I got the call from the dealer Tuesday evening, it is in. I finally got my Predator back to its stock form (it still looks new). I hope to get a chance Friday to go and get it.

Cool man, the outlaw has IRS right? Have you had a chance to ride one? The only IRS quad I've ever ridden was a Sportsman 500 and it rode NICE, but felt kinda tippy in the corners. I'm sure on a sport quad it's a little stiffer. Congrats man!!! Should be badass.

Yes it has irs. I test rode a 500 last year right after I got my Predator. They handle very good and don't feel tippy in the corners.
The 525 is only 395 lbs wich is only 35 lbs heaveir then yfz. Couple guys have gotten them on the dyno already and they are dynoeing stock right at 40hp the torque si unreal though.

I got it. It is dang fast but it doesn't feel like it, because there is no powerband it has incredible power throughout the full rpm range. It has so much torque it is unreal.
We drag raced it and a 05 450r trade in at the dealer and it just blew the 450r away.

That suspension looks great. Lots of adjustment there, bet you could have that riding SOFT.

After ridign it some I have made compression adjustments and lowered teh springs 2 more turns. I will have set so I can fly through the whoops at full speed soon. I also realized today that I am way out of shape. |

I just thought I would bring this over from the Raptor site.
This is from the Raptor site reguarding the 525 at the dunes this weekend. This guy also has a heavily mooded Raptor, but bought the 525. This is what happen.
Ok heres the facts. with stock 525 and stock jetting
1st Yes it will beat a bone stock Raptor 700 by about 3 lenghts.
2nd Yes it will beat a 700 with no baffle and no lid by about 1 lenght
3rd It will not beat a 700 with a pipe and filter
4th It will destroy most 450's with bolt ons
The facts with 525 with no baffle or lid on air box and stock jetting
1st It will now trade wins with a 700 with a pipe (but not the 2 with the lte)
2nd It would beat some banshee's
3rd It did get beat by a ltr but the guy wouldnt say what he did to it.
