Ticks me off, I just had a fairly detailed reply and when I hit the reply button, I got an error and lost it all.

H.O. stands for High Output. Sorry I don't have the patience to type it all over again.

Glad you and your wife are enjoying the new ATV!!!

yea sheep ive had the same thing happen. you have a good bike in the 500 as its a bullet proof engine. just read your manual so you what to expect w/ using low range and service intervales. enjoy it and be safe.

I spent the weekend out on the sand dunes on my new 500 EFI. I am very pleased with it. It has more than enough power, very stable and forgiving suspension. It's night and day compared to my Yamaha 450 4x4 Wolverine in traded in for it.

Sheepdog,
Been there too. When you feel long winded type it on a word document and past it when you are ready. You wont wast your time that way.
