I just started looking around at some different ATVs. So far the Griz 700, Kodiak 700 and the Brute force 750 has caught my attention. I would really appreciate it if anybody could give me some input on these 3. Maybe compare them for which is best for the price tag. Looks like the Brutes tend to be a tad cheaper. Would greatly appreciate any input. Thanks

are you looking for new or used atvs?

i prefer polaris but of the three you mentioned, i like the kodiak 700.  its the same as the grizzly but more compact and better for the trails ond more comfortable to ride.  the seat and handlebars are lower than the griz so its easier to mount and handle as your rounding tight bands on the trail.

the kicker is although the seat and handlebars are lower, you still get the same ground clearance and raw torque that the griz carries.

the reason the grizzlies still sell is cause they were the origanal beats with the grizzly 660 back in the day so everyone has heard about them.  id go with the kodiak

The brute force has a real problem with throwing valves into the piston on one of the cylinders.  Think it happens around 1200 hours maybe?  I forget, there's some common age where they ALL do it.  And it ruins the head, cylinder, valves, piston, etc.  It's a pretty tragic failure.

Other than the Bayou line, the only Kawasaki I see for sale are a few older King Quads, great machines BTW, and broken brute force 750s. The broken 750s you cant give away down here. 

Oddly though, the Kawasaki Teryx 1000 may be the best sport UTV on the market. Dependable and fast as a turbo razr.

      Quad to pull flail mower - Eiger, Kodiak, Big Bear ?
      By Fonne
      Hi 
      Is looking for a quad to pull a flail mower as my first priority, but also a bit of fun. 
      So its going to be pulling a flail mower on high grass / weed on a bumpy field at pretty low speed. 
      My budget is not high, so is mostly looking at a old Yamaha Kodiak 400cc / Suzuki Eiger 400cc or similar. 
      What machine would you recommend  ?  - Really want a solid machine since I am no mechanic but can perform a early service myself. 

      (English is not my native, hope it makes sense)

      NSFW / Looking for fun ideas for our 2nd Quad Runners event at our nudist campground
      By mehim
      Hi everyone and thanks for reading. 
      My husband and me are getting ready to host the 2nd Quad Runners event at our nudist campground. The first one (last year) went pretty well with about 20 quads attending and have to say, it was a smaller group, but they made up for their size with the large interest in partying and there was plenty of nudity as the Saturday night went on. 
      We have decided to host another one this summer, but we are looking for some fun (but safe) riding events. Our grounds are almost all flat and remember we are a nudist campground so many of us are bare as* naked so "slow ride" events would be the best. 
      Give us your thoughts and ideas and feel free to ask us anything you would like, and we will answer right here in the thread. 
      Thanks for your help and ride safe. 
      BTW, let us know what "anything goes" means for this thread section.

      Looking for Quadrunner Flywheel Starter Clutch Gear race diameter
      By logray
      Hi all, 

      I am wondering if any of you have a Clutch Starter gear from a 1988 era quadrunner 250 sitting around that you could get me a precise measurement of the outer diameter of the race the sprag engages onto, for me? I need to machine a damaged race down and install a hardened sleeve and need that measurement (it's on a different gear than the OEM one, so I can't buy and use a OEM gear).

      First time quad owner looking for advice!
      By Mikey509
      Hi guys, I was given a 2000 Honda Recon fourtrax 250 (I think that's the full name lol). The previous owner had it sitting for a while before I got it. It sat for another few years in my ownership. I got it up and going on its first test drive today!! I was wondering where everyone buys their parts from?  Coming from the car community, we have sites like RockAuto and many more. Anything like that for quads? Also would like to be pointed in a direction, if possible, for plastics. I am missing a few and would like to have it complete. I appreciate any input!
