Mark, I go in first to see if there is a bottom with the 32's.....if not, we bring in the big gun and float across.....
I set this bike up for Eric with 10x12 one off OMF billet beadlocks and put 27x12x12 Bighorns on it. The other 800 with the polished beadlocks is my wife's. The OMF's are the only set of 10" wide that they have ever made. They thought I was nutz when I ordered them. Believe it or not, It does great. All I did was adjust the precision stabilizer differently. |

Actually, you might recognize Crutchfield from your roundtrack stuff. That is what they do for a living. They started riding atv's.....thought they rode like chit and made a set of shocks from some stuff they had laying around. Everybody that rode his can am loved it....so he started making them. Now they are selling more of them than the race car stuff. He told me two weeks ago that he has sold over 1100 sets! We are all running them. At $1,195 for 4...they are alot cheaper than Elka's and work better for what we do...(I had Elka's on Debs 750 Brute Force). Here is a link.
http://aurorawheelers.com/Crutchfield/ Another upgrade I did was add precision steering stabilizers to both bikes. They are expensive at $475 but worth every penny if you ride fast from time to time. I am running a stock clutch right now. The renegade has a different sheave from an outlander. It allows the belt to ride higher for more top end. The renegade will hit 80mph with 26's on it. I have been running 27" big horns on bead locks and it has and endless supply of power with that set up. The right thumb is like a full time nitrous valve. This weekend will be the first time out on the 32's so I will see what breaks for sure. I am going to change the springs on the clutch and see what works best. Any reccomedations on clutch set up? Brand...etc? The stock BRP shocks suck and all the outlanders sag. The renegade was the roughest riding atv I have ever been on stock. It was valved to jump tabletop's evidently. The crutchfields make it not even seem like the same bike. It is now what I though I was getting when I bought it. Maybe the stockers would have worked great if you rode motocross tracks with it. I have to have a soft ride with my back. Send me a PM if you want Ed Crutchfields number. We have permanent campsites beside each other at Coal Creek. I did not know who he was at first....I saw he had cool shocks on his atv's......I started talking to him and he was telling me about his setup.....I said "how do your shocks compare to Crutchfield Racing Shocks" He looked at me funny and said "I am Crutchfield Racing"! .......and here's your sign. I admitted the dumbass move....but he got over it when Eric and I bought four complete stage 2 sets on our first order. We still laugh about that. l8tr! Funny enough one of our crew ordered a set of his coil overs last week. Changed up the spring to +2" for more preload. I am impressed with the way they worked out on the Outlander. I expect there will be a few more orders shortly. |

Decided to quit when a kid one third my age nearly took my head off in a maybe double. The Can-am has the power for sure, but the stock suspension is lacking IMO |

you severly understated that.. i hit a set of woops in the desert in the lead.. broke the first whoop at about 65mph. by the time i hit the 8th or 10th whoop i was sideways with one foot on the ground keepin the bike up and still moving fwd! the resulting pile of 450's behind me that couldnt see through my dust cloud nearly killed me! they can skate across the tops of them like nothin, CAN AM CAN NOT... i finally got the hang of drifting it in the sand and hard pack.. my absolute biggest complaint and the reason i wont be racing it in the Parker 425 or BAJA this comign year is the autotrans is WAY to tough on your forearms when you let off the throttle.. the engine breaking sucked every bit of energy out of me pushing against the bars to keep my chest off the speedo.. by the end of the race i couldnt use my arms.. Four wins in one race: 1st amateur to race as pro Ironman 1st utility to finish the entire course in the desert class 1st amateur to win against pros 1st utility to close a podium finish.. i was ppretty happy with myself! |
