Does any have the power steering kits installed on their machine? I noticed their are two kits available. I just wonder how the feel is for race applications. I know it would help with the bump steer, but how quick is the response.
I have a friend that just installed the SuperATV brand kit on his bike and with him running a 29.5" tire it helped tremendously. He says it responds immediately just like a new truck but now his wife wants to drive it all the time! I'm ordering the same one for my RSX asap.
The EZ Steer unit by SuperATV works awesome, we installed one on our Gator and its a night and day difference. I don't see how you could race without power steering. There a good tutorial on how to install the unit here: John Deer Gator RSX EZ Steer Power Steering Unit Install | utv mechanic
I have the SuperATV PS unit sitting in my shop waiting to be installed. They have a video of the install also. Once you get PS, you will never want to go without it again. I had it on a PoPo ATV and I miss it. They only trouble I have with the steering of my RSX is when the 4wd is engaged and I am turning and the kick back.
I've had the Power Steering on my RSX 850 for several months now and it works great! I haven't had any issues with it. It came from Super ATV. Mine has been put through some pretty Extreem conditions and so far, so good.
I've got the SuperATV kit too and love it. Although I've been noticing an issue. When I got to start my machine, turn the key on and all the pretty lights on the dash come on, then I go to crank it and everything goes off. I have to turn the steering wheel slightly to get it to come back on. I've got a small short somewhere. After I get i get it started I have no issues at all.
