I have had it almost 3 weeks and finally got to take it out today. It wore me out. My hands are sore, my shoulders are sore and my back is sore. Maybe it is because I usually ride my Raptor in the sand and not trails very much, but this thing is scary fast. My biggest complaint is the very touchy, sensitive throttle. Surely, there must be a way to change the pressure needed to give it throttle. I took a 13T sprocket with me and decided pretty quick that the 14T needed to go. Put the front wheels in the bed of the truck and the rear about half way down the ramp so I could get under it. Didn't go as planned. Forgot to take a socket to fit the chain adjuster. Ended up putting it back together and rode it with the stock gearing. In the rough stuff, had to ride the clutch to much at low speed. Even small rocks and things had me bumping the throttle when I didn't want throttle. The way I feel right now is that if I had of been able to ride it like I did today, before I bought it, I probably would not have bought it. But I really like the power. Didn't like it in the tight trails because of the throttle. Maybe gearing it lower will help me change my mind. It will be interesting to see how much the sand tames it down.
