Drive on Daily Basis
How far do you drive ?
city roads or Highway ?
any tight parking spaces ?
Price of Fuel in your area ?
(PW's get 6 to 9 mph or so)
remember these machines were designed for 100% off road use as compared to modern
4x4s that are designed for 99.999% paved road
use
you might want to drive it as it is and see
if a 5 to 10% improvement in driving (top speed) will be worth the expense
drum brakes are fine when in proper working
condition
