His posi lock diff. dosent work all the time either. not really true posi. stick with honda. ive been riding them for 16 years and have never encountered any magor problems

yeah i like honda myself, in my opinion they are number 1 in atvs, but i really want more performance and power, i ride in very harsh places, deep mud holes and extremely rough trails,but from what ive seen its time for me to break away from my love for honda

you can get what you would but in the end you will go back to honda. there the only 4x4s with transmissons instead of unreliable belt drives.
