Pavement

[TheDude]

Forgive me if it's been asked before.

I have an 01 foreman 400

Being that it is full time 4X4 I thought its prob not a good idea to cruise around in the pavement too much. Shonuff the owners manual says DON'T!

I know once and a while it's ok like tomload the atv in the truck etc. But once and a while I'll take the kids down the block and back in the afternoon. How bad is this ??? Your thoughts.

they say that for every quad. i had a quadrunner 500 that was all time 4x4 and never had any trouble with it. it does wear your tires down quicker though.

What Greenie said, it's just really hard on tires..

I ride on roads to get to the trails near my house. I just bought my trx a month or so ago and the factory tires are already crazy worn.

the quad tires are a soft rubber like a winter tire really. winter tires on a car don't last too long in the summer, but for the little bit you are driving your quad on the road, i wouldn't sweat it.

I wouldn't. Worry about it your fine. U turns on pavement is not highly recommended .

as long as you are running tires that are same size to keep gear ratio in front and rear matching the only problem you will have is short tire life

With full time 4WD it is similar to the back two tires being interconnected all of the time. When you turn the one wheel spins faster than the other so one tire has to spin on the pavement while the other one travels slower. You just have to be careful not to stress out the drive train with all time 4WD. The other tires spining faster will increase tire wear and be harder on the drive train but should not break anything. I plow in 4X4 on pavement all of the time.
