 500cc and 650cc, 800cc, and 1000cc pretty much every single machine they make for each market, makes more Hp and Tq than any other competitor. the turbo hp war is pretty much the same. Hp and...

    Best Clutch Set Up for XP4 w/ 32's

    about 100% of the roller bearings in the base of the primary are over-greased. this grease will get hot and sling out onto and into the clutch which causes the belt to slip. about 90% of the clutches i see have grease inside and on them enough to cause them to slip a belt especially at first...

    Engine Recommendation

    when pre-running, a stock XP1000 4seater will run 70 fairly easily with gear and 2 adults. a 4seater XPturbo on 32s with gear and 3 grown adults will run 75-80. the power isnt a huge deal, the gearing is the most important. pulling heavy weight and high load takes the proper gear ratio. you...

    Primary clutch issues have you seen this?

    the bolts shear off when the primary is slipping on the crank. typically from a poor or improper installation. they need to get the primary off, by using a short puller and teflon tape and water once they get the primary off they need to center drill the bolt, with a real center drill not off...

    Anyone "burning" injectors racing in BITD???

    your injector duty cycle is too high. likely from a reflash and too small of injectors. when you calculate injector duty cycle, to make them live you want as low of a number as possible. when you have a big reflash, and stock injectors, your will be running the injectors at a high percentage...

    Solid Axle UTV is COMING!!

    sounded a LOT like a single cylinder ATV but with a solid axle and their tractor background i would assume a 3cylinder gas burner would be more appropriate

    Get Ready....

    i looked at the specs. 1380lbs for the RS1. so where is it at. and why is it so heavy. the arctic cat 700trail is under 1000lbs. the RS1 would be a complete rocket ship at 10-1 power to weight ratio if it was 110hp and 1100lbs. but what happened that put it at nearly 1400? i mean, a can-am...

    i have that set of clutches in my shop now to build a jig off of, and i can tell you that clutch is SHOT!!!! it may have actually finished the race but it was long gone. the buttons in the spyder checked out and left town a long time ago. the towers in the primary are chewed up incredibly bad...

    Its one of the most insane UTV's we've ever seen!

    somebody decided to build a custom rig to do what the manufacturers havent yet. looks like its wheel base and suspension should allow it to be pretty wicked.

    Get Ready....

    the sheet metal bracing and triangular braces that weld to all the tube connections. its the strengthening braces up front, the cracks start right beside the weld and run towards the center of the joints. i think the sheet metal is too thin to resist the amount of chassis flex so it shears the...

    Get Ready....

    I think the front end cracking around all the bracing is from diving into corners super hard and tweaking the front end. Flexing the frame from side loading the car into banked corners and twisting the chassis. Same with the rear arms. I've seen dozens of them start to peel open. From side...

    Get Ready....

    unfortunately i dont get to spend a ton of time on the forums. the X3 is honestly one of the best, guys who are blowing belts in 200 miles must be running 32-33 and reflashed and holding them WFO. for stock 32s and stock power they are virtually bullet proof. to test this we had one of our...

    i have had the pleasure of riding in most of whats coming out already. and know whats in the works for the next 3 years down the line and you guys may as well just learn to love or hate the belts but they are here to stay cause its cheap and it works. the money it takes to design a shifter style...

    Earning your start position for BITD.

    i was testing in parker for two days before the race, on a small section we have used many times in the past. parker has always been a heavy sand and usually offers fast racing with minimal dust. this year from the rains i suspect, my testing area was no sand, all hard packed like its been...

    sold as is question

    when they said bring it back to them, taking it back to them may have given you more leverage with them. Now that you had another shop take it apart and just show the original shop pictures and said "here is what we found" they are more than likely going to tell you to go pound sand...

    Thoughts on gaining pit support?

    in a circular race, MINT400, UTV WorldChapmionship, Parker 250 and a few others, the team sets up in a pit and stays there the whole race. Easy Peasey for you to try to pay someone to also help pit you BUT you have to remember if you and THEIR team guy are 10 seconds apart and both pull into the...

    2017 Baja 500 (Official Thread)

    The X3s are strong. Burnett had a 10 min lead on 2nd place at mile 80 and had nearly a 20min lead by mile 145. He was absolutely kicking ass but had issues that made him lose 1:20 mins in the pit trying to fix issues. By then he kept have small issues and couldn't catch back up to the pace. But...

    XPT Primary wearing out

    the clutch is, and always has been considered a wear item. its like brake pads. they are going to wear out and warranty doesnt usually cover them. in the 2016 you qualify for the "clutch update" service bulletin all you had to do was go talk to your dealer and they should have already told you...

    Yamaha Truly Unlimited UTV - Rustfish Racing 2921
