I came across this site that has some cool pics and rims for quads.

MotoSport Alloys

Here is a pic:

LOL, looks fun!

I still think that January will come in strong with some cold weather and snow!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome! what kind of quad are you looking to buy?

Looks like we're the only ones celebrating.....LOL

Merry Christmas!

Anyone else from the North East, specifically New York? man no snow at all...forget about a white Christmas...LOL By this time last year we had at least one snowfall already. It's a warm winter I guess, those plow guys aren't making any money...

I'm an hour north of New York City, with the exception of the Great Lakes area having the lake effect snow, the rest of New York I think is going to start growing grass on their lawns again....

Anyone celebrating a white Christmas?

That's pretty sweeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!

Anyone into this? I read about it in a magazine and did some searching.. I guess this is an up and coming sport for atvers...check out some of these pics:

Cool, I'm on there 2!

LOL...I did. I can't find a pic.....but it looks like this:

Did you find the fix for this? Any luck?

She should mod this because I don't think any guys want to....there's no action in here....

I think I posted this somewhere already...but mine sleeps in a Car Port along side 3 other friends quads.

Very Nice. I like the site.

Anyone using a plow? What Brand? And are you using a winch or handle? Any reccomendations? I see a bunch out there... Warn, Moose, Cycle Country...

Here's a Swisher plow I seen online:

Who makes those tire? Is there a site I an check them out on? I'm not up on the latest tires out there. Have to look around. If you know a site or brand I can search in Google or something, let me know. I tried Googling "mudhorns 6 ply" Like 3 entries came up and it didn't look like tires. Thanks!

Just curious, what ply tire to use and what you would recommend for aggressive trail riding. To many plugs in my side walls! What do you guys use, and what is your favorite tire?

I have to mention this place because I feel the deals are exceptional. I bought my 04 Yamaha Kodiak 450 and my 05 Suzuki King Quad from this place. It's located outside of Albany, NY in Troy. It was worth the ride for me and I also had 3 friends buy up there after they saw the deal I got. the prices are exceptional which you can see on there site. And it's legit. They also send me holiday cards in the mail with specials. All the atvs are ready right away, all prepping done. If you are in the market for a bigger machine, you can save anywhere from 700-1200 up there. Both my quads I saved 1000 bucks. they beat up every dealership around me.

Example they have now:

Troy City Garage has my vote for place to buy!

I am reading the latest ATV Magazine issue and they have a section all on Utilitys. I looking it over and seeing some manufacturer changes I wasn't aware of. Like Yamaha has different versions now of its Grizzly - 80, 125, 350, 400, 450, 660, 700 ? What happened to the Bruin, the Kodiak 400 and 450? Suzuki has a King Quad 450 and 700...

Yamaha page with all those Grizzlys...http://www.yamaha-motor.com/outdoor/products/lifestylehome/home.aspx

I may have to go with that new 700 FI, Power steering... I used to have a Yamaha Kodiak 450 before my King Quad, that's what made me notice this. Also see these Kymco's getting into the picture..

That sh** is histerical!!!!!!!!!! Sending it to some people. Too funny! Cracked me up!

Nice, I like it!

I didn't know they have a baby brother of the Rhino 660!

Fuel injection means instantaneous cold starts and optimal performance in all conditions and all altitudes.

Industry-exclusive: Electric Power Steering (EPS) system lightens steering and helps ease feedback, for superior comfort and terrainability.

Industry-exclusive: fully automatic Ultramatic® transmission is the most advanced drive system in ATVing. An automatic centrifugal clutch maintains constant belt tension for reduced belt wear and industry-exclusive all-wheel downhill engine braking.

Industry-exclusive: three-position On-Command® In/Out 4WD feature lets you switch between 2WD, limited-slip 4WD and fully locked differential 4WD— all with the simple push of a button.

Fully independent long-travel four-wheel suspension features double wishbone suspension front and rear with five-way preload-adjustable shocks for maximum control and comfort over rough terrain. Smoothest-running and riding Grizzly ever.

Trick digital instrument panel boasts a multifunction LCD display with speedometer, odometer, dual tripmeters, hour meter, 4WD status, transmission position, clock and fuel gauge.

Engine:

New, Raptor-based four-valve combustion chamber design produces a potent combination of low-rev torque, right-now throttle response and high horsepower.

Compact engine design features a 35-degree cylinder angle for ground clearance and lower seat height for quick steering and maneuverability.

Fuel injection provides a perfect fuel/air mixture regardless of temperature or altitude, and makes cold starts a snap.

Gear-driven crankshaft balancer shaft and new-design rubber-damper engine mounts reduce vibration.

Ceramic-composite cylinder liners provide outstanding durability and heat dissipation; forged piston is light and strong and rides a carburized, chrome-moly connecting rod.

Two-lobe overhead cam and a pair of needle-roller rocker arms reduce friction by 50 percent for increased fuel efficiency and torque.

Mikuni fuel injection with 44mm bore and throttle position sensor means easy cold starts and flawless fuel delivery in nearly any conditions.

Pushbutton electric starting with seven-disk torque-limiting damper assembly to protect the starter motor.

Straight driveshaft layout eliminates U-joints for reduced friction, vibration and maintenance.

Stainless steel exhaust system features aluminum heat shields and a screen-type spark arrestor for great power with minimum noise output.

High-capacity aluminum radiator with fan-assist delivers maximum cooling efficiency and is positioned high in the frame for optimal protection.

Automatic cam chain tensioner reduces engine maintenance and helps extend engine life.

Five-position shift lever with H, L, N, R and P gates for positive Ultramatic trans operation.

Override button allows engine to make maximum RPM in full Diff Lock mode.

Electronic servo-activated 2WD/4WD/Diff Lock via the On-Command system.

Sealed drive case keeps out water and debris to help prevent belt from slipping.

Chassis/Suspension:

All-new chassis provides fantastic comfort along with outstanding handling and maneuverability.

New, lay-down style front suspension A-arms provide outstanding ground clearance.

Five-way preload adjustable shocks provide a controlled, comfortable ride whatever the load or trail conditions.

Four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes serve up consistent, long-lasting braking power under all sorts of nasty conditions.

Electronic power steering varies assist according to speed and RPM for increased comfort and incredible maneuverability—even in 4WD.

5.3-gallon fuel tank is located under the seat for excellent mass centralization and handling; there’s a 4.8-liter waterproof storage compartment under there too.

11.8 inches of ground clearance and full-length composite skid plate deliver maximum underbelly protection while enhancing terrainability.

New 25x8-12 front and 25x10-12 rear Dunlop tires provide responsive steering and handling and excellent comfort.

Rugged injection-molded front bumper and CV joint guards protect against rock and debris damage.

Additional Features:

New-design LCD instrument display contains fuel injection and electronic power steering information as well as bar-type fuel gauge, odometer, tripmeter, clock and Diff Lock indicator.

An analog speedometer shows your velocity at a glance.

Rugged steel cargo racks with special, extra-durable wrinkle paint finish can pack a total of 286 pounds combined (99 front, 187 rear).

Center-mounted, heavy-duty trailer hitch comes standard and can tow over 1200 pounds.
