So it ran well, REALLY well.
I was asked to drag race a piped, and filtered 660r and beat him with NO problems. Mine is obviously still stock. I never even got all the way out of 4th. It was scary fast, but very stable at those high speeds. Not bad for mine being COMPLETLY stock.
I took it later on some technical hill climbs and descents with big rocks and loose stuff. The gearing seemed a little too high and I had to ride the clutch to keep it from killing. It was still very torquey and pulled the wheels in any gear.
It also did very well in the off-camber turns and was very forgiving when I did second gear wide sweeping donuts. I didn't think I would like the IRS, but I'm a new convert. It soaked up bumps that would have thrown me off into the scenery on my 400EX with ease.
1st gear is low, but like I said before, not low enough for technical stuff. It's great for drag racing though. 2nd gear rocks your socks. I never bottomed out or high centered ONCE.
(No, the fenders aren't touching the "wall".)
I also took it through some mudd that was about 6" deep at WOT and went through quickly. The mudd roost was epic.
I can't wait to uncork this with a slip on and a filter. Paddle tires for the dunes would be nice too.
Black plastics scuff easy, ESPECIALLY above the foot pegs.
Here are some more pictures before I went riding:
