Morning Josh. Just yank it out and test. Do a session or two to establish a baseline with your current setup, take out the front bar and try it out. It might turn your chassis to useless jello, OR you could drop some time.
I have been ‘afraid’ to make any drastic changes and constantly blamed my crappy driving. Then I talked to Anthony (tuner for the Birel guys under the Centennial tent) and he suggested taking the front bar out…what do ya know, I dropped a second off my times.
Sidenote: No one else I know (with an Easykart) has the front bar out. Go with what works for YOU.
post your testing results and your experience.
