skinny tires for trail riding/racing

what do you think about running skinny tires in front and rear, same size all around. usage will be agressive trail riding and maybe a couple of gncc ”style” races in which I would like to be competitive.

seen a couple of guys this winter in snow/ice races in the rubber class running 23x7x12 tires on their renegades with good results, they said they will run these sizes this summer on dirt

I was more thinking about running in the 25-27” size but 6-7” wide, like large MX tires on custom beadlock wheels.

or what do you guys with scramblers run for tires in races?

Price question and dealer scams?

I just got back from a local place called state 8 motorcycle here in Ohio. I went there as they had a few different brands and sat on a few just to make sure the grizzly is the one I wanted "It is!"

So the other week I seen a advertisement to another place in Ohio called Champion Power Sport and called and the guy said he can sell me a 2015 Grizzly 700/EPS for $7,683 + $93 fee and my tax,which should be a grand total OTD price of $8,318.32.

So I showed him the ad and my total and said if they could match that price I would rather buy it from you "state 8" as you are only a 30 min drive and the other place is over 2hrs one way.

So the guy jotted down some numbers and said ok,im going to go talk with the boss and see what we can do. So ten minutes later he comes back out and said he was told No Way,there is No way this place with give me a 2015 grizz 700/eps for that price and assured me that it is some scam either a bait and switch,or selling on the border of states and scam on taxes somehow and stick me with some hidden fees later and gave me some other scenario which I forget,in other words he said that other dealership is full of BS.

The best he can do is about $8,800 for a 700/eps plus fees plus tax which ran into the mid to high 9k’s. Or said they had a brand new 2012 700 SE that they can get close to the price I was quoted.

Now I talked to the guy at the dealership one time and asked him point blank is this the actual price,and he said it is. Now could it change when I get there, I guess anything is possible.

But im going to call again tomorrow and see what he says,one more time,then I’ll take the ride to do some paperwork.

I looked in the other forum where people have discussed price and seen them all over,but seen a few people payed pretty much what I was quoted,so it looks to be possible. I also seen people pay well into the $9k’s.

So when I call this guy ,Is anyone aware of any scams or anything that could bite me in the ass after I sign the papers?
This guy assured me that its going to be used,older model,lol,anything but a good deal. What do you guys think?

newbie

Hello, I am working on a 400 big bear 2wd 99-01 I think, being new to the 4 wheeler scene, I thought I would try to get some advice from some more experienced folks like you. The problem I am having is an oil leak in the cylinder/head area. It only leaks when being driven, not idling or when revving in neutral. I have replaced the head and cylinder gaskets and it still leaks. The oil seems to be being thrown onto the upper frame and onto the front chase area. Any thoughts???

DCT and Oil Question

When test riding the new 2015 Rubicon with DCT I noticed there is no "Park" setting. When in DCT, do I have to put it in Neutral or can I leave it in Drive when shutting down?

When starting up….and in ESP mode….can I shut down and start up in 1st gear? I’m assuming that the ESP won’t let you start up anything other than 1st?

What grade oil is recommended for year around use?

400ex leak down test help!!

So I did a leak down test on my 400ex that has 30- 40 hrs on rebuild as it’s smoking badly and I have air blowing through carb and also through bottom end where timing inspection cap is .could it be 2 issues intake valve and rings ?? And how likely is it for both to go at same time with the hrs on rebuild. Also did a comp test and I’m getting 175-180 which I would think rings are good .any input would be appreciated
