Any suggestions on if I should get a 90cc or 110cc for my 10 & 9 year boys? I'm thinking on the 110cc so they won't outgrow them so quick and rather grow in to them. Since I can adjust the speed as they get better, I'm thinking thats the better option. I was thinking about ordering the KMX 110. Anyone know of any major problems with this style? I get nervous about ordering on line with out seeing what I'm buying first. Anyone know of any local dealers in PA somewhat close to Philadelphia? Thanks for the help! Jeff

Welcome to this forum.

Multiple questions in the same post. I'll try to help....


Boys of age 9 to age 10 are different body sizes. My 8.5 year old was the physical size of many 11 year olds. As you guessed, we call him our "line backer". Thus, at age 8.5 a Predator 90 was a good body fit - for him. Since your boys are different physical sizes, visit many ATV showrooms in your local area and get them "body fitted". This is a must. The dealer will help decide what is the best "frame size" for your young riders. They will also explain any engine size to rider age restrictions in your area. Do double and triple confirm this rider age / engine size before buying any brand of ATV. From a white board perspective, most mini-ATVs should have a 3 year growth period. A little large the 1st year, perfect fit the second year and the ATV is a little too small the 3rd year. After the 3rd year, sell and upgrade to a larger frame size. Just like buying boots for one's feet. Don't go too big because the extra "room to grow" is more dangerious then driving a frame size that's too small.


If buying online, I would highly recommend you get your young riders body fitted of the exact same brand / engine size in your area. If a good body fit and if the exact same online product/model is less expensive to purchase, then buying online might be worth it (for you). If you don't have small engine shops / ATV dealers in your area who are willing to work on that specific online brand, then don't buy it. It isn't worth the "future" hassle of trying to get parts for it later on. Even general maintenance parts like brake pads, air filter material, etc. could be huge hassle. As a suggestion, always buy something that you can get locally serviced. Especially if this is your first mini-ATV purchase.


Hope this helps....

if you're thinking about a chainese quad and worry about getting parts for them, it's really not a problem, most chainese quards use the same parts except the body componets. but if you're still worried think kazuma their's a ton of dealers on the internet and e-bay to support them, i'll go with the 110cc

 

Thanks so much for the info. I think I deffinetly will try to size the kids up on them before I make any decions, ecspecially if I have to order them on line and have them shipped.

Thanks Again,

Jeff

 

I know we have a Kazuma/redcat dealer in NY and also Pittsburgh. I was hoping on finding one closer to pick them up and avoid shipping costs. I think we might just take a day trip and go check them out in person. I read somewhere that Kazuma/Redcat use some of the same parts that the main brands use(Honda, ect). Do you know if that's true or not? Do you think a big name dealer would have any problems working on a Kazuma or Redcat brand ATV if I can't fix it myself? Thanks

 

chainese uses eaither the yamaha or honda clone engines, kazuma uses honda, yes the honda parts fit these engines because they made from the original tooling, don't expect the major band dealerships to work on these. they are made to work on them yourself and the manufacture encourage that, if you don't have the mechanical ability then you have two opions. one is buy a major brand, the other is take to a indepentdent motorcycle and atv shop.
