It gives you the ability to start in gear. which was a HUUUUUUGE upgrade for me because by the time the ECM does the engine check and allows for the starter to engage and to pull the shifter into gear, everyone ELSE with kickstarts were breakin the first corner..

now she bypasses the ECM full system analysis and start in gear feature.. hit the key, hit the button, stand on the throttle and dust the 450's (til the first tabletop!)

Id have to find the guys number.. i cant think of what his name is...older guy, with a beard, raced for kawi for a few years but is now racing can-am.. doug somethin maybe, i dont remember.. can-am rep did it for me after the bike went into the shop after they got an email from the dealership asking the corporate office if "desert racing" would cancel the warranty.. they were like "who the hell is racing one of these in the desert!?"

coulda got factory support but with knee problems and a boat addiction and my own small business, my racing life woulda been too short (but a loooooooad of fun)..

this was back before everyone figured out the cure for the 'wet belt' syndrome.. everyone else made it but it was his third pass and was just smokin the belt..

we fixed the wet belt syndrome.. no gettin through our trails here without it.. snorkels, eh, not so much.. not a big fan... id rather be in the dust than the water anyday of the week!

oops, that first picture is the bilstein/Virgin Records canam that was used in the baja (500) that didnt finish.. the 3 they sent down there when they were running the outlanders didnt finish either..id rather run the whole 500 by myself than split with two other riders..

What were they breaking?

they were so new at the time that each of them had their own independent issues.. i konw the battery box breaking loose was a problem on all three but i think i heard most of it was electrical issues.. who knows..

mines for sale if anyone is interested

I cristened the Renegade on the 32's this weekend. It did amazingly well. Nothing like seeing a 4 wheeler drifting at 40mph on rice and canes. It was UFB in the mud. I could not get any pictures....we were so covered in mud....no one would risk trashing their camera. I can honestly say....that is the fartherest I have ever gone on an atv and not gotten stuck. I don't even think I have ever winched through what I was able to ride through. I am going to get some video and pics on the next trip......we are gonna take a "clean" video man!

just throw a bowtie emblem on there and that homo wobble with love it..... whenever i see wobbles name i think chevy, its enough to make me ill.......

Stecz, you need to get out more, you are becoming bitter in your old age.

Mark, I had no issues with the belt slipping. I did use low range in the deep holes before I ever got in them. Mine is an 08.....supposedly it is sealed better and the differential locks up quicker...although with the 32's thats not the case. I had to apply more throttle to get both front wheels locked up than I was really comfortable with trying to get out of the end of a couple holes with one wheel in the air. I had that "I think something really bad is about to happen" feeling a couple of times.
