Thanks bro Best way to wash the quads!

Im new to ATVs. Rode buddies before but thats it. My first is an 89 Yamaha Big Bear 350. A full time 4x4 utility with an auto clutch. I guess it depends on your riding. I love having a utility around the house. I do want more of a sports to jump over stuff when the mood arises, selectable 2/4wd would be nice. My neighbor has a newer suzuki 4x4. He rides butt on the seat on rocky terrain I need to squat for because I have a solid rear. For a first quad I dont need more than a 350. I get over anything. 5up speeds, I top out a lot slower being full time 4x4, but I dont care about top speed but rarely when Im going down a road a bit to get to another trail. Its an old quad, which suits my style, cheap, easy to work on. Unfortunately not a huge aftermarket for parts. I can still get OEM replacement parts though. Kinda pricey. Might be biased since Im a mechanic, but the best first ATV is an older model with a good aftermarket and upgradable parts that fit from a newer model. (like switching to front disc brakes)

That's our feeling, but the Can am fit us best for our riding style. When asked, I tell folks to select the machine by riding one. It' the only way to really know. What is right for me, is not right for another usually.

My can am dealer also carries Yamaha and kymco. He feels the kymco is ok as a lesser expensive unit. My wife and I were fortunate to attend a VIP event in Wisconsin last year. We tested almost every major players units in trail conditions as opposed to a small grassy area at the dealership. We opted for can ams and are very happy.

i know alot of guys that have gotten e-ton 50s and 90s for their kids and have been great machines for them

The first thing for me if I was a new rider would be to figure out if I want a sport quad or a utility. I started with a Yamaha Warrior (sport quad) years ago and since then have moved over to a utility because I like 4WD and the power of pulling and getting getting over stuff! I think Yamaha, Kawasaki, Arctic Cat, and Suzuki are all great and along the same lines where Honda, Polaris, CanAm differentiate themselves a bit more. All quality machines and will last as long as you take care of them. Kymco and Chinese brands I'm not familiar with but am looking at maybe getting one for my 5 year old daughter to toy around with..

Well, since no one else is chiming in. Ox, what do you think about the Kymco quads? They have really been coming on, and of the Chinese quads, they are the best I think. I have ridden a friends GNCC quad, and I have to say its pretty a pretty good bike! They are also the ones building some of the 250cc quads for major manufacturers, I am not perfectly sure, but I think the Artic Cat, and Can-am 250's are based off of the Kymco Mongoose.

My top 2 picks if i was to buy new today would be either a Honda or Yamaha. Owned and rode both and find them to be great machines. Honda are a little more money than Yamaha, but equally as good IMHO. Yamaha seems to deliver more bang for the dollar. Any of the major brands now are good machines and i would persuade everyone to stay away from the Chinese ATVs. Again, JMHO ...

here you go ...
