I used to have 2 suzuki race quads and i was doing top ends pretty much once a month on one of them..then I started mulching transmissions, But i dont think you'll have any problems, i was pushing close to 60 horse outta a quad that comes stock with 36..

Now im more of a buy new (for really cheap) beat the crap out of it, and launch it while i still can kinda guy.

In other news: I finally installed the leveling kit on my truck, it now looks like im doing 90mph all the time. But it sits at about the same height as a leveled 350 now with the leveling kit installed and bigger tires

Nice. And yeah im going to take it apart and replace all the lines in the coolant system, and have my friend do a compression test on it to see how it is. I think my snowmobile has 118 HP and 2700 miles
