The Ultimate Off Road Bonanza Build Returns

Well I rode it today...... and let me say. This thing is insane! The juggernaut is no joke. Plenty of bottom end and it is very fast. It will wheelie off the line and I clocked it on gps doing just over 55mph. The midrange was good but it took a little longer to get to top speed so a little tuning is required but for out of the box it performs amazing. I’m thinking going to a 60 tooth rear sprocket will solve the slow midrange shift. Go get yourself one of these juggernauts you will not be disappointed. This engine revved up to 8000 rpm before I ran out of road so I know this setup has even more potential. I’m just in shock with how crazy this bike is very happy
Rear suspension is near perfect. I need to lower the rear end a little as it sits too high I feel like I’m leaning over the handlebars but that’s a pretty minor adjustment that’s needed. I’m going to ride it for a week or two and see if it needs anymore adjustments but so far just looks like a few small modifications need to be done and then it’s time to strip down for paint
I figure you would need more gearing with a torque converter. top speed sometimes is not good to have on some trail riding. it more about trying to accelerate as fast as you can to the next corner.
how bad is the wheeling for you? can you hold it initially when taking off? does it want to wheeling on you coming out of a corner from low speeds?
you may have to compromise on how much gearing you can put into the bike if the wheeling is uncontrollable?
I have found also sometimes if you feel the handle bars are to close to you? you can off set the handle bar mount forward couple different ways. for example with a different set of clamps that have a off set to them.
also if you thought your handle bars where to high,which they are probably not. you could go just little lower.
what will happen with theses small adjustments it will allow you body weight to go forward little more and keep the front end down. also doesn't help having the motor in the middle of the chassis....
