    HelmHoltz resonator - No more drone !

    Since I bought my 2013 Scab which had a full custom stainless steel exhaust line, I found I had an horrible drone between 1500-2000 rpm, especially when engine/exhaust was cold, and i'm really not ear sensible, custom exhaust is the first mod I do on my cars & dirtbikes but damn that was too...

    cold weather and clunking shocks

    my front shocks have become noisy since it's cold here, but I feel the sound is coming only from the left shock, only on big obstacles like speed bumps, I hear a noise like something was rubbing or a metallic clunk, so maybe it's not caused by the weather... What do I need to check along with...

    How "smooth" is a Raptor really supposed to be?

    True. I feel the Raptor more like a Motocross bike...If you go slow you'll find the suspensions very harsch, but once you step up and gain some speed, you will find yourself bombing the trails with a lot of comfort, regarding the situation... I made a little trip yesterday, first part was...

    Winter Driving in 4WD High

    So there's no way to know when it's really engaged unless you just wait a few seconds after 4x4 High icon appears ? Read on FRF it could take up to 10-12 sec but maybe I misunderstood or this was just a precaution not to slam the gas pedal to early... About switching on the fly, on a recent...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Jigks thank you for the pics, I will surely go the same way than you for my mount...The location fits perfectly the needs... You said you wired it to Aux switch #4, that switch is on a 10A fuse line if i'm right, I would believe this is not enough for such a big compressor (?)

    Winter Driving in 4WD High

    As long as the road is wet, in 4WD Hi the wheels will have enough skip, but on dry pavement you can really feel the front wheels struggling in sharp turns... That said, in snowy conditions I would go 4WD Hi, better safe than end your trip in a ditch...
