The danger is that the vast majority are not insured.

I can see the danger from those that don't know how to drive down county roads. Their dangerous in cars too. I am surprised this state doesn't allow it for a fee ! Thats more money for them to waste!

Kansas is county/city optional. Last couple years it has been legal in my county. City recently allowing but requires registering it with the city. Read that as pay a fee. LOL!! Just my city allows it. In all honesty,I'm waiting for the first uty/car crash or fatality. I'm concerned with the idiots not being required to have insurance and the consequences. Pretty sure I would not pass city inspection even though I have all required safety items. I'm not really in favor of letting utv/sxs in town and with all of them running on county roads it getting a bit hairy now.

I bet that was funny

Thats great they're legal there. I'm pretty sure they are in Oklahoma too. Not Nebraska, wish they were ! This state is far behind in just about everything !

It would be nice to drive the rails to the store or filling station.

Soooo,I'm out road testing the drivability tune. Hello,Mr Sheriff,sir. What's up? He just shakes his head and keeps on driving. We are now a county that allows utv's/sxs's to use county roads and also Coffeyville does to. I think the effer thought I was just another RZR.

Now I wonder if I can get away with it in town. Be fun to rattle some windows.

Will do! I need to at least replace a leaking o ring on one shock first. I'm thinking maybe Thurs -Sunday this time. I think the DIL and kids will be there then. Not written in stone yet. I'll keep you updated.

HOLY SHIT!!!!!! Just getting some serious tune time with the 427. HOLY SHIT!!!!!

I think I will maybe make a run to LS maybe next week for a few days. Need to do some first of year maintenance on the yxz's and quads. Be a good time to do some shakedown of the new engine. Anyone up for a day trip?

Looking like you have it figured out. FWIW,I think the old 90 at full bump is over rated. IMO,slightly less that 90 is better. When nearing 90 the effect of any damping or progressive spring rates is not very progressive and is approaching regressive .I think it might better to have a slightly more linear damping by not going over 85 or slightly less at full bump. I would not give it a second thought whether you hit 90 at full bump as it ,IMO,is to your advantage with a bit less. I probably was clear as mud with my thoughts.

I know what you mean. Not dead on 90*. Appears to be but not dead on, with in 8* both directions , in and back. It doesn't matter as that is the only location it will fit with any hopes of my radiator staying in its current location. As well as clearing the fuel lines, fuel filter, shift cable and exh pipe on right side.
