Here are some pics from todays morning ride with the wife and sone. Still breaking in the Maverick so trying to take it easy on her…Here are a few pics but the 2 links below will take you to my albums….
Hey, there is nothing in the manual about taking it easy on the suspension! I actual am not getting on the motor at all…I have 7 hours on it and only hit 55 MPH twice fgor a few seconds each time. Mostly short 1/2 to 3/4 throttle bursts or some slow 1/4 to 1/2 throttle climbs. I do have an extended warranty though :crazy:
Haha…I was wondering if someone was going to notice that……well, I am waiting on my harness bar to arrive next week but I still wanted to go ride. So what you see in the pics is a piece of 2" PVC pipe that is strapped to the cage with 550 cord….It will do absoloutely nothing in a wreck, but I didn't want to only use the lap and crotch belts and have the shoulder harnesses flopping all over the place so I rigged this up for a one day only deal to get a ride in. :haha:
Yea, that is the landing from a 100' climb and tabletop style landing…..I am uploading the video for this track at the local ORV park…once it's uploaded, I will put the link on here….its a fun track on a SxS!
I'm still breaking in the engine…..I only have 7.5 hours on it. It is sooo hard to not romp on it yet but I want to break it in right. I took it easy the first hour or so to break the belt in and now I am riding it harder but no full throttle runs and no long runs without varying the throttle and RPM's. Hopefully, my tie rods and gussets that I ordered from CT Racing show up soon, I would hate to break a tie rod or rip out an A arm before I get them swapped out.
Most everyone said to drive it like you stole it when I previously asked about break in period. To vary the throttle and not let rings get set at a particular RPM. So I have been beating the heck out of it from nearly day 1. Seems strong as heck, but maybe I screwed up. Time will tell.
How did you mount your camera? I am trying to figure out where and how to mount mine. Can't keep it clean unless I aim it backwards and look out the back...grumble.
if you look close at a couple of the pics in the first post you will see where I mounted it. Yes, it does get very dusty if you are following anyone......I used the quick release mount but it wobbles a bit and you can see it in the video. I am going to get a billet mount and mount it between the seats on the harness bar. That is pretty close to centerline of the vehicle so it should be just about right.
