I'm flying up to Bikeman Performance's shop to do something final testing, install some more performance stuff, and if you're interested in coming by you might see a one off, never been done before Ranger XP, performance wise. It's hush, hush, so if you come by you have to promise to keep it a secret. Just kidding, but I'm excited about getting up there tonight to work hand in hand with Dale, do some dyno runs, and I'd love to hang with some of you guys. I may even let you test drive it! It's going to be sick, to say the least.

PM me if you'd like to stop by, and I'll give you my cell phone #.

Good luck with the project and let us know how it turns out.
Will do!

Chris
Yep, what Bruce said.

Good luck, keep going....
Keep us posted.
Yes I was there and it ran just ok. Mine runs well and chris beat me in a race down the road, but I tore it up out if the hole. I think it got more mods today that woke it up from it's nap......Curt
Both machines run better than any other Ranger I've seen so far. It's amazing the difference there is.

Chris
Is there going to be a list of things done to them posted?
I'll bet it is going to be a long long list.
Mine will be detailed out in Cartwheelin' Magazine, and I'm sure Curt will let everyone know soon how his runs. It will throw a roost over 40ft long with 29.5" Swamplites weighing in at 48lbs per tire, if that tells you anything. :) When Dale tell everyone clutching is everything, he's not kidding. Mine starts off like a car, shifts easy, and is a blast to drive.

Now you've got my interest.
I know it might sounds stupid or crazy, but it's honestly true. I was blown away with the difference. It's a totally different machine, to say the least.

And, with much smaller lighter tires, we'd most likely be pushing around 80 gram weights in the primary and a steeper helix, as well. It would be a rocket. We never tested it with the stock tires, but they will be soon on their brand new 2007.

Chris
When you say it "starts like a car" what exactly do you mean by that?
I have the white spring/washer stock belt set up and it starts off less jumpy than it used to, but it's still hard to ease it a few inches at a time like when you need to spot it on the trailer or back it up into a corner of the shop. It would be nice to be able to 'ease' into gear.
It's something you'd have to send to your primary to Bikeman or buy a special tool. I don't know what it's called, but Dale would know exactly what it is. I'm sorry I'm not being more clear, I just can't remember what he called it. When I say it drives like a car, there's virtually no jerkiness off idle to get it moving. The white spring is going to make it more jerky, though. If you want it to be less jerky off idle, go back to the stock spring or talk to Dale and get it fixed for good.

Here's one:

P.S. I'm sick as a dog from my allergies back East. The green humid stuff kills me! :)
