I personally have only put 60 miles on it myself..my brother has been riding it when he comes to visit. He said it feels faster the the 03. I like it..it's more comfortable and steers easier for sure but at the same time its quite a bit different then the 03 so i'm having trouble with the transition to it. But I did start messing with some suspension adjustments to get it to handle how i like. I'm sure once i get use to it i'll like it a lot better. Major imporovements are the rear skid, weight reduction, deffinatly the seat and on the running boards the edges have a bar with grips for your feet, which i personally love because mt feet sometimes slip off the 03.

Hey Thunder check out this response to RX suspension issues. Lots of good info from BETHEViper....
For carbides, use shaper bars with dartless plates, if you search dartless on ebay, you will find them. This removes darting and doesn't cause cornering and fuel mileage issues like duallies cause.
If this is an 03 rx, you will need a 12-13mm sway bar and the links, straight rate springs from an 04 and up, rx or apex.
if you can find them, buy apex or vector shocks, this lowers the front end even lower for handling.
set the front springs up as loose as can keep the front springs in.
If it is an o3 or o4, change the seat to 05 or apex style seat
for the rear skid, in 03-04, there is alot to improve on, in 05, there are some updates and the shock should be revalved and sometimes resprung.
the links below will help you with non mono skids,
if you use the dartless plates you will shim your skis even, you will be amazed how easy the sled will stear and if all this above is done, it will handle.
feel free to pm me any questions.

Thanks..the 03 I have set up pretty much how I liek it..I've been hitting corners much harder then i could last year. But she beats the hell outta me in rough trails. I'm gonna have to look into the W arm on the 05..as of right now the 05 has 400 miles on it, purchased it this year with 250.
