Hey guys,

I have been researching a lot about lifts, tires, axles, etc on here, but wanted to run this by you guys……

Still on the fence about how mild or wild i may want to go with my 850 touring. I love the machine, my wife and I go out riding often, and I have been slowly working on things here and there. Basically, I either go with my wife and we are double up – more so out cruising and running anywhere from 20-50%. Or I go out with the guys and we are rippin it up, muddin, etc and running anywhere from 50-80% with shorts bouts of 100% if that makes sense.

So, with a little background, I wanted some insight into potentially carrying out this build. Let me know how you think this will hold up. I want it to be extremely reliable, not leave us stranded, but still be able to handle those days where I want to push it a little more! Anyone out there riding this setup or something similar? Am I missing anything?

I’m not as young and heavy on the throttle as I once was, and I like to think that this build would be a pretty dependable build for me.

A big thing I question is maybe getting something with a little more give than OL2s…. maybe mega mayhems or something.

Look forward to the always good feedback guys!

I would probably like to stick somewhat close to this budget. I thought I could do it for cheaper, but this seems like what I need to get it done right.

So I’m trying to make sure my 570 can go in water up to the headlights MAXIMUM noting more then that. I play in the mud and trial ride but I noticed one of the cvt inlets was about halfway up on the left side of the bike. So to achieve my goal all I have to do is snorkel that one inlet up under the handle bars?

Hey guys, I’m fairly new here though I’ve been lurking for a while. I did post in the "new members intro" section, and thanks for the replies and welcomes.

So, long story short, I’m rebuilding a 300FW that was recently acquired and while my cylinder is being honed for a .020 piston, I’ve been replacing bearing and cleaning up the chassis. One thing that I have been debating is going ahead and replacing the a-arm bushings with delrin or similar bushings and sleeves.

My bro-in-law, who has been rebuilding these bikes for a while, mentioned that he’s not had to replace the stock bushings on these bikes because he’s never had one go bad. I, on the other hand, have always seen a great improvement in using delrin control arm bushings in steering response and removing the sloppiness in steering/handling, but that experience has always been with cars that I used to use for track duty and "spirited" driving.

Have any of you replaced the stock a-arm bushings, with say the Race-Driven or other brand bushings, and noticed a difference in the feel of your quad? Is it worth the $100 or so and time and effort to do the job while it’s taken apart?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
