P500 To Remove Sway Bar or Not to Remove Sway Bar?

[CraigO]

I really cannot decide weather or not to remove my sway bar on the 2020 P500. What is you opinion?

Remove, keep it in place in case you don’t like it. Mine has been zip tied out the way for 3 years.

You will get many opinions on this. I keep mine on because of so many hill side trails that could cause the P5 to articulate on the down hill side resulting in tip over. You can do as @Mudder and others do and zip tie it in case you want to hook it back up. I haven't done that because I would be stopping a lot to hook back up. Those that do remove say the ride is much improved but i am used to the rough ride. Us Colorado guys are a tougher breed .

Not even sure where mine is stored...

Remove and never look back! It will ride better and actually hold better in off camber situations, as it will articulate better and keep better wheel contact with the ground. It will feel a little more tippy until you get used it.

So, keep the bar in place, it will not interfere with anything?

 

[GSK]

I did for a while, but I finally took it off and hung it on the shop wall.

No issues, just tie it up away from suspension. Or Here’s a thread on how to get it out, from one of our favorite members.

P500 - How to remove the swaybar

As many of us have debated on whether to remove the swaybar or not and how difficult it is.. I thought a little how to would be handy. Tools needed.. Ratchet Short extension 14mm socket 12 mm socket Jack or some means of lifting the rear end to remove a wheel. First step.. Set parking break...

Lol, Sorry Bro, I just had to get more options before I do it.
Don’t mean to beat the dead horse.

I removed it on mine, my wife noticed the difference in the ride in the first 50 feet on the trail

Smoother ride and more fun without it. Just don't take turns at speed. No intention of putting mine back on.

It’s funny we’ve been discussing this for five years now. It’s too easy to test it out. You know what it’s like with it connected, removing two bolts disables it but leaves it in place. Ride it and see what you think and if you don’t consider it an improvement cut the tie wraps and rebolt it. Do be cautious at speed on loose gravel though....
