What did you do for your ATV today?

[neilsleder]

My vote is the 900 ranger but really like the looks of the new General. But you are the one that knows what you need out of a sxs. For me I needed more then 2 seats so the ranger was the way to go, plus I really like Polaris sxs. The Viking for me I would stay away from it if it still has that same wet clutch as the rhinos. Neighbour had a rhino and when he put big tires on he couldn't keep wet clutches in it. The Kawi is the only 4 seater I would get. The new honda 1000 looks nice but I am not a honda fan I don't see why people like them?!?!

I've never really heard of people having issues with their wet clutch as long as they use low gear when necessary.

Edit: I guess I have heard of issues from people who are pushing an extra 20hp than the machine was designed for.

I never heard of it in the quads either. Just with the added weight of the sxs. He had it clutched for the tires to. Just when we went mudding or skeg it was hard on it. He put 3 in his rhino and it only had 1200km.

When you add the weight of a sxs / crap in the box / 300 lbs of mud and a few other things like winch and bumpers etc etc . Now add 30 inch tires .... You are pushing close to a ton in a lot of cases ......
yamaha needs a stronger motor , as the grizz motor is great in a quad / new ball game in a sxs ,

My ranger clutching spins 32 inch tire all day with zero issues ..... Popo has the clutching down pat...imo

From my knowledge the rhinos were always hard on the wet clutches, maybe bad design? I know a guy who had to replace his on a stock rhino and always used low gear.

Ah yes, good point. Never really thought it through before I replied.

So what your saying is

When you clutch her when wet.

Drive her low

 

[neilsleder]

I ordered a clutch kit. So will also put a new belt on and take a look at the rest of the clutches.

the rhinos dont like the raised engagement rpm from the epi kits however with stock wet clutch springs a machined sheave and proper weights and secondary spring we have been turning 30" rubber for 3000kms+ as a properly tuned 734 (zillas mind you not a heavy ass mud tire)

Guy at work had the pioneer as a demo last year for May long.

He was disappointed. Did not work well at all for any of us.

He went with a Kawi 4 seater.
Thing is amazing.

the 1000 honda??

 

[arff]

the 1000 honda??

Not sure if 800 or 1000

But it did not do well at all

Picked up some pro armor harnesses from cycle works they gave me a fawk of a deal(cycle works is the best there I said it).Plan on installing tonight,bought a flat of beer in case it takes longer then a six pack.The old seat belts filled up with mud and then they wouldn't come out or retract(they sucked).

 

[X-Treme]

Installed some Rigid cubes in place of the stock headlights.



Yup. A little bit better.

i have ridden them as well and the 700 is a dog however to my surprise the 1000 is completly different and quite impressive... walked on a commander by about 3 lenghts not that a commander is a race car but definatly impressive for honda

 

[rzrgade]

Yes the 1000 is a whole new deal ...
when Hondas sport version comes out it should rip pretty good ....

The motor and trans are pretty high tech .....!

 

[arff]

I think it was the 700. When the first one came out.

It was a disaster

 

[rzrgade]

Yeah it was the 700 it's a puny little single .... The 1000 is a high tech twin out of the Africa street bike line .....

great fishing machine, pen the door and they fell out.
