Sway bar removal?!?

[2004MXZ800]

I am wondering what are your thoughts on sway bar removal? I removed mine on my 2004 MXZ 800 and it handled 100x better. The fun factor went up and I could carve easier and side hill a lot easier. Will it be the same case with the old wedge chasis? I have to replace a sway bar bushing but if it reacts the same as my MXZ ill just cut it out

Yank it out of there unless you just ride trails exclusively. I wouldn't cut it as removal is easy by dropping one trailing arm at the back mount. Drill out the rivets on the plastic blocks where the sway bar goes through the belly pan and it will come out easy.
