    keep your chains lubed and berings greesed and don't forget your plugs. they are lifesaviors . also keep your max cleaned out sticks and trash can kill your chains and cause them to break .carry a extra 530 master link at all times . robbie

    You are right about the pressures, I never checked because they looked good but the previous owner had anywhere from 7 to 15 lbs in various tires.

    I would ,Just let off the throttle to a crawl when you are just about to touch bottom,or you will just dig holes trying to climb out.Keep wheel speed to a minimum and you will have better luck climbing out of soft conditions.
