Hey guys. Im looking at an '02 Blaze with Ohlins and it all. Whats the deal with all of the ATK updates? Do they have to be done or will the bike be fine without them. It looks like it was raced and the dealer wants $4,000. That seems like a fair price to me. I won't buy it if the updates are necessary.

I sold her...the R is gone...Im quadless...

The updates should be done. It is just a matter of time if they aren't done.. There are alot of them. Not all need to be done, but most of them should be done..

Sandgods right. If you have no intentions of sticking a little TLC into the quad then seek out another manufacturer. it may seem daughting to pull an engine to do all the updates but its really nothing that anyone whos been around conventional quads cant handle. The engine is really a easy design to deal with .

hey WISTECH what are the top speeds on your bikes? I am really interested in cannondales because no one around here has one that i've seen and it would be pretty nice to wip everyone

Well I know my stock engined quads are comparable to the other 450 quads out there but my 470 dune quad just dynoed 55 horse yesterday and should have some sweet top speeds . Thats almost 20 horse more than the stock cannondales . This winter it will be campained out on the ice so we shall see what it can do.
