It honestly sucks there isn’t many good places nearby. Fox valley would be a decent place to learn but it isn’t very big (and it’s really close to this place) - you can check my video out for that place as well. The badlands would be a more well rounded place to learn how to ride

I have not, it’s essentially a stock bike besides the breather box and my control setup
@jefftrumble4768Ай бұрын
Oversized fan and higher pressure cap should fix your problem with overheating. If you get a vortex they can program the fan to come in sooner. If you do engine work then maybe get the bigger radiator but the stick radiator handles a lot.

@JacksonOffroad25 i put put a twist on my banchee back in 2007. Going from dirt bike to a 4 wheeler was a big adjustment for sure. I'm not sure I gave the thumb throttle enough time to really get used to it. I just remember my arm pumping up. My hand kept cramping. And my thumb was tired 😂 They don't cost much.
