While I have yet to receive the tires and wheels for the front, I could not wait one more day, I had to go play and test out the new rear tires at least.

The track was horribly muddy and on my first trip down I decided to turn around and head back toward our staging area cussing the fact the the V Force was only 2 wheel drive. I just simply could not control the bike with the front ITP Holeshot tires. But between the few of us running the track, the wind and the power of the sun, the track began to whip into shape.

I have always said that suspension is one of the most important performance modifications you can do to an ATV. I think perhaps the Precision Racing stabilizer may have just overtaken my though process. A good suspension does you no good if you can't steer; especially on a heavy ATV like the KFX-700.

It's all about having a good time and going home safe. The cool videos and pics are an added bonus. The fact that we were able to torture some new products was also a added bonus. I agree with GW on the steering stabilizer I believe if your going to ride hard the first purchase you should make is a steering stabilizer.The next should be suspension. After that get yourself a big bag of nuts.
Lets see ... where do I start ?? .... NICE !!!! :hello: .... Yeah, that and SWEET !!! ;;t;; ;;t;;

Great stuff man! So do you agree with Heritage that first mod should be the stabilizer.
Great stuff man! So do you agree with Heritage that first mod should be the stabilizer.

I have been pondering the statement all day long. I can't honestly decide at this point. Reason being, I am already running Elka suspension on the V.

But I keep going back to my original idea. What good is the soft landing afforded by an aftermarket suspension if you can't keep the handlebars in your hand?

The Precision stabilizer made a world of difference in rider fatigue and arm pump. Keep in mind though that we ran in essence 2 GP style enduro races yesterday with lots of hills, whoops and jumps. You can see in the pictures how the jumps were. It can get quite fatiguing.
