I tried that white spring at New York last year and for racing, it is not the choice.  For the woods, I think it would work great for you.  It grips the belt really well, gives you more low end because it takes longer for the secondary to open up.

I believe its a Keihn Jet.  Should be able to get them at any dealer.

What spring are you using? I put in the white and I was impressed. Did you you a pro design or pro armor kill switch?

I saw one fly by at the Pittsburgh Airport the other day too.  I use a Pro Armor on all my quads.  But, remember, just because you are using the equipment that I tell you to use, that in no way will make you even close to being as fast as I am.   Yes, that just happened!!  Shake & Bake!!!!!!!!!!!

Pro armor is what I thought you said but i wasn't sure.  The only thing that will be shaken is you after your quad gets through bakin'. LOL :D

400racer....have you got a chance to change the jetting yet?

I got a guy ordering a few jets (diiferent sizes) and we are going to experiment on mine .... maybe next week. I will try the 148 first and go from there.

I want to get the white seondary spring in as well. Now I put the stiffer spring in my MXU300 and I like it on tight fast trails but don't like how it is on the open straight runs. It seems like it needs to shift to a higher gear but never does.
That is my only fear with going with the white spring on the 500....is is going to do the same...

I am getting the 148 put in tomorrow. As for the spring, I like it a lot. No matter what, the 500 will top out at 61 and the white spring will help you acceleration a bunch.

And you talk about Can-am, blah blah blah. I think I won the 2007 MID EAST HARE SCRAMBLE SERIES and I place higher than you in both GNCC's I raced. :o  You just worry about the real riders (ME) and get my stuff ready. lol :D

Last race of the year, Crawfordsville, IN.  I am going to let these two battle it out on the track and I am going to just cruise on by.  I hope this Rookie can ride, he sure does do alot of talkin', if he doesn't perform well I will be talkin' to the bossman about him walkin'.  Goodnight, hittin' the gym at 3 am.

You guys are having too much fun :)

(I can see 500racer2 carrying those logs on his shoulders through snow right now... :D)

Rookie...sounds like you'll have more Kymco blue marks on you than stripes from all the other competition....
I seen 500racer and 500racer2 share paint on the start at Yadkinsville....now 4 of you.....how many piles ups we gonna see at the holeshot line..lol

Did Kevin also tell you that YOU as a ROOKIE get to wash of all quads after each race.  Hope you have a pressure washer and a 100 gallon water tank for the back of your truck.  Sorry , but this is what ROOKIES do to earn their stripes>
What is the deal with these shocks, can't get ahold of Kevin for some reason today, I just got home from a hockey game and I have a set of new ___ shocks on my front porch.  The packing list has Jordan crossed out, Kevin crossed out, and my name wrote in.  Is this supposed to be a surprise.  If so I appreciate it.  Wasn't going to be able to get these for at least another month.  Money is tight. Who do I owe the money too.  I hope you have me on a payment plan.  They are really great looking shocks.  Going to bolt them on later today and see how they work.  That is racer respect, giving these to me before you guys get them.   Thanks you two, you really made my day!!!!
