I wouldn't say that I baby my bike, but I don't beat the ever-lovin-shit out of it either. I know when to call it quits. Its still new to me, so I am still learning its limitations.
The warranty is awesome! You do go through SuperATV. If you break one, take a picture, e-mail it to them and they will send you a new axle.

[silverz98]

thanks man. that makes me feel better. i dont beat my to death but i do ride it like i stole it most of the time i guess my days wopping up on 660 raptors are over on the drag stip lol with this kit lol

Rode mine this weekend through some really nasty stuff. Deep cypress swamps, thick wet concreate type mud, pine forests, ect with no problems. I dont ride as hard as some of y'all though. The areas around here rarely offer enopugh room for a WOT riding style, but I gave it hell as much as possable. So far no problems, and I love the adittional GC.

Now if I can just get my clutching and belt issues worked out I will be set.

Quad Shop Customs MudPro kit. It's AWESOME!

[silverz98]

SGT and hampster i know both u got bigger tires with the true 2in lift does it feel any more tipy on hills or when turning?

and hamspter u got your clutch kit installed yet? how u like it? i got mine in a box wating for when i get big tires so havent intalled it yet. what gram weights did he send u? was it green yellow primary spring what color secondary? jsut wodering if we got about same set up

[hampster_rancher]

Mine doesnt feel tippy, but then I'm running Swamp Lox which have zero offset, so the bike is 2 - 3 inches wider per side.

QSC MudPro 35 gram weights, greem/yellow and yellow secondary. Awesome set up!

[silverz98]

that same as my kit but my secdary is like lime green

I have bent a trailing arm pulling wood from the woods, I was on a hill with soft dirt, sand mix and got a little to much wheel hop and the laws dug in, and something had to give, the rhino axles had no problems. I love them almost as much as the lift.

[SGTCap]

silverz98- I did noticve a change in the handling with the lift. I'm sure its no different with the Gen 1 vs 2 and is probably more pronounced with tires in the 30" range. By adding the lift you change the camber in the front. The top of the tire (at least on mine) is out farther than the bottom, which is the opposite of what you want for high speed cornering. I wasnt comfortable taking dirt road curves and corners at speed as I was pre-lift. I dont see any way to correct this without adjustable upper control arms which aren't available (to my knowledge). Even if they were I wouldnt spent money on them. This is a case where you need to define the role of your quad IMO. Mine is a mud machine primarily. The trails I ride are just long mud holes intespersed with swamps and high water. I rather have the additional ground clearence than the ability to slide around a corner at 45mph, but thats going to be an choice each rider has to face.

After having this kit for one good weekend of riding I would not give it back. The Outlander should have come with this much GC from the factory. I love it.

just to add I got the kit and ordered the gorilla axles I had trouble at first with th axle on the left poping out. I put the oem c clip on it insted of the one that came from gorrilla. It seemed to work good, I did hit a hole with a big root in it and when i stabbed the throttle i poped out again. I wasent in water so I poped it back in and haddn't had a problem since. Oh by the way I drive this thing HARD, my wifes freinds from work on there arctic cat 650 h1 will not even ride with me b/c they say I ride to hard. I prefer "Ride it like your a billionaire" b/c they ant worried about the cops or breaking stuff. ride it till it breaks then through that piece of trash in the gutta and go by another.
