quadcrazy family decision on polaris predator

[predrider305]

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!

I would if it is in mint condition like you say. What are the selling prices?

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

the selling prices are both around the same. Around $2700 to $3000 where i live. i just got offered an 03 ltz 400 fully customuzed by team suzuki so i might get that.

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.

Sounds like your uncle's machine is the way to go. Post some pics!

just got a kfx 400 instead because my uncle has the z400 with him in carolina. my kfx has a slip on yoshimura pipe, houser swingarm and a-arms, GForce axle, lowering kit, maxxis razrs, dyno jet kit, nerf bars, and a big gun rev box.
