I've ran them on my 500 and a 250 with no problems.


the silicone hoses have better flow at the inside and in blue color it looks so amazing factory...  8-)

That seals the deal for me. I ordered up as set.

The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

Did it take some getting used to?  I'm so jealous of your tires.

If I was riding off road it would take a bit just because of the additional weight of the fuel.
On the street I don't even notice it.
Yeah, these tires and wheels are sweet as long as it's dry..
A wet surface is a no no  :-o

Very true.
But once or twice a year when the roads are dry and the moss is scraped off it's awesome... 8-)

I know the V Force 3 reeds say it on them.  I'm hoping that means these are VF2's.  Any one know by looking?

Seems like a good deal. How much cash would I have to throw in to upgrade to the 3's?

been slow going on my project.  I'm hoping to be done by the spring.  weather hasn't been great so the garage is super cold. Getting ready to put the clutch back on  but noticed the gear that engages the clutch and the kickstarted hase some play. Is this normal?  All the other gears seem tight but this 1 rocks a bit.  No damage that I can see. Picture for clarification:
