Hey how often do you have to change the oil in yer predator? I've heard 20 hours, 15 hours, 10 hours, even 7 hours of hard riding calls for an oil change! I do more than that in a single day! anyways, this would be a lot of help before I decide to go out n get a Preddy. Thanks bud.

Posted by: Braff1

I change my oil after every 2 races or 3-4 trail rides. But I am one of those people that believes in changing it often too.

Pred_rider
Nice Ride!! What kind of seat cover you have on there?

Dan

Posted by: Pred_rider

Thanks guys for the compliments. As far as oil changes go I change mine every 10 hrs or every 3 to 4 rides which ever comes first. As for my seat cover it’s a jet trim the original makers for quad techs and rath racing there’s go for about 140 $ to 150$ jet trims go for 110$ plus 10$ ball park in shipping in no more than three days its in your door step.

you need to change the oil in any 4 stroke that often... if you dont want to.. you gotta buy a POS shee and rebuild every 40 hours...

are the pred 500 fast ? havent really seen them ride, very rarely

Posted by: Pred_rider

I would have to say their pretty fast not only because I own one but because they shred for being 420s pounds or so. Two of my friends have shees piped , jetted and all I can say is she makes me feel pretty dam good.

420 pounds, whew! I love the look of the preds and have heard a lot of great things about them. anyway to shed off a little weight though? the yfz is a mere 350, my 300ex weighs more than that!

Ive got a vid of a guy who has lightened his Predator Drag Qaud to a cool 342lbs

that thing flat out hauls! I wouldnt want to MX with it though!

Posted by: K2Snow

342, how much money was put into that!? i'm gonna need a new quad soon as I am moving near glamis. the pred seems like a great choice if i could get it down to atleast 375 without spending a bundle.

Under 900.00

.. If you are serious about it and REALLY want to, then I would Call Doug Nicholas his drag bike is a mean machine

Posted by: K2Snow

did he just switch out parts for lighter parts? add kickstart and remove battery? i wonder if the quad is as durable with lighter parts. i definitely don't want a drag bike, i want a hill climbing, dune jumping machine

u cant put a kick start on the pred unless u did some major modding to the cases, he could remove the electric start and just bump start it every time, or he came up with a way to start it like a drag car with the out of car starter thatd be sweet, i think he changed out the swingarm, removed the fan, removed front brakes, removed airbox, he could remove the big radiator for drag racing and opt for a smaller one, especially since he is just doing drags not any long distance stuf....ive come up with most of the ideas on my own actualy removing the fan came to mind as one of the major weight savers i bet that thing weighs a good 10 lbs lol, theres many little things u could do i would need to sit down and look at the bike to see wat i can take off without any effect lol

How are the preds for jumping? I read on predatorowners.com about a bunch of tranny issues with the 03's and polaris' horrendous customer service

there isnt a better Company out there right now IMO thats backing there product like Polaris has done. They have covered and are STILL covering the issues with Frames and Tranny even past the warrenty. They have also done alotof changes for a first time model. As for Jumping...Its heavier I wont lie to ya, but its all about a persons preference.But my ole man took the local Chamiponship MX series this year on his ! Ill have to post some of the MX pics. What you need to do is find someone that will let you ride one for a bit and see if its the quad for you

Posted by: K2Snow

well, i know which is the quad for me, the yfz450

i just figure i'll be able to spend a lot of money going with the pred. what are they going for otd anyway? a little under 6G?

I got third in the holeshot and was holding second for a while until i got hung up on a tree for about 2 minutes which let around 12 guys pass!

some more pics from the xc race!
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid106/pe41b36a9459f863f0760d0a0568ab340/f96e11cc.jpg
the track also had some huge mud holes! you may also notice the black bag on the lower part of my back. I ran my helmet cam for the first time in a race and the quality was amazing and its great to see parts of the race all over again(even if they werent good!)
I was surprised that the picture was so perfect even with all the bouncing from the whoops!

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid106/p2e79e88d267540989d7361f211fe5221/f96e11c9.jpg
the track was really whooped out and sandy which made for a tough first race of the race, but my elkas handled a lot better than stock!

i just got my PEP damnpner today...i lost $60 last night playing poker so im not doing too good myself on money for the quad i figured id make a few bucks at poker i got screwed in guts tho lol.....when i get my quad together in another mont

ill let u kno how it is tina, i bought it from motomahimahi on ebay for $120 shipped and got it in 3 days

its a really nice looking piece and the instructions are drawn but pretty easy to understand after u read it 7 or 8 times lol....it only has two settings tho soft or firm but its rebuildable and very sturdy looking i recommend it by the looks of the quality havent tested it yet i might put it on one of the preds on the showroom to see how it feels...TLP
