my bikes are at mine and my dads shop, the Xplorer is at bare frame right now (broke a water jacket), the 700 is at a dealership trying to get the over heating problem fixed. As far as the Xplorer turning the 31s, it has plenty of power, AAEN built the whole motor and clutches for me, it has snowmobile clutches in it with like a 5000 rpm stall, the motor is very under rated says AAEN, they said their 440 kit makes right at 75, they said the 470 kit should make 90-100 horsepower how i have it set up (it feels like every bit of that). Too bad AAEN no longer offers the 470 kit.. once this motor blows i have to start back at ground zero. as far as reliability, the motor will pop at any time.. it is a two stroke.. only has 1 race on it after being broken in, everything is chain drive from the front end to the rear, the transmission is chain drive as well, i believe in 98 they converted the Xplorers to shaft drive..my only concerns with the bike are the transmission gears, and the cvs on the grillas. It has no problem snatching the front end up with 31x9.5s all around and crushlocks!
