Tire Upgrade for 2007 Honda Rubicon

Question:

I have 2007 Rubicon and nobody else I know has one. I’m thinking about putting 26×10 tires on the front and 26×12 tires on the rear. I do not plan on jetting it or do anything else except the tires for awhile.

I think the Rubicon will handle this without any problems. Do you agree?

Thanks,

LLoyd L. McPherson Jr

Response:

Thanks for your email!

The tires you have selected will work on your Rubicon although you will experience a decrease in throttle response and in take-off power.

The larger diameter wheels mathematically mess-up the OEM tranny and differential ratios. This happens anytime you increase wheel diameter. The consequences are usually zero – although you will miss the power at take-off.

Although you won’t know it, your top speed will increase but the speedo will not verify it. Your speedo doesn’t know what 26 inch tires are so you’ll have to compare to a friends ATV and get a baseline for the correction factor.

I would suggest you use the Rincon’s multiple shift/ratio system to reduce tranny loading when crawling in tight stuff. This will keep heat from building in the hydrostatic tranny and will make crawling much easier on the driveline.

Aftermarket Drive Clutch For Kawasaki Mule

Question:

Where can I find an aftermarket drive clutch for a kawasaki mule (3010 4×4 model) or a factory replacement for a reasonable price? Instead of that crazy $500+ price tag at my local dealer

Darrel Silveira

Response:

Thanks for your email!

You have a big problem. Okay, you can get a Power-Bloc primary (I assume it’s the drive or front clutch you need) which might be adaptable but I have little info on this product anymore.

Ask a dealer who deals with Kimpex aftermarket parts. I would suggest you scour the known universe for a used clutch as the tuning parameters required by your Mule’s 4-stroke mill are very specific.

Good luck,

Motorhead Mark

Nic Granlund Defends His ATV Title in Nashville

0

Pro ATV NASMOTO defending champ, Nic Granlund, is set to defend his National Championship Title at the September 2nd 2007 Extreme Cycle Jam NASMOTO ATV SMGC contest in Nashville at the Music City Motorplex. Granlund will be aboard his ultra fast Yamaha YFZ 450 racer aiming at the ultimate goal.
 
Music City Motorplex is home to the  3rd annual NASMOTO Extreme Cycle Jam ATV Championships for SMX ATV Pro-Am and Amateur ATV SuperMoto. This is a winner-take-all format with a winning purse in excess of $3,000.

The Extreme Cycle Jam will be the most demanding ATV race of the season. The high banks of the Music City Motorplex creates a terminal velocity of over 90 mph combined with the dirt section that is both tight and flowing produces set up challenges for all the competitors.

Too much emphasis on the asphalt leaves the racer open to attack on the dirt and visa versa. Dedicated ATV promoter practice is scheduled for Saturday morning. The premier ATV race is scheduled as the featured race on Sunday and includes the fan-favorite urban jump.

As a tune up to the Nashville round Granlund competed and won in the August 18-19 SMUSA Vet National and NASMOTO qualifier at the Reno Fernley Raceway.  When asked about his Yamaha YFZ performance Granlund has this to say, “The guys were catching me on the straights so I’m going to have to build more horsepower to stay competitive on the high banks of Nashville .” 

The team at the Music City Motorplex has a treat in store for the fans as well. “We have modified the dirt section so that fans can really enjoy the jumps and see the passing lanes,” said Norman Partin, General Manager of Music City Motorplex. “This is the premier event for ATV racing in 2007 and our most exciting event to date!”

For the amateur racing enthusiast, NASMOTO has created a Sportsman class that encourages newcomers to participate in the sport and requires only a tire modification.

NASMOTO will have a tire changing service at the racing facility for all novice SuperMoto riders. The Sportsman class assists local motorcycle dealers in creating a low cost and highly entertaining weekend for their customers. In no other series can a fan say they raced on the same track as the pros.

Tickets with pit passes are $30 at the Music City Motorplex  box office or $15 at participating dealers including Castle Powersports, Precision Cycles, Americas Motorsports , Boswell Harley Davidson and at the track.  Children 5 and under free.
