Does anyone have any good about the ES or standard foot shift. Just trying to get a feel on what everyone likes better.

 

I'v got an 06 rancher, 07 rancher 420 and they are great. I'm so glad I don't have to shift with my foot.

 

What do You like better 06 or 07 rancher?

 

Well, since the 07 has many upgrades over the 06, I must say I like it better. Fuel injection, liquid cooling etc. The 06 350 rancher is like the old honda trail 70's. They are very reliable, cheap and they'll be around for decades.

 

Yeah I like the price of the 2006 but much more about 2007

 

Unless price is absolutely the limiting factor, pass up the old 350 and get the 420....it's that much better!

As far as ES goes, there has historically been a lot of posts in here about problems with it. The angle sensor is now the subject of a recall, and maybe that has been everybody's problem all along and that will be the fix....who knows.

For me personally it's a pretty simple choice, because why would I spend an extra $200 on a system that I neither need nor really want? I could however see that if one were in the mud and water a lot, or had to wear big winter boots or something where foot shifting was difficult, that the ES might make sense.

 

ive been changing gears with my foot for since i got my fourtrax new in 94. i wouldnt know how to ride an atv any other way. i love it, you have complete immediate control of what gear you want to be in. but thats just an opinion.

 

I want one!
