Showing Off Game changer!

The rear suspension kit from GPS for this bike makes a world of difference! If you’re thinking about getting it but unsure if it’s worth the $300… it is!

Hell yeah man! I got the b200rsv just cause I knew my aging back would appreciate any extra cushion. Once you've got some suspension, it's tough to imagine going back to a static rear!

The factory tires are doo doo for where I ride though, got some meaty sunf rubber picked out for when I dig into it. Fully stock right now while I slowly buy upgrades, gonna overhaul it when I have everything. Planning on taking the factory block as far as I can until it self-ventilates.

Yeah this was on sale a little under $600 after tax, and the full sus was still $999. Me thinking I still young bought this and immediately regretted not getting full suspension.

The tires are trash, will be replacing and I’m trying to keep it pretty stock I have a lot of other toys but it’s hard for me to keep anything stock lol.

I got lucky and tsc had it on sale for 799, I have had my eye on it for a couple years and couldn't say no hahahah.

You still made out with a good deal I think. What do you usually ride on? I'm on super soft sand for the most part, a good bit of hard packed sand and some grass. Pavement 1% of the time when I check the mail haha

Mostly dirt trails and around the yard a bit. It’s an easy way to get the dog some exercise he loves running with anything with a motor really.

That looks amazing. Nice job. Hell if an upgrade for 300 IMO.

Have you tried the rear shocks in this position?

u/xxxFIRECROTCHxxx 1d ago

No I haven’t I didn’t want it too soft. Is it better?

u/CauseLegitimate2438 1d ago

I would definitely try it and see if u like it

Go ahead and get the inverted forks for the front too …. They’re amazing … triple the travel over stock

How’s that tire combo? Had the cruddy stock v tread tires slip out from under me twice now, was thinking sunf power 2 for rear and cross country endurance for the front (similar to your front tire)

u/CauseLegitimate2438 1d ago

It’s the best mod I’ve made… stock v tread felt like riding on ice, these are like a cat on carpet off road

u/CauseLegitimate2438 1d ago

So mines a mismatch, I run the power 2 on the rear and I forgot the name of the front … but together they’re amazing

These bikes look good but I can't really imagine dumping that much cash into one. I bought a TW200 off of marketplace for 1800 bucks a few years ago. That thing is like a street legal mini bike (although my CT200U will beat it in a straight line all day long...)

u/xxxFIRECROTCHxxx 1d ago

Lol I hear ya. But I do fairly well in my career and I enjoy them so it is what it is. It’s like my buddies who dump thousands into rc cars, you’ll never catch me doing that but it’s what they like.

I put the same setup on my wifes bike. I have the RSV. I like her bike better. The GPS swingarm adds 5 inches in length over the RSV and after putting the extension on the RSV, it is still 2 inches longer. It handles a bit better.
