You ain't kidding, makes working outside tough!

Welcome to QUADCRAZY everyone!

@06kfx440 How's it looking now?

Good Morning ATV'ers!!!

Welcome to quadcrazy everyone, you'll like it here!

Looked at https://atv.polaris.com/en-us/sportsman-570/ and it looks nice. I was never a fan of the plastic racks, but I guess they are ok. I would look at the 2019 king quad also.

Yeah it's well worth it and if you look around you can find a used one.

I think like @mikeexplorer said, you can get a 400-500 cc atv within your price range. 700 cc will be tough and you'll have to go used. Looks like you are in NY so check out this topic:

I think a lot of non-trumpers feel the same way as @davefrombc where they can't believe there was no collusion. 

I've been watching a few of the news channels this evening and its amazing to see democrats grasping at straws. Its like a not winning the lottery and trying to find a reason why the lotto machine may have given you the wrong numbers. I think the more they do this and act like this, the worse it'll be for them in future elections. They should just move on and focus on a real agenda for this country.

I wonder what the cost of this investigation was ? Tax payers prob paid upward of 2 million for this 

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/12/14/mueller-investigation-cost-25-million-in-first-16-months-report.html

$25 Million in only the first 16 months. Has to be upwards of $40 million if not more. What a joke.

Its amazing to me that we havent seem the Mueller report yet today but dems like adam schiff basically say "whatever" even if no collusion, we are still going to investigate more. If nothing is found, enough already. If something is found then say something and have the president face it. But networks like cnn and msnbc are already moving along to other investigation. How pathetic..it really is. 

Here you go dems...from CNN just now!

I would imagine any warm climate would do...the more south the better. Get off the grid!!!

Here's a deal but the person never replied. Think its fake? https://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/snw/d/port-chester-atv-four-wheeler-only-has/6843827043.html

Saw this online..thought it was funny...

Usually if its brand new, it may feel a little stiff. Standing on the foot pegs/floor, can you shake the atv side to side? Looking at the ice you have there I suppose you could have frozen/stiff shock, what's the temp? I don't know much about these but some do come with shock adjustments.

I've used them all in the past, but always end up back at ubuntu. It's just so easy, the latest version is no big deal to get, it'll run decent on even the most crusty machine, it's wonderful. Right now I'm on one of those really cheap throwaway computers that doesn't even have a hard drive, just 30gb soldered to the board. It wasn't capable of upgrading to the new release of windows ten, and was painfully slow anyway, but a fresh install of the latest ubuntu takes only 8gb and leaves me with a nice running, simple cheap laptop. If you don't do anything unique you don't have to do anything beyond what comes with it, there is loads of specific software for those that want it, mostly free, if you don't mind a small learning curve, give it a try.

I may try this when I have time.

firefox comes with ubuntu and leaves nothing to be desired.

Do you have a machine you are running Ubuntu on? Do you not use windows, mac or other system? Just curious, always thought of loading it on an old pc but never did.

As far as this thread, I mostly use Chrome on my desktop, laptop, tablet and iphone.

I'm going to revive a really old thread here. I was searching the forum and wanted to ask this of the community....do you have insurance on your ATV and if so what company are you using? Allstate, Progressive, etc., and about how much per year?

I like all the older honda, yamaha, suzuki and kawasaki quads. If you take care of them, they last. I agree with @davefrombc that the older Polaris atvs had their fair share of issues so I stayed away.

Does anyone know anything about CFMoto?

I have a Yamaha YFM225 which sounds really noisy exhaust wise.  It had no baffle so I bought and installed that but it seemed to make no difference.  There are no leaks from the manifold or exhaust but the damm thing just sounds  so loud !

If there are no leaks, its got to be the muffler. Is that an aftermarket muffler?

Is that king quad 300 an older one with the shift levers? I would do what you mentioned and just check it all out. If they have it in low gear, it'll be slower and its not really the fastest quad out there if I remember correctly. But a great workhorse and sites lower.

That's a nice ride, but too expensive for me!

The ATV market gets more & more convoluted every year.

It's getting where I can't keep up with who makes what any more.

Thats a good point. Looks like these will be reskinned textron machines.

Cool video. Did you ever put it in diff lock?
