That's a 119cc Husqvarna with a 3ft bar and I have a six foot bar for the real big stuff LOL. I did 2km of trail two weeks ago and will do two more this week to be at a logging rd that will take me to some nice fishing holes. When I get that kit on theres gonna be one big volumptious sexy quad rocking down the trail and it needs room and the trails arn't pretty so something has to be.
Don`t forget to add Gorilla/turner or rhino aftermarket axles to the big sexy quad; with that lift you will need them....As well as trim your fender wells a little

Careful.....getting into race quad territory....and you know what that means.....Don`t forget to add Gorilla/turner or rhino aftermarket axles to the big sexy quad; with that lift you will need them....As well as trim your fender wells a little
Yes, understood. I am almost at the price of a Can Am just heavier, but with 17 inches of ground clearance, do I have any spare money left over for an engine mod, should put me over the top of the Can Am for the same price.
Did I start something again, my regrets, but when I was born, I came out the wrong hole, ever since then I just got used to the idea of "sh*t disturber"

Should?...you've been yippin for days that the Poo is better already.
Didn't say it wasn't already at the top, it's just going over the top.

I think I will get the red line axles, they are in Canada and an associate to turner. Just got nailed for an extra 150 dollars for border fees for my 600.00 rake lift from Catvos and they already charged me for shipping so this is extra. Any way I called Red Line and they said the Gorrilla's and Rhino's are fine for some bikes but not for the 850XP.
Redline mentioned that no one bike is the same from the factory and that I have to take a measurement from the spindle on the inside to the edge of the diff to the very outside where the seal sits when the bike is lifted and the tires are off the ground. Red-line said this measurement varies from 1/2 to 1/4 inch sometimes and that's why they custom build to the bike so that there is no gurking on the c-clips, so if you buy a prefab from rhino or gorrilla it may not be tight and eventually break from being gurked, Red-line said I would be waisting my money on Rhino or Gorrilla especially because of the power the XP has and yes that applies to Can Am because they are so powerful too. However they are 530.00 dollars for one axle, I will have to talk to the boss and get some flowers

I wouldn't say something like that. I would have to actually believe it to be on top first. What part of the world are ya in? I'd love to bring my 5 year old stock "race quad" to let ya beat up on me with the XP.I'll do it for you daveb "What goes up must come down"
You would love to do a lot of things to your advantage to get me. I will bring my 20 year old CR 500....peace:d
Stock, and I only have 1 wheel drive.

Well, I was being semi-serious as I'd like to see the XP in action....but if you're scared and figure your CR is the way to go, I understand.
If you lived close enough, it would be nice to see, what is your five year old bike.

I've never actually stated one was better than the other...just that certain methods of "proving" one was better might not be so accurate. And I've poked fun at somebody for being very narrow minded. I'm quite honest that I'd like to ride with an XP and see how it does compared to the old 800/700/600's. Arff...you have an XP?
