The riding was great in Quartzsite!

Well, I put 7 hours on my Teryx this past weekend in Quartzsite, AZ and I must say, I am impressed. The more I drive it, the more I like it. The harder it is pushed, the better it responds. it feels really stable at any speed and it drew a crowd where ever I went. My camp had constant visitors coming up to inspect it. The seat belts rattle in your ear quite annoyingly and so far, nothing has come lose. It jumps pretty well but like all UTV's, has a front end heavy flight pattern. I jumped in behind a tricked out Rhino in really bad dust and passed him in the blink of an eye and checked out. He caught me later and said he let me go but it looked to me like he wanted to see if he could beat me. Who knows but I will be putting a ride together for the Quartzsite area soon so keep posted.
Ok, more observations from the Teryx. The C.V.’s are a third bigger than the ones found on the Rhino. The rear “pumpkin” is mounted with three larger bolts and the frame is much stronger than the Rhino. I took it over to the guys at B&A Motorsports (they build race Rhino’s) and they said it did not look like they would need to gusset anything to make race ready. The engine has huge urethane mounted motor mounts. All good stuff.
How the hell do I down load pictures here?
I just got mine. 33 HP to the rear wheels is what the dealer said and 45MPH is what I got on my GPS before it hits the ignition regulated speed controler. :cry: The engine gets up to speed quickly and seems to be jetted spot on. It is crisp and clean here at 1000'. There is a little engine vibration from the V-twin but about what I expected. It pulls harder than the RZR in the midrange and like the RZR can be driven with the rear end due to the extra power.
I got the Red one and was surprised to find a black bed and wrinkle finish on the red roll cage. The dash on mine is dark as the night sky (with no moon) in Baja. No dash gauges or lights except the idiot light if it is over heating or the parking brake is on and the blue indicator light when in 4 wheel drive. Kind of bleak. The Diff Lock is pretty cool. There are different levels of engagment and you do not have to run it full on or off. Not sure how that works but it a nice feature. The floor of the bed is a black diamond plate pattern and it seems smaller than the Rhino but is obviously larger than the RZR. The headlights worked ok tonight but some after market blazers will be needed. Brakes worked great but seem to be 80% front biased. I am used to more like 65-70% front.
The suspension is very plush and it never felt narrow like my RZR. You can feel the rear sway bar working when cornering it.
I just picked up my new Teryx. It is bad to the bone. Just put 10 miles on it and it is cool. Front suspension soaked up holes very well and the engine is good. The RZR still will pull it but it is strong. I am sure it will losen up a bit but I am impressed.
