P500 What's with all of the rollovers?

[Montecresto]

None of these Pioneers are corner slingers, not what they're made for. Removing the sway bar reduces its cornering capabilities too, you feel more roll. If you're looking to slide it around you'd be better off with the lower stock tires, spreading the stance and leaving the swaybar, and it still won't be any good at it.

Agreed if you’re going to be riding fast and taking corners at speed the ASB attatched is better.

I've never even come close to rolling my 500 but i also never removed the sway bar.

Glad to see I am not the only one that has not removed the sway bar, and knock on wood, I have not rolled mine either.

4 rolls in the 500. 3 of which were at the Takeover due to deep ruts and mud holes. Once in Washington trying to make a 3 point turn on a narrow trail. I should've gone for the 5 point turn instead.

My off-roading and trail riding has never been for the sake of off-roading, but as a means to get to an activity. I used my ATV to get to a hunting spot, or to explore a mine, etc.

I used to be a drag racer and speed freak. I grew out of it mostly. So, the only time I encounter obstacles are when they are between me and where I want to go. I don't go out looking for ways to break my machine or roll over.

But, with my new Pioneer, I would like to use it for more trail exploring and recreational riding. Not necessarily looking for obstacles, but riding for the enjoyment.

By no means, there’s more connected than disconnected.

Yep yep, that’s the way. Got all the rest of that behind you......

Who says the pioneer 700 doesnt power. Lol.

I bet the 1000 would tear it up.

Ordered 1" spacers for the rear just to be safe. Hopefully the local Forest Service LEO for my district won't use a tape measure and bust me for being over 50"... He said he wouldn't at his bachelor party last week...

Weren't those really flops? HA!

I feel there is a big difference between “rolling over” and “tipping over”. With that being said I almost tipped over once in slow motion but it stopped before going all the way and I have never come close to rolling it.

Jump to 1:00 mark.

Jump to 1:00 mark.

That looked unavoidable and was so close to being amazing!

That was a flop! HA!

I’ve never been close to rolling mine over. Mine is actually more stable after getting 26’s (same size on all four). I won’t be disconnecting my sway bar anytime soon.

Bayleaf can attest to that. Was surprised at the smoke afterwards. 2018 PIONEER TAKEOVER - April 20 & 21 - Ride Royal Blue!

You are correct NitroxDiver, there is a difference between rolling and tipping but people like to say, "Man, I rolled my P5" rather than "Man I tipped over my P5." and makes for a better story.

 

[Tflynn]

I just feel like my 700 can't do that!

 

[Mudder]

Now this is a roll over, speed and turn.. skip to 2:30+. Operator error, candidate for darwin award.

Don't think mine would have. But then again, I doubt I would have tried it.

 

[KYhillbilly]

That's the thing...I seriously doubt the 500 is less stable than the Kodiak @PNWGuy mentioned, but it feels more spooky since it's much harder to add body English.

exactly on an ATV i would stand completely on the uphill side at times in the P500 you cannot add that "English" and with the roll bar and other weight up high the center of gravity is much higher.
