yup the idiot that suggested the 250ex be shaft driven over at honda should be beat to death.

they shouldve styled it after the 250r. they wouldve sold a whole lot more goin that route. but oh well. the 250ex is the most reliable quad i have ever seen.

yeah i mean i actually like it and the z250 for jus woods and mud riding. no chain adjusting!:yes:

my dad hated chain drives after my lil brother predator 90. it had a defect in the chain tensioner and it would brake off every freakin ride. and when it broke the chain came off. luckily it never cracked the case.but he has had a change of heart after my 400ex, we havent had 1 problem outta its rear end.

raptors are made for trails. and like bot said a couple mods like jets, exhaust, and airfilter it could tackle anything rele.

but back on the dirtcycle subject. me and daddio are goin out shoppin for one, after he wraps up work. so im pumped. gunna hit up a couple dealerships for their used inventory and jus cruise around lookin for "for sale" signs.

In stock form, I'm pretty sure every 450 can beat it in a drag. With those 3 mods it is practically untouchable. California emissions which all of them set their quads to, is very restrictive.

they set all the rappys to california emmsions? or what i didnt quite get that:confused:

When you buy a new ATV, let it be Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawi... They set the jetting to run at sea level and pass California emissions. The elevation here is 5280 above sea level. My quad was set to run at sea level. They don't set up certain quads for certain areas.

i can understand that, wow you must be happy you rejetted:yes:

i dont think bot has rejetted

You are right and wrong! I did rejet for the elevation change. The main jet is what I have changed. I usually run a 110 in the main and the rest is stock. I need to get my carb dialed in with a jet kit. Right now, I expel more exhaust than air I take in. It needs to balanced out.

      Does anyone have a copie of the owners/operators manual.the basic book that comes with the atv.i need the smaller one.i have the great big repair manual one.

      As the title says, I've got a crankcase full of fuel / oil to deal with and figure I'll just start from the top and move through the system.  Going to start with a rebuild of the petcock and then the carb if the problem isn't fixed with the petcock rebuild.  I figure I'll go with a Moose kit unless others with experience recommend another brand (All Balls, etc.)
      Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance.

      Hi all.  New to the forum & quads.  Seems like a great place full of info.
      I just recently picked up a 2005 Suzuki KingQuad LTA700.  I need a battery.  I've been reading up on conventional vs AGM types.  I have a Royal Distributing and Canadian Tire.  RD has 2 types avail for my year/Model a battery YTX16-BS CRANK $75, and BATTERY YTX20CH-BS YUASA $140.  Neither of these is the type from the manual FTZ16-BS.
      from what I can tell... I think the only difference is the capacity with the $75 unit rated at 14 AH/10HR and the $140 unit rated at 18 AH/10HR ... which is the rating in the manual for the FTZ16-BS.  How much does this make a difference for nearly x2 the cost?
      And about the models/type numbers.... what is important to know ... they all end in "-BS" but are the other details relevant or just manufacturer naming?

      I just bought a 1984 Suzuki LT185 ATV and am looking for the OWNER’S manual. ( not a service manual) 
      I contacted Suzuki Canada but they have no paper or digital copies in their archives. 
      Does anyone possibly have a digital copy they’d be willing to share?
