. BTW, I'm running mine with stock clutch while my buddy continues using significantly heavier clutch weights which reduce normal operating RPMs by prox 1k plus reduce engine temps in nearly all conditions (he averages consistently prox 10% higher mpg than mine, yet both both nearly 20 mpg). His objectives with those clutch weights were to achieve noticeable dBA reduction (Rotax 1000cc with CVT designed to optimize power as quickly as possible and hold at those rpms, despite associated noise levels). Point of this is that he essentially "geared down" numerically in combo with larger than 30" OEM spec tires. Therefore, no need to "gear up" numerically with clutch mods to accommodate 32" tires on MavS X-variant machines...
Any idea what weight flyweights & flyweight weight, he used? I'd be interested in doing the same. I think Commander flyweights are probably heavier than XC-RC-MR weights but pretty expensive guess after ordered if wrong!

I'll defer to @Yattr on specifics. He sent me website links 1.5+ yrs ago but unsure if supplier P/Ns remain the same on his MavS Xrc now as back then. In any case, he likes the setup with no plans to revert to OEM clutch weights...

Yeah she get's a lot of attention in this....lol
That's quite the paint & graphics combo! (y)

Can-Am calls colors on the 2020 MavS Xrc "Orange Crush" (supposing the Denver Broncos couldn't object) but my buddy calls it KTM Orange having owned many of those dirt motos. We like that our machines stand out with conspicuity against natural forested background, thus much less likely to become within a seasonal hunter's target crosshairs...

Thanks! Her favorite colors are pink and purple. This is the colors she came up with to incorporate them with the manta green to make it her's. It's a one of a kind for sure. The dealership where she bought it has tried to buy it back several times...lol The women on the trails give her a thumbs up all the time....lol

DirtDawg, what was the deciding point between Rockzillas and Rampages? I was thinking for your drier climate the Rockzillas might be preferable, especially as many miles as you put on...

I'm thinking of swapping out the Libertys as they kind of let me down at Disney on the weekend. Just wouldn't hook up on the wet rock at all, even at 7 psi. 32"s of course will help too...

I don’t think you would be disappointed in roxxzillas at all for Disney. I wish I would have went that route last time.

Our objectives in 32x10R14 tires were;
1) Better directional control driving on loose terrain (steering "washout") than with OEM equipment 30x10R14 Maxxis Liberty, which were removed fairly soon after new and sold as 2 sets of 5 on CL.
2) Less open space ("voids") between lugs to reduce frequency of punctures in local sharp granite terrain than our current Maxxis Carnivore.
3) As good or better wear and useful life (considering cost for size) than Carnivore, thus we chose Maxxis Rampage based on Maxxis' description and online reviews with perhaps higher durometer number.
4) We considered Maxxis Roxxzilla but decided those might work well but not wear as well per objective #3.

Also noting, our replacement sets of Rampage remain unmounted while we "finish off" last useful life of the Carnivores. Pretty much there with lots of slipping and sliding on the trail. We'll get those on before starting our 2023 season in easternmost AZ's White Mountains in May. Won't know if our choice was the best for us until then.
