How many times have you tipped yours with it on?
why can't we drop this issue
removing the sway bar is a judgement call,some like it some don't
can't we just leave it at that?

Removing the sway bar will make it tip easier... that's what the sway bar is meant to prevent. However, without the sway bar it should lean more and scare some people before it's too late.

Oh my head hurts , anyone have a couple asprin ?

Guess I'll have to do the rear sway bar removal and let you guys know if it's better seeing as how I've tipped with it on LOL No driver error one time...unseen rut in a mud hole...oh did the GF get muddy-LOL

If removing the sway bar doesn't provide some measure of added stability. Wonder why Yamaha had sway bars removed as part of the rhino recall then?

Because the machines would sway more and people would slow down in the turns. It didn't make them roll less, it gave everyone some warning that they were driving too hard.

They call it a sway bar, but it's really called an anti-sway bar. There's nothing about that part where removing it would make it roll less... it's the opposite. People remove it because it softens the rear suspension and gives a smoother ride at the expense of stiff handling.

I get what you're saying and in some circumstances you're absolutely right.. But by reducing the suspension travel with it on.. there are just as many situations where it can cause issues. That's the thing about a P5.. It's not a car!

My experience is the opposite. The suspension was stiffer with sway attached and I regularly got one or more wheels off the ground in those rutted up and Rocky trails. Not any longer. I found the sway bar problematic.

Anti sway bar can prevent high speed flops, removing it can prevent low speed flops on rough, uneven terrain. It depends on your driving style and terrain as to whether removing it is good for you. I removed mine but dont drive fast n crazy on roads, etc.

Exactly -in our slow rough steep hills it is way better wth it off. Haven't tipped it yet
