P500 - How to remove the swaybar

 

[Delton]

Pic 2 to disconnect... pic 1 if you want to take it completely out.

That's what I figured. Thanks bud

Anyone running arched a arms without sway bar wondering how it handled with a arms

Just now went outside and unhooked mine. I can tell it going over rough stuff. Went out on the road and really didn't notice a difference going around curves. I took them at my usual speed. Even a really sharp one with a bad bump in it lol. I'll test it more off-road whenever I get a chance. So far I like it.

Cool.

I put over 38 miles on it today on the streets. Very stable. Couldn't tell any more body roll than normal.

I got the same results. Last weekend we did some trail riding with a little top end pavement mixed in. I never felt any tippiness going on at all!

Help please I haven't unhooked mine yet but I'm really considering it. I have the stock tires on mine. With the sway bar off and having the stock tires will that make it more tippy than what you guys experience with your bigger tires ? I use it up in the hills but also down the road on pavement.

Tire size shouldn't matter where stability is concerned when related to your sway bar. I'd say give it a go.

I agree with @Tflynn. Go ahead and try it. It isn't very hard to unbolt and you can always hook it back up if you don't like it. I zipped tied mine up out of the way. I didn't remove it completely.

Mind you, Oaks riding a 500. I don't know about stock tires, my riding buddy is still running stocks but I can't get him to disconnect his for the test. Im pretty sure everybody in the 500 forum that have done the disconnect are running spacers, offset wheels or both, and usually wider and taller tires.

I run stock bighorns on the street. Only difference on mine is the HL bracket lift.

Yeah I noticed that. Either way he can always hook it back up if it doesn't work. That is the reason I zipped tied mine. I plan to test it thoroughly before going through the trouble of complete removal.

Well She could indeed hook it back up if she's uncomfortable with it.

Not to be critical of anything these other guys have experienced here, it might be prudent for you to base your decision on this by what you find in the 500 forum. This subject has been discussed in great detail in multiple different threads there and will be based upon the same machine that you're riding.

I ziptied mine as well to keep it from banging against the A-arm. Since street manners was basically my only concern, it's probably okay for me to completely remove it.

I guess I've got to try this now. It worked great on the P700 but I've been Leary of it on this one because it's heavier and faster. However, y'all have convinced me to at least try it.

I haven't tried it on any trails yet. Just big mound of dirt and couple of big rock piles behind my house. I liked the way the rear flexed over the rocks.

For those concerned about stability, has anyone tried filling their tires with water? This is very common in agriculture to do to tractor tires and also in rock crawling. Granted, our little sxs tires have much less volume in comparison to tractors or rock crawlers, but it is a free easy way to lower your center of gravity, even if only a little.

For example, on a 26x9x12 tire would hold roughly 5 gallons of water or 41 lbs. Multiplied over 4 tires is 164 lbs of unsprung weight helping to keep the rubber side down. I'm sure it's not for everyone but hey it's an idea.

Sorry for not getting back sooner someone stole my phone at lunch yesterday. You figured it out quickly though.
The times I felt it a little was loaded with people or sidehills. Other then that it's really good. I don't think you'll be reconnecting it anytime soon
