Heres the pics I hope I get to ride some today! The DRZ 125 is my daughters bike & the quad is my LTZ400.

The 07 Suzuki LTZ400 is in my garage. I think I got a pretty good deal. I will get pics of it posted Thursday I only rode it for about 15 mins. this evening we have been on the go all day. Its not a bad looking quad I got a few extras with it 2 sets of wheels & tires , motor oil, new helmet misc. gaskets, bearings, seals & a new timing chain. Its going to take a little time to adjust to how it handles from the utility quads.

I sold the Prairie 650 about 2 weeks ago and got my daughter a Suzuki drz 125 bike. Now I sold the 06 Foreman & now Im going to look at a Suzuki LTZ400 07 model later this morning. Its time for a change.

OX I added a 2006 Suzuki DR-Z 125L to the family today. Now we have the Foreman 500 & the Suzuki its the first time I have ever owned a Suzuki. I can still ride like you said Ill just miss the power of the 650 v-twin.

Thanks OX for the kind words! I went to look at a Yamaha today and the guy tried to feed me the biggest bs I think I have heard. Heres the laugh lines the front wheel wobbled it could be the spokes needing adjustment was my thought but he said it only wobbled on pavement and not on dirt. He said it was setup for a big bore kit and I was looking at the motor playing dumb and he said you cant see it because the parts are inside the motor and I would just have to buy the piston & rings to make it a 150cc from 125cc. So his lie was he had more or less a 150cc jug with a 125 piston & rings. The oil was filled to the tip top of the oil fill hole if you tried to add a tea spoon it would run over I didn't even ask to see what the story would be. I held back from what I wanted to say and was P Oed to drive an hour 1 way. But in the end I cracked up thinking about the bs he told.

My back got the best of me so I had not been riding much. A guy ask what I would take for my Prairie & I must have hit my head and low balled myself. He never jump at buying it before when he would ask so I thought he was joking. I Said 1200 he pulled out 1125 now I don't have a quad. My wife tried to make me feel good by saying you gave 1600 5yrs. ago and put a lot of miles on it. I can still ride my daughters foreman 500 and she wants a dirt bike so I am checking into a Yamaha ttr 125 or a Suzuki dr-z 125 for her.

02 Kawasaki 650 prairie dry weight is 604

Well got out for another ride but I cant get the gopro to link to my new computer for the video. Non video action was my wifes donut rollover the quad thank God stayed on its side and didn't roolover on top of her.

Good afternoon QC

It was fun! We don't see snow too often it makes for easy donuts! but not good for doing wheelies

We got our first snow fall so my daughter & I took the quads out for some fun. Its the first time its snowed since owning atvs.

Good morning QC members!

Good morning QC

You cant go wrong with what the manufacture recommends.

A two up would be safer to ride double. I have heard good and bad on the Polaris quads. A friend of mine works in sales at our local dealer he said he will never buy another Polaris. He got a new Gizz after his new Polaris 850 front diff broke. The Grizz is nice I have rode them their smooth and the quad feels nice in the saddle. I think Kawasaki BF 750 may sit a little lower. My daughters foreman 500 seems to have a little taller seat height than my 02 prairie. I think Kawai, Yamaha & Honda need to build a 2 up. There is also CF Moto I have read about and they have a 2 up. By the reviews I have read you need power steering for sure with the 2 up quads. Having been on the Grizz 700 & kawai BF 750 the Grizz felt taller and higher off the ground. The BF was still a good fit for me and felt more planted on the ground with a lower COG when riding with plenty of power as far as riding. With the Yamaha I felt like I needed to take the corners slower. Either one I would be happy to own but in the end for myself I would go with the BF 750 for the more performance feel & power and it still has a smooth ride but not as smooth as the Grizz. No quad is cheap to fix but I think Can-Am might be at the top of the list. By what my friend said if the battery dies you have to take it to the shop because the key has a security code. I am not sure if that's true or not but he said they cost to own. He is the same friend that works for the dealer. He has been dealing with quads along time. Just look at them all and read all you can and check out the reviews Dirt trax on you tube has some good video reviews. AC is one that you don't see to many dealerships for here in GA. we had one but they closed down the reviews are not as good as the other big name brands.

I agree with ox go to a dealer fit your self to the quad! See what feels good. I am 6ft and have a 650 Kawasaki I bought my daughter a Foreman 500 now I fit on both very well so when were on the trails riding and she wants to swap Im not stuck riding her old e-ton 90cc.

Well I have the old Prairie going again the new cvt belt is installed. What a difference going down hill in 4wd it creeps along no slipping on take off now or climbing hills.

Good morning QC

My daughter got a scare her and her friend were riding and the cvt belt went on my prairie and it went into limp mode and shot flames out the pipe when it backfired and you could smell the belt where it got hot. I went to pull her home and she thought the quad was going to blow up with her setting on it.

Good morning QC & good night going to bad at 1am.

Im going to check it out today. One thing I read on the superwinch installation is the hot wire coming from the toggle switch needs to be hooked to a power source that's only hot when the key on. I don't know if the winch has ever been used it looks new and the snatch block the the superwinch strap for the hook were all in the packages unopened & in the storage compartment on the quad.

Update I printed off the installation page from superwinch and its wired right. It has a circuit breaker in between the battery and solenoid on the +side, ground from solenoid to - battery and then hot & neg to winch, 2 wires from solenoid too rocker switch & rocker switch has hot too ignition switch. Ive not tried the winch to see if it works I need to do that as well.

When I bought my daughters 06 Foreman the winch cables were not connected to the battery. I connected the cables and everything seemed good we didn't use the winch but she went to start the quad and it just clicked did the same for me. I disconnected the + winch cable from the battery and it turned right over and did so for the rest of the day. I did hook my battery tender up over night after we got done riding. The winch is a 2000lb. super winch I have no manual on the winch. My ? is will a winch drain the battery when its not being used. I wouldn't think it would But I don't know whats going on. Since the winch cables were not connected to the battery when we got it I think there is something with the winch drawing power somehow and that's why it wasn't connected.

Welcome!

Good morning all!
