Yep, this is what I did...Went riding last night with some friends in most have RZR 1000 in they have sway bar on the front end removed. I noticed a few times I wish I had more flex vs having a tip feeling going up in down few creek banks.
Has any one done this yet. Am I over thinking things in just need to get used to it. I come from a RZR 800 no sway bars hooked up.
How much does it effect sway when cornering?My front sway bar is off and forgotten. Will never go back on. Still have the rear.
Not a high speed drifter. Maybe someone else can better answer that. But for the riding we do, it has helped stability and traction by getting the low side wheel on the ground where it does the most good. It's useless hanging out in the air.
Old thread but this is the same question I have, and since this question was never answered I was wondering if someone has some new thoughts, a lot of my riding is on the side hills of uneven roads (pitched downhill of course) and in my Ranger there was always a few spots where I had to squeeze my cheeks and pray......in a nutshell, is the front sway bar removal going to help or hurt stability on the side hills?I have been thinking about this and studying the picture and discussion. With the sway bar on, the machine stays flat when the left front is raised, but the right front if off the ground. So, I would assume you loose some traction there, but because the machine does not lean, it would seem to be more stable. In the pic with the sway removed, the right front touches the ground when the left front is raised to the same height, but the machine is leaning to the right side. Would seem to be more unstable. Is this a trade off between traction and stability?
The sway bars mission is to connect one side of the machine to the other and keep the machine flat to the surface you are riding on. On the proverbial flat ground the machine rides level. When you rip around a corner, the machine will stay relatively level with minimal roll to the outside of the turn (aka "mini van roll"). If you disconnect the sway bar, the entire chassis will roll to the outside of the turn more, sometimes much more........., is the front sway bar removal going to help or hurt stability on the side hills?
Thanks.
I have 30" tires, and trust me when I say, I've had it stuffed many times, and have only had minor rubbing. definitely not enough to worry about. Stock suspension with the pre-load turned up.
