Would a 2004 Suzuki GSXR1000 be to much for a small buggy?

Who ever said mud bogging has to be at low RPM?

 

[Kaptain Krunch]

Yea, just gear it lower (or maybe fabricate a hi/low range gearbox, that would be bad ***).

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

"rev heaps"-makes power at a really high rpm
but that can be changed with a different cam
you can never have too much power

Yea, I knew that, but what does a high RPM powerband have to do with offroading?

 

[That One Guy]

It's not off roading, per se, it's mud and sand.

 

[modelengineer]

For general offroading it's not ideal, but a high rpm powerband is not a big problem. For 'mud bogging' which I assume is when you pretty much go into a mud hole and get stuck, it would be difficult to slowly creep your way out without spinning the wheels (unless you had some crazy tranny setup). That's all I meant.

 

[That One Guy]

Yup. Totally agree.

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

Run a jackshaft.

 

[ed1380]

all the mudding ive seen has engines screaming. IMO if you stop you sink

 

[freakboy]

yeah thats how a freind blew his 350 going through mud it was screaming and then one day driving through the woods it decided to take a poop.

 

[motor_head]

i'm not saying there's anything wrong with running a higher rpm thats just if you wanted to move the powerband to a lower rpm, and with a 1000 it'll still have plenty of power on the bottom end

 

[KartRacer695]

you can never have to much power in a go-kart, just make it with really strong parts.

You may have a difficult time not dying. Good luck to you sir...
Okay, build thoughtfully, build very well, and respect it when you drive it.
Just for the record, folks- Mudbogging requires high WHEEL speed- engine and gearing accordingly.
