So went out for a ride today in about a foot or so of snow and WOW the wheel hop! In four wheel drive i couldn't get the machine to climb the slightest grade. It was less in the fresh powder but was still there and if you started to spin too much the bike felt like it might come apart. It would do it in 2 wheel drive and 4. It was less noticeable in two but still there.
Has anyone had this before? I presume riding in the sand has to be same sort of thing as a packed snow trail. I've had it out in the snow prior, on the lake and river, no problems. Down the ditch in fresh and packed but it seemed as soon as it got into the deep stuff the machine was useless, had to shut it down before it broke something.
Is it a suspension thing? (running plush ELKA shocks) Tire issue? ( running OEM tires) Something with the suspension geometry? ( same idea as the bucking)
Thanks in advance for the help peeps.
