Hey everyone,

I have a bone stock 700XX that i want to prepare for trail riding. We dont have any sand where Im at and I will mainly be riding with utility fourwheelers 90% of the time. I have already bought a set of Pro Armor Fat Peg nerfs. What else do you guys suggest? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Gotta get a 13t sprocket for the front, or a 12t depending on how technical you're ridding gets, then some razrs all the way around, then kyless sway bar, imo...

Search for all 3 on the site, there is plenty to read....

Go for 13t front sprocket , New tyres all round and if it is rocky some skid plates. I feel you don't need a swaybar at this stage.

yeah ive seen where alot of guys were talking about changing their sprokets to be more trail friendly. Maxxis does make some good tires too, but i was wondering what anyone thought about the ITP mudlites for sport atv's. any thoughts?

 

[Goody700]

I bought a pair of ITP mudlites because they were all I could find to fit the rear. I rode them about a half mile at a medium speed on a rocky trial and got a huge gash between the lugs. The hole took two large plugs and it still leaks down fairly quickly. I would not purchase them again.

well thats good to know I have run them before but on a utility quad, I xwill probly end up going with something from Maxxis they make a good quaality tire from my experience with them. thanks for the info.

What company would you guys buy your skids from? I really dont know the difference from any of the different companies.

Honda racing skids are pretty nice. I've heard the mudlites have a thin sidewall wich makes them prone to punctures. Take a look at the kenda kutter xc. They're cheaper than the razr's and get great reviews on here.

 

[jfdanie2]

I will def. look into the kendas. Do you have any other suggestions that would make the bike a better trail machine?

 

[Red-N-BlackXX]

Get some fat bars and a new clamp

These are the ones that some of us purchase the work great.

I have the PRM skid plate and it fits really well. .190 thickness and its one piece. I believe the Honda Racing skid plate is two separate pieces.

 

[jfdanie2]

Thanks, I was looking at the pro armor skids but its a two piece, and all of the companies that I have checked out seem to be around the same price, I guess its just gona come down to personal preference

 

[Red-N-BlackXX]

The good thing about the honda stuff is they offer a-arm skids as well. pro armor doesn't. You could get the pro armor frame skid and the honda a-arm skids?

 

[jfdanie2]

Im not sure if thats possible but maybe you could, im gona keep researching and checkin some stuff out though

I have run them for just over a year now and never had any complaints.

Thanks Baxter,

I appreciate the info. I like the wat the pro armor looks, it seems to be good quality steel and i like the craftsmanship

 

[USMC0861]
