i want you guys(AND GIRLS) to help me make a decision on whether i should sell my 04 predator 500 and buy my uncles 03 ltz 400 (mint condition). my pred has given me a few problems such as getting engine oil into the air box and filter, the ignition takes any key since the original owner flipped it, the front tire is also bent and its a very heavy bike for me(im 14 years old and 115 lbs.) i want the 400 because its lighter so i can learn to do wheelies, has reverse, and i trust suzuki more. tell me what you think!:GEEK:

I am a Polaris guy, but as a rider you need equipment that you are comfortable with. If the Suzi is gonna be more dependable, no one wants to break down, and a more comfortable bike for you then I would say go for it.

As far as the wheelies or any other tricks, they all take practice and commitment. Your body your mind and your quad all have to be in top shape and you need to wear proper safety gear. Start out small and work your way up. Somedays are better than others and dont push it. Remember every trick you do could be the last trick you do.

Stay safe

I'd go with whatever machine is in the best shape, from the sound of it, that would be your uncle's LTZ. I also think Suzuki makes a better machine. I am going to move this thread into the general ATV discussion forum becuase it is not just Polaris related.

      2009 Honda Rancher TRX420FA with shifting problems
      By Cj Winds
      I have a 2009 Honda Rancher TRX420FA with shifting problems.
      Usually it shifts ok when cold but after couple minutes it will stop shifting with no codes.
      The 1st shift clutch oil pressure when in first gear is 74psi. The 2nd shift clutch oil pressure when in second gear is 74psi.
      The 1st shift clutch oil pressure when in neutral is zero. The problem is when the tranny is in neutral the 2nd shift clutch pressure starts around 10-15psi and builds to 20psi. Is this normal?

      oil for air filter?
      By Mikey509
      Hi everyone, first and foremost, I want to thank everyone for all the help I've received. I am so glad I found this community. I also wanna apologize if I'm spamming the forum, I come up with questions as I go, I guess lol. So when I got my Recon, the air box was missing the lid, held together by zip ties, and the filter was ripped and nasty. I have since ordered a new air box assembly. It comes with everything: the box,  lid, and filter ( the insert and the foam), and all the hardware necessary. This is the first time I've seen a metal filter inside a foam filter lol. However, my question is, I have read that you have to oil these filters? Every time I read it, it was always skimmed over, and I could not remember where I had read it. Is there a certain oil needed for this? Is the filter washable and reusable? Do I just stick the filter in oil, lol? Sorry if it sounds like a dumb question. Thanks in advance, y'all!

      Need Help with My 2021 Polaris Sportsman – Engine Stalling Issue
      By digrig
      Hey everyone,
      I’m having an issue with my 2021 Polaris Sportsman 570 – the engine keeps stalling after running for about 10–15 minutes. I’ve checked the air filter, spark plug, and fuel lines, but can’t seem to find the root of the problem. It starts up just fine, but then loses power suddenly.
      Has anyone experienced a similar issue with this model/year? Would appreciate any advice or troubleshooting tips you’ve tried that worked. Thanks in advance for your help!

      Choke problems 2000 Suzuki quadrunner 500
      By Jason39
      I’m having a issue with my choke when its on it runs fine when I cut the choke off the atv cuts off went to take the carburetor off and saw the choke plunger broke at the nut to screw it in could this be my issue? Do I just need to buy a plunger kit and put it on? I took the carburetor off and cleaned both jets anyway just to make sure and it’s still having issues staying on
