Would like some help with a set up for thumb pump 2011 i am hoping to do it as i missed this years because had no money for the quad 
I have a banshee and would like to know what i need and what you recomend to do the enduro it has a kill switch, fmfs, skid plates, wide axle, plus 3 aarms, just had the rear shock upgraded by quadsquad and im getting a set of fox floatX for the front and nerfs basicly.
I know i will not be competative or even close im just doing it for the fun as i have never raced before so just after some advise on what i need and the quad needs if possible like what to bring and what to prepare for.

Just go for it as you've got it now mate. I got 5th in open mens this year on a pretty much fully standard YFZ450. Just try and get really fit before you ride it.

I've been working on it already, and will be taut, trim and terrific...

The other things that I think you may need to look at is basic spares,
i.e: Chain and chain roller and guides and soaked in chain wax as it looks sandy.
Tyres if you get a flat.
Correct tools on hand.
Fuel
water etc, etc.
And some basics for when you finish, a nice cold beer. |

21 or 22 inch rear tyres to keep your guts out of the sand, and any accessory that makes your quad more comfortable
Things like Flexx bars, lightest throttle pull, no crazy top end power mods.
Unless you wanna win the drags...
But some super radical drag quads roll up to take care of that.

like Bullet said, most important to have the right tyres, the ruts get damn deep by the end of the weekend.

Is it going to be like a drive thu car wash where the rider still sits on the bike and everything gets done at once ?
If so i don't want to be washed with the same stuff that has touched those stinky Victorians

Well Bullet, in our camp we weren't stinky Victorians, because I had my own shower, with our own brilliant victorian water. While everyone else, who were relying on South Australian showers, were stinky, because they didn't work.

Yep, but we don't want to give any to you. Because all you do is put it into huge lakes to evaporate.
