What is the best best gearing/tires for climb coal hills/dirt hills because right now i cant make it up any coal hills with the predator i get it like 3 quad links from the the top and the back end just digs in and spins . And with the gearing how much power will i lose ???

hey warning i've been up around hazelton in the coal hills. the tops can become real loose. i'm running a 39 tooth in the rear w/ 21" mud sharks. this seems to work ok. the tires seem to make the big difference. are you running the stock tires yet, because they suck in that stuff. first off they are too low profile your swingarm will drag and second they aren't quite aggresive enough tread wise. when i switched tires i walked right up stuff that use to give me headaches. if your spinning you probably need a taller tire for some added ground clearance. i've seen the Realtors ( flipped backwords in the real loose stuff), Maxxis Sur traks, and the GBC mud sharks have some success in those conditions. as i said i use the mudsharks but i think when there do i may go w/ a 22" tire.

ps the spidertracs seem decent too

hey, i use a set of turf tamers with ever other row shaved out for the sandpits/sanddrags in my area and have had real good luck with them , the are a way better tire in the soft stuff compared to the stock tires , you can still use them on the trails (hardpack..ect) but the wear kinda fast.hope this helps....later

Warning i live in Carbondale and my Pred. can climb any of the coal hills in he area.All i did was w/b pipe 12 rings k&n drop in re-jet carb 6 1 in. holes in airbox the stck razor tires worked well bu wore away quckly.I ordered holeshot xcr`s But right now i`m running badlands by Carlisle they seem to work well but are wearing away quickly as well.I am running a 162.5 main jet and 50 pilot jet moved floats up (more fuel in bowl) I can beat any other machine around except my buddys raptor but he has 2 grand into motor so.But i never changed the gearing on it just some motor mods and airbox mods i have no prob. climbing any of the coal hills,i even go up some of the ones other quads won`t even look at.Hopethis helps you out you can e-mail me and let me know when comeing up towart Archabald and Carbondale i wil meet you somewhere.

gear down in the front one tooth. ur predator will run alot better. just go get a sprocket for a honda xr650, itll fit. i run fast trekkers on mine, they hook up real good. never have any problems climbin anything. but id say u need to gear down, itll run alot better

 

[warning]

any other suggestions ?
