Good day!  Looking to learn about buying a new ATV.  Very green here, but understanding the technical bits.

It will be primarily for garden work and hauling stuff around a rural property.  Want capability for trails, but not the primary use.  I see Honda has solid axle, CanAm independent rear.  Want this thing to last, can do some repairs myself.  Dealers for both close to me.  Are both ATVs close in capability?  Does one shine above the rest?  

 

Thanks in advance!

... as I reflect on this I'm seeing power steering as a must and that puts a huge price gap between new Can Am and Hondas.

...  can Honda really compete for the price difference?  (Over $1000)!

      Good aftermarket carburetor
      By kawasig
      Hello there
      I'm having a problem finding a quality carburetor for a 1993 Suzuki Quad Runner lt-f 250 2x4. I find a lot that have 3-4 star ratings. And all so far don't have the right throttle Cable inlet at the top. The last one I got 4 star on Amazon has a threaded cable sheath rest that could be partially drilled to work. I would prefer to get one I don't have to modify. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!

      Do You Use GPS For ATV Trails?
      By Admin
      Does anyone use GPS, whether on a device or app to record their ATV trail rides? I have been thinking about a section where our members can upload let's say a .gpx file and share their rides on a google map for others to see where there are riding areas. Not sure if this is something of interest or how much it would be used, so just trying to get an idea.
      Importing routes from files like xml, lmx, tour, freshroute, gpx, kmz, kml

      ATV Plows? Good or Bad?
      By TravisCr
      A year or so back bought a used 2003 Polaris Sportsman 700 Twin with a plow for keeping the gravel road around the house snow free-
      I've used it for the last year and it works well- have a bit of water in the oil I started a separate thread on.

      Are there any "gotcha" on using these things with plows?
      I took off the small polaris winch and added a Warn 2500, with synthentic rope so I wasn't getting poked by the wire-
      Looking for folks thoughts on these.

      2006 LT-F400F stator/generator cover change: What is the best way to check that all is good with the transfer operation before reassembling?
      By middlebrookgt
      I have replaced the cracked stator cover on my non-running 2006 LT-F400F that I purchased recently, checked all the shafts vs the service manual and pics and advice here.  I replaced missing gears, bushings and washers, made sure that truth marks were all aligned properly, that the shift cam springs felt like they returned properly, etc.  IAfter installing the new stator cover I checked the transfer lever for proper movement from L-H-R and then cranked it up.  Happily, it runs and changes gears well in L,  but it will not shift into H or R for anything.  I have opened it back up and am going back through it looking for the missing puzzle piece(s) but how can I best check that I have everything right this time before buttoning it back up?
