hey i was just wondering how u guys felt about the new quads with the automatic trannsmissions
i personally dont like them at all i like the old fasion clutch
what do u think?

 

I like both If i ride my automatic for a while it's nice to ride a manual for a change and vice-versa. When I'm just cruising along i really appreciate the automatic and then theres other times that i wish i could shift. It just comes down to personal opinion

 

I dont like that auto tranny idea at all i feel limited to the things i can do .... thats just me
But overall i prefer the manual clutch i feel like i have full control of the quad and its power.

 

I personally dont like the autos, but i can see a use for them, there are ppl who either dont want to bother with a clutch or dont know how to use one well but still want a competitive bike. I do see a possible problem with the idea though, since it takes a certain amount of skill to ride a manny, and much less skill to ride an auto, its very possible that we will have more accidents because ppl who couldnt handle a manual before on the big bikes just plain wouldnt ride them, but with the new big bore sport quads coming out with autos, like the KFX700, people will get a powerful bike but they might not necessarily be able to handle the performance of it and get themselves into trouble.
