How tight are the trails at broad river? Are they tight?

Broad River ATV has a big variety. It has a 12 mile main loop and 100+ miles of trails off the loop. Most of the trails are not real tight, they are pretty wide and the turns are mild. They are mostly rough, mud hole type trails...good Utility ATV trails.
 They have some real tight trails that were made when they cut some courses in for the woods racing series down here but thoses trails are not always open.
The good thing at Broad River is that all the trails are one-way.

Carolina Adventure World is a good place to ride with some tight trails, off camber, you name it.....you ever been there?

So 4ooracer...
With the new pipe and K&N and the holes in the airbox....how responsive is the throttle at low end? When you rev' it up , is it real responsive or does it stumble at first?
Just curious because I can not run with a open air box lid...it stumbles real bad from idle to a throttle stab. WIth the airlid on, it is good.

Anyway...I am about 1.5 ours from Durhamtown. Also about 1.5 hours to BroadRiverATV park (Broadriveratv.com) , which is closer to you). I am thinking about making a trip myself real soon...When you wanna go?

Have you tried any different tire\wheel combos on your MXU300?

Hey Terry...no , my MXU300 is pretty stock other than clutch mods.

I was thinking about a new tire/wheel combo next year....any suggestions?

I also am toying around with a handlebar change (something a little hight and back a bit) . The stock ones for me are WAY too short and set forward too much....of course I ride the 500 mostly, but every once in a while I like to ride the 300....

Anyway....I am still looking at the Mongoose as well next year.

I am surprised to see you guys running dirt tamers....aren't those like the Maxxis Bighorns? I figured those would be too heavy for you racing and you guys would go with something lighter. Don't get me wrong....I might get me a set for Summer riding (when it is bone dry and rocky....the XTR is not the best there I found out this year).

500Racer2.....you d man.....I am glad I am not out there racing against you....you'd have me all spooked :D
You guys are gonna be a hell of a team....four Kymco racers all on the line side by side going for the hole shot every race...look out.

Allright.....been waiting on your review.
Yes, you reported everything just like I thought....

Power is strong, except there is this low end bog. Removing the two roller weights does wonders here as well as just getting through the break in period and looseing up the motor some. I run 26" XTR's and I can spin them now....before I could bog it down with my 25" stockers.

The pipe will wake it up as well....what pipe is it?

The handling is ok, but the a-arm improvements that 500Racer2 and Dan (he rode the Mongoose last year) are working on will eventually make it to stock units and that will drastically improve the front end. Make sure your toe in is set right...that adjustment helped me a lot!

Please keep us informed on what you think and what mods and all you do.....it helps us regular guys out alot :)

I was on gnccracing.com and read that the 4x4 lites class has to run with racks installed this year and that the U2 lites class is gone.

"......So, U2 Lites is gone, and 4x4 Lites continues with the same rules we had already set for 2008—machines racing in that class must have racks as standard equipment."

You guys got your racks bolted back on?

(oh yeah.....don't forget about us over at Frontier)

Thanks for the replay.

Yeah..the clutch always seems to be the first place to modify. I made big gains on my MXU300 by tinkering with the clutch.

I just like the way Kymco made the a-arm improvements (2+) on the '08 model. I liked the current Mongoose, but the first thing I would want to change is the a-arms...the '08....well...I don't have to :)

I have  a '07 MUX300....I am thinking about putting a set of '08 Mongoose a-arms on them.

I may be looking at getting a '08 Mongoose fisrt of the year...I'll be sure to let you know all about it. ;D
