I what to buy a 09 650 SRA and i was wondering if there is any downfalls?? is it much less comfy then the independent???, and if can you guys send some links of shock cover companys to fit the SRA thanks

 

I know this thread is old but just for people still wondering, the sra brute/prairie is comfortable. It is the most comfortable SRA atv out IMO and other magazines. But once you get into a faster pased off camber trail independent will be better definatley. In this case on my prairie I just stand up a bit to soak up the major bumps. IRS is great but for my kind of mixed riding (trail/mud/snow more trail then anything) I like sra a little better for the powerslides and cornering. I would buy an irs quad though but I think I would keep my SRA so I can have the best of both worlds!

 

How can having a lower 7.3" of ground clearance vs higher 10.1" ground clearance be a advantage in snow,mud and trails?

the irs brute forces are tall and dont handle too well from what i read. id get the sra version, i had an 02 650 prairie and loved it

 

id get the str one. ids are way easy to roll over unless u let the shocks all the way down. then u loose ur ground clearance. i have a 06 650 str i love it more than my truck :P
