P500 Swaybar Removal

[William]

I have tried it out without the swaybar and really wish I would have removed it when I got it new! It rides so much better and is not tippy. It is way more enjoyable to ride now....

Yeah, mines not going back on either. My first ride without it was the Takeover, but will be heading back to Windrock in June to test it some more. Any difference I could tell was for the good.

That's what I thought too, wish I had done it sooner. I seriously think it handles better. Not so rigid and it feels like the rear end stays in contact with the ground.

I don't even know where mine is anymore ... somewhere out in the shed.

Is it difficult to remove?

The ride is amazing now with the swaybar off combined with my radial tires!

Took mine off and went for a ride. Quite a difference. There is a old badger hole on a trail I ride on. I usually forget about it. Today I hit it and was really impressed. A lot smoother. No crash and jerk. I'm gonna bump the rear shocks up one notch and try it.

I bumped mine up one notch tighter. It is now on 3 which is the middle setting.

That's where I'm at now. Haven't taken it for a ride yet, maybe this weekend.

Has anyone had to side hill a P500 after taking the sway bar off?

I haven't yet. A couple of off camber situations and it did just fine.

Thanks trigger,
Looks like its a common sense deal.

Exactly, whether on or off you have to use common sense.
Lol, the wife just walked in and saw me writing this. She said ' yeah I was the most skeptical and I like it better off '.
