Is the Bruin a good utility quad for mud and water. And for any Bruin owners what are some of the common problems if any with a Bruin

 

i dont own a bruin but i have a kodiak and the bruin is just a little smaller version of the kodiak.to answer your ? the bruin is good in the mud and water but the belts on the bruins are not made as well as the kodiaks.the bruin is a good choice.

 

The 350 Bruin is a good utility but isn't much to write home about in mud & water compared to my quads. It has a lot of torque but NO real power above the very bottom.

 

The Bruin is a reliable bike Im sure and has a really good price tag but the tranny has no LowRange. I dont see that as being a good thing if you plan on putting big tires on it and getting in the sticky stuff

 

The Bruin is OK..The Kawi 360 is in the same price range and has a lot more to offer thyen the Bruin. I am sure the Bruin would serve you well...but why not go for the additional features that the Kawi has at approx. the same price.

ill second the 360.

if you want an explanation why. Then just ask. ill be happy to answer.

 

I agree as well. You get variable front diff lock, sealed rear breaks vs drum, speedo (in canada) Fuel guage. Having said this Yamaha makes good bikes, but the Kawi has more features.

 

it seems that a few posts from this thread were deleted. I was just curious why?

 

IMO I think that everyone interested in a 350 should really talk a look at a wolverine and test drive it.
