The Brute has been clean twice: when it was brand new and when it had some service done and they Simple-Greened the whole thing. I doubt it will ever be this clean again, but hey, it's supposed to be dirty! I try my best to wash it after every ride but there's so many places that mud likes to get stuck that it's impossible to make it perfect.

That's a very nice looking machine. The 4x4 end of the sport is growing on me more and more. Not enough to get rid of the 450 or any other sport for that matter.

Thank you! Yes, 4x4s are definitely getting sportier. But after having two very heavy and utility-based quads (Kodiak 450, Brute Force 650i), I think I'll get something a little sportier next. That won't be for a while, but a Renegade 800 sounds good to me :drool5c:

If you get a Renegade, change the tires. The stock ones are squirrelly on the Renegade. To the point I think they are flat out dangerous.

I don't understand why companies put crap rubber on the rims. The stock Duncraps that come on the 450R give the quad the rep of a quad that flips easy through turns. I thought the same thing until I got my Razr2's.

      Howdy ya'll. I am working ona 2000 Yamaha Breeze 125. It was in rought shape when I received it and I am working through issues as they pop up. The quad had been sitting for years. I was able to get her running again, but I need your help with the following issue:
      I don't trust the transmission yet and I don't want to make problems any worse. So, I haven't pushed things hard at all. Low rpms, less than 5mph in reverse.

      Nuetral: Runs as expected
      Reverse: She seems to be driving fine at slow speeds. Going into reverse at idle is fine, coming out of reverse back into neutral won't work (the shifter is just stuck). As soon as I turn off the quad, I am able to shift around without any issue.
      Forward: It slips. It seems to only transfer power to the wheels on a smooth surface and going slightly downhill. When shifting into forward at idle, there is a clacking sounds during the transition. Shifting back to nuetral works just fine.

      Other Notable Symptoms: There was old oil in the vbelt and when I was tuning the carb, it starting blowing out of the CVT cooling vent at the front of the quad. Made quite a mess. There is positive crankcase pressure due to piston blowby, that I have not decided whether or not I am going to fix (customer budget dependant).  Since the oil was old, much darker than the new oil that is in the crankcase, I am thinking it seeped past a bad seal while it was sitting for years. The oil that was in it when I first got it had gas in it.

      Thoughts: I am thinking maybe there is an issue with the clutch. I worry about the old oil intermingling with the dry centrifugal clutch. I was thinking my next step would be to take the cover off of the clutch and inspect it.

      Let me know what you all think. Any advice and ideas is greatly appreciated. This is only the 3rd quad I have worked on and I have a lot to learn.

      Hi guys, I have a 2004 big bear 400. Last winter while plowing the driveway, I heard a loud pop from the left side of the engine. It continued to run as I looked for leaky fluid, but then died shortly after backing it up and won’t start now. The oil light comes on when I try to start it, no noise or anything else. 
      No blown fuses that I can find.
