Nice to see the old quads again Kman. Might actually get some mountain pics and video tomorrow.
Hey DesertDog, if I get them dirty tomorrow I will clean them back up so you won't be able to tell |

I can't wait to see your mountain vids Colorado.Don't forget that camera.
I have to say I really miss the v4s. I do enjoy riding the bird every day.

Kman the pics and vids will be on the way as soon as I find the time to load them on the computer and upload them. We went all day today in the mountains and had a blast.
The place that we went was a huge riding trail system area behind Central City Colorado. Got to say that out of four MIC quads not one gave a bit of problem. We rode them hard for four to five hours. Nice pic warrior91. |

Kman, I changed my front sprocket on the V4S to a 14 tooth. All I can say is wow! what a strong ATV. That thing ran awsome in the mountains at about 9500 feet in altitude. My brother-inlaws V4S ran great also with his stock 15 tooth front srocket. I could sure tell a difference between bikes though with the gearing.
Here is a pic out in the wild, more to come later. |

Good to hear Colorado.Do you get a noticable differece on your low end compared to you bother-in-laws v4s?From my trips out the stock did fine in my area ,but we have no mountains.

There was a big gain on low end compared to my brother-inlaws V4S. He took mine for a ride and noticed a big difference also. I also noticed that fourth gear was actually usable now on some of open flater trails. I havn't noticed any top end loss because I've never wanted to go that fast with the short wheelbase of ATVs. I guess some are more brave than others. One thing though the gear change gives it some real get up and go from a stop. For the mountains the 14 tooth front and 46 tooth rear are perfect. The 15 tooth front feels good also, but the 14 tooth really brings the smiles out.

Have you put wheel extensions on the rear yet?They will make a big difference in stability.

Ya know Kman I havn't, I would like to. I have be toying with the idea of the more expensive solid spacers and the inexpensive stud extensions.
I like the idea of the solid ones for the bigger adult ridden ATVs but of course the price is about $100 - $120 for a pair. For two ATVs thats an ouch to the pocket book! The stud extensions are a nice price but I worry that the contact area of the stud to wheel could eventually bend the wheel with the rough rocky trails I will be riding on. Maybe I'm over analyzing :roll: |

Those are valid concerns.I had no problems.I read a few testimonials on their website befor I felt comfortable in getting them.I havn't seen yet on any of the sites that the stud type failed,but ya never know.
