It’s very roll over prone. If it’s going to be regularly traveled, and you have the ability, working that section of trail would be prudent. The exact angle of roll over is subjective. Depending on whether or not your sway bar is connected, how much gear you have low in the sxs, how many riders and their weight, whether or not you have spacers on the wheels, and/or taller tires than stock, etc...., etc.......
Type in pioneer 500 tipping point on this forum it will give you a visual that somebody posted on this site.
I put an tilt meter in my Talon and then realized that the 38.x* on the placard is a static number. Add one small bump during an off camber (dynamic) and over ya go.
Carry a highlift jack or ride with some strong good ole boyz. It's actually 33.6 so the placard that came with the honda said. By the way that's prime circumstances as you
33.6 however like stated above its static and many variables involved.
No clue. I read different opinions on swaybars on all kinds of forums. Conclusion I came to is I still dont know cuz everyone's ideas on that subject are different.
Maybe one of these days when I get bored I'll try to tip it with sway bar on then take it off and reenact the same circumstances stance and let everyone know.
Maybe @PaulF would have a better or different opinion, he seems to understand suspensions pretty well. The way I take it from experience is you don't need the sway bars in slow speed trail riding / rock crawling, you get better articulation without them, high speed stuff, you would be out of your mind to remove the sway bars. Ok Paul take it away!
In Montana I would leave the sway bars, lots of mile sections to cover unless your in the mountains?
Curious now that you brought it up of how many pioneer 500s have tipped with sway bars vs without?
