Any onfo on Magnum 425 4 stroke

I am looking at a 96 Magnum 425 4x4 4 stroke, and was wondering if anyone had any opinions on the 425 motor, as I do not know much about them.
Any Advice, opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hey FTWFLH thanks for the reply, one question:

How does the Magnum 425 compare to your Sportsman 400? My dad has the same 400 Sprtsman that you have, and it is the best quad I have ever used, it wins at the mud boggs and ATV pulls every year. Just wondering how the two compare...I know that one is a 2 stroke so they are completely different, just shoot me straight either way.

Thanks

The 400 has more hot power when the pipe kicks in and is a blast on trails but the 425 is a better all around machine lots of torque and power all the way through . They both ride and handle about the same. If you dont mind the 3 chains you will like the 425.I have had mine since 98 and other than hub probblems (my fault) the only thing I have had to do other than normal stuff like fluids and adjusting the valves is I had to replace the waterpump seal once.
