Hey guys, my family is looking into getting a RZR for trail riding. They have gates in most trails that wont let anything past 50 inches go through, so we have to stick with the RZR and no other UTVS. How do you guys like it? We are hopefully getting one within the month. I know it doesn't have front differentials, what else should we know? What do you like? What do you not like?

That model in AJM's pics is the RZR S. It is 60" wide with long travel. That won't work for you. The standard RZR is a very capable machine. It has a low center of gravity to help with it's narrow stance. IT WILL ROLL IN A HEART BEAT. The only negatives I can think of is the bed is only 4" deerp which means using it for a cooler or other gear is out of the question for the most part. And since it is on a quad chassis the driver and the passenger are very close to each other. Put 2 big guys in there and you wind up with "Broke Back Side by Side".

Haha ya i saw that broke back picture, and Ya i'm looking at a normal 2008 RZR not the RZR S because its too wide. We would probably end up buying some sort of box to put in the bed which gets strapped down. Any first hand experience?

all around great utv very fast has the polaris name to back it up.. A LOT OF MODIFICATIONS u can do to it just incase u want after a month or two of having it... the front has the diffs its just not locking diffs which really isnt that big of a problem since ur using it for trails... def not a utv for work by any means just for fun.... their really fast even though they are much lower compared to the other utvs watch ur throttle and the turns or ur going over like bot said in a earlier post... o and if i didnt say this THERE FAST

      By PvtTarget
      Will not go into 1st but if ya go past will go into maybe next gear. Will not shift into reverse. I have see others say that the shift cam assembly dowel worn or fall out. How do I get to this? Do I need to break case in half?

      Honda 4514 Riding Lawnmower
      By Gwbarm
      Just aquired this Honda 4514. I had heard of them and seen them but had never really looked at one. Amazing machine from the 90s.
      It has a 14 HP inline 2 cylinder engine. A cute little fan like the old school cars had and a little radiator. It has a timing belt on the back of the engine running the cam and a water pump. Just like a miniature car engine with  electronic clutches to turn blades on and off. Pretty hight tech for the 90s not a small thing and built like a tank weighs in at 600 pds hydrostatic trans. I have found out that almost anything you have to do to it the engine has to come out starter timing belt water pump. Very expensive parts i think most got junked for that reason, i did find out they were built by John Deere except for the honda engine.
      Does anyone here have any expierience with these.

      Need Help Please Guys
      By QuadDad22
      Picked up a 86’ LT 185 for $10 in trade value(my items only cost me $10) 
      recoil only , I pull the recoil and it won’t move , so I took it off , I can spin the crank there one full turn left then it locks up , and one full turn back to the right and it locks up
      pulled the plug , the piston is moving up n down , both valves are moving(pulled the caps) 
      pulled the clutch off , oil pump gear , and it still locks up after one turn

      How did you get into Quads?
      By Mikey69
      Heres my story. Kinda long. I guess I was a late bloomer when it comes to quads. I had never ridden a quad in my life. Rode Dirt Bikes as a kid growing up. Back in Oct of '06 I found a Mustang on craigslist. Took it for a test drive one morning before work. Fast car. 351 Cleveland. I had planned on meeting the guy again after work. For some strange reason thats still to this day beyond me, I stopped in Hillsboro MotoSports on the way home from work. I had 6 Grand on me. There was a left over '05 sitting by the front door. It was on sale for $4999. It was $5499 OTD. I didnt even look at anything else. I knew nothing about quads accept I thought it really looked coool and I had the money in my pocket to buy it. I was sitting on it when the salesman walked up and asked... "Can I help you?" Without hestitation I pulled 60 Ben Franklins outta my front pocket and said "I want this Quad. Load it up in my truck." It was just about dark by the time I drove away from the shop. BTW, I didnt bother to ask my ol lady if I could buy it. LOL. Anyway, I took it by the house and showed her. She was kinda stunned but not mad. We drove over to a friend of mines house and unloaded it. I took it to the field across the street from his house. HOLY CHIT!!!!! I was surprised by the power. I had it for about 2 weeks and took it to Sand Lake. I was there a few hours and rolled it on a banked turn at the top of the bowl right before you get to the one-ways. When it rolled, I flew off and landed on my belly. The quad came bouncing and landed on my back. For a month I couldnt even walk. I was scared of it. I considered trading it for a 250EX. Went back to the shop. The salesman said..."Dude!!! You dont want a 250EX!!! Trust me. Just get used to it" I still wasnt convinced. I put it on craigslist for $4000. Calls were coming in. I had a guy that wanted to come look at it that evening. I decided to take it for one last ride at Browns Camp before I sold it. I was still afraid of it. After about 5 minutes I started feeling comfortable on it again. I decided right then, I loved my Honda 450 and would learn how to ride it instead of selling it. That was late Nov of '06. Work was slow for a Painter in Oregon. My new job everyday? Going to Browns Camp and ridding my Quad. I bought my Girl Friend an '02 Blaster. I rode my 450 for 4-6 hours almost every single day for 3 months. And yes, I know my way around Browns Camp pretty well. LOL. In March I bought her an '06 TRX250EX (Thank God I didnt trade my 450 for one of those) LOL Since then, I have become totally addicted to quads. I love them. Couldnt imagine not owning at least one quad. Luckily I have two. My "07 was $6500 OTD in July of '07. Bought it for my Girlfriend. Traded in her 250 EX. A month later we broke up. So, I wound up with two Honda 450's.
