Accessories and......dead weight?

If you ordered the bag from ogio ( the one in the pic i posted ) you will be pleasently surprised at how much you can tote around in it, as far as fuel well most of out trips are 8-10 hour with alot of mud for good measure, and ive only come close to running out of fuel once, my xmr ran with the light blinking for 3 hours , but dont take my word for it, better to kind of figure it out depending on your own riding habbits. After about 16-20 hours you will find the fuel economy will get better, i think i only got 75 km out of my first tank, but then again i was hill climbing and playing in skeg. Enjoy the ride bud, its a beast of a machine

Beast is a understatement, had it out in some snow/mud the week i bought it, UNREAL. Passed by the Honda foremans that were stuck in the snow in 4 and rocking the machine back and forth, when i was still in 2 wheel drive. LOL. But ya the first ride, maybe i was a bit of a heavy thumb, but i'm not usually. Granted i got about 80 clicks on it now and it was down at about 1/4 tank. Not sure how generous/accurate the fuel gauge was, but i didn't want to be the one to put it to the test. In the case of fuel, too much is better then not enough.

Reading more into the rotopax, trying to figure out what I can do with it, or just grab a little 10 litre and throw it in that bag. But i need to get skids looked after ASAP then fuel storage. and I think im set. I dont aniticipate doing anything aftermarket to the drivetrain, Not exactly lacking power. Maybe some stickers, but honestly the thing comes off the floor ready to roll as far as I am concerned.

I know this is off topic, but you've been more then helpful Storm. It's great talking to someone whos had one for a year so I can get the little details. I havent changed a belt on this yet (obviously) wondering if you have yet. Going to look at carrying a spare belt with me, if not on the quad, in my truck so im not completely SOL should something happen. Never changed a belt on a quad before so more or less this is "belt changing for dummies". Tool kit to have and whatnot, hoping to educate myself a bit on the scenario incase it comes to that. Thanks again.

No i havent burnt my belt up yet, knock on wood, i have had it smoke up a few more times then i like however. I ordered a dalton mudrunner clutch kit of it to help with this so it will grab the belt better, the 30 inch gorillas are a big heavy tire, and when you get into the thick stuff it takes some jam to turn those big fellas.
