Hi,
I am recently new to quads and want to learn about the basics and know what i need in case i buy one this coming winter, i am currently looking at quadzillas due to them being available where i live and when looking a better choice than a yamaha raptor as i have a couple friends who rebuilt the engines on them 2 or even 3 times and always had somekind of problem.
What do i need to look for when buying a quadzilla engine wise and what do i need to check before purchasing one. I heard the quadzillas are reliable and are not a bad quad overall and they do not look bad either.
Also what are typical problems with the engine and what do i need to regularly check / maintain to ensure i can ride with peace and not need to worry about anything breaking, how much do they also last in terms of miles and ride time ( i know this depends on the use, i will mostly be doing off road and some street use so around the 40-60 mark if they reach that )
And to service / maintain them what do i need before hand, what oil, what sparkplugs and anything else such as coolant for summer / winter use.
And if there is any aftermarket parts / components that i can invest in please let me know to explore my options.
Thank you very much and i appreciate the help which i may get and hope to get into the quad scene soon!

So I have rebuilt two top end's now and going through the process of a third. I'm confused about how high the compression should be on these atv engines, and if low compression, what should be replaced or checked and how? And as far as smoking, how to tell what is the issue there as well. The first rebuild i did was on a kawasaki 300 and it turned out ok... I realize that I adjusted the valve clearance on the exhaust stroke rather than the compression stroke which caused a tick. nut the thing that got me was one both rebuilds, the compession reading didnt really change that much. I've heard that engines should have over 100psi compression, yet have never seen 100psi reached on my tester by any engine.
this thread is open to any top end questions btw.

Im a student of a university were are engineering a utv, we are going to redisign a standard transmission from a quad or a utv and implement it into the design. The overall weight will be around 300-400lbs run by a 300cc b&s.
my main concern is what utv or atv would be best to steal the guts from transmission suited to withhold the weight and geared right. any suggestion would be great except cvt not what we want thanks

Just got my first ATV, a '11 700 Grizz and planning on doing some trail riding soon. First piece of equipment I'm adding is a winch and I'm needing some suggestions for something that would be good for my kind of riding but comes at a decent price. Usually I try to get quality stuff (Warn) but since I'm needing to conserve denero right now I figure this winch is something that (at least for me) doesn't have to be crazy great/expensive. Although I'd still like to get something that's decent quality and can pull well, in my middle age I hardly think I'll be voluntarily launching into any terrain that has the potential to get me too stuck...thus I doubt I'll be using the winch that often.
Anybody have a suggestion for a model that's decent quality for around say $300 bucks? Doesn't have to be built to be used time after time but quality does still count.
Thanks
