[QUOTE="Auburn, post: 1364791, member: 5661"] Had a 2001 with a 5 gallon baja tank, white power exhaust, and 3 tooth bigger rear sprocket, cut down aftermarket handlebars by 2 inches, added bark busters and full on knobbies. The lower gearing helped overcome the weight on the trail by making the front tire easy to loft over obstacles. Loved the ability to keep the RPM low and climb anything. I have ridden it on high country trails where the handle bar rubbed the hillside, while navigating a trail that was only 6 inches wide. Very dependable and stable platform. Did I say it was heavy?? (Something like 325 lbs / 147 kg) [/QUOTE]
