I have only put 5 miles on it around my neighbor hood ,but im very impressed!
Has plenty of power ,and will pull front wheels off the ground from a dead stop , and again in 2nd if you punch it after you shift.

I know I should'nt have guned it being brand new ,but hopfully it will hold up.
Cant wait to get it on the trails to see how it does.

I will post follow up review as miles are logged.

 

Welcone to the forums abmobil and enjoy your new quad , let us know how it goes with the new machine ! ...........williebee

 

Break it in like you are going to ride it!

 

Please, put some miles on it and get back to us with a complete rider review!

The 2wd Ranchers are fun! You don't have that extra weight up front to hold you back. I use to take mine out to a popular MX play riding area, and bust out bigger air than the guys on their sport quads.

Break it in hard! If you have babied it, it may already be to late: http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm

And change the engine oil and filter, and the rear end gear oil after 1 hour of riding. This will get any metal shavings out of the system, that may be left over from machining. (Honda come pretty clean from the factory, but it's a good idea to do it anyway.)

 

Oh believe me, I couldnt resist beating on it from the moment I got it.
Once the deal was done I took it down a long stretch that was in front of the dealer.

It had one mile on it and I was already giving it full throtle before loading it into the truck.
I put 5 miles on it last night ,and there were many full throtle burst.

I understand what the break in guy is saying ,but why do manufactures continue to reccomend being easy the 1st few miles.?

I dont know who to believe.

 

LIABILITY! It's a brand new bike that you aren't use to, and you are riding it for the first time........you think the manufacturers lawyers are going to let them suggest that you go do a full throtle hill climb????????
