Back in those days it wasn't a question of whether the bike could handle the tire, it was a question of whether the rider could handle the bike! Fifty horsepower with a powerband 1000 RPM wide and a throttle like a toggle switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought it in 1,000 pieces as the prior owner snapped a shaft in the engine and decided to take entire bike apart to fix it up. I got it, fixed some things...took the rear wheel & swing arm to the local motorcycle shop & told them I wanted the largest rear tire that would fit. He looked at me, hemmed & hawed.... said he had...(pulled one out) THIS tire.... but he wasn't sure the bike could pull it. I said no problems.....put it on for me. Dirtbike was a Maico 490. I figure if it couldn't man-handle that tire, probably nothing out there could. Fun stuff!! Winter tires 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I specifically opted to not get the turbo model on these purchases. I didn't want any "turbo car problems". After tuning countless boosted race and street cars, owning a bunch, I know what happens. I wanted to focus on getting out on the trails. And, I don't feel like my tuned 900 is lacking power, even at 8-9k ft ASL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty Favog Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Just got an AC Infinity T8 for this Pioneer Elite VSX49-TXi that you could barbeque on when it's at idle. So far, so good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got rid of my previous plow machine when I bought these as I didn't want to maintain more than 2 machines, but the 570 will become the new plow machine.
