Thanks 4 the notice,the write up on the new foreman 500 states there is alot more due to a redesigned cylinder head ,bigger valves somewhere around 50 more cc.So if i were to put a big bore/stroker kit it sounds like mine with mods would be stronger,I careless about speed,I want strong torque increases in low 1 and 2nd gears..What about comparing the new Rubicon 499cc against the 450.My good friend has the 1st year Rubu(2000) in stock with 27 Bi/Tri combo and I go any were he can,if really gumbo thick stuff i can go farther than him.Due to the lower gear and the the ability to hold out longer in rpms.NOT DOWNING RUBICONS AT ALL,I MIGHT BUY ONE IF THEY IMPROVED POWER AND TRANS BOGG IN THICK SITUATIONS(HIS BIKE HAS NOT EVER BROKE ONCE,RELIABLE IS A UNDER STATEMENT) please let me know more details guy!!!!
