If he buys a used Cat prior to 2003 they have a cable shifter linkage. The cheap fix is when the cable goes bad (it will), upgrade to the linkage system on the 2003 and newer, works better and is cheaper than a replacement cable. I did on this my 2001 and it shifts as good as my 2005 400 does. Electric shift is for Buick drivers.

I always thought "GC" stood for "Ground Clearance". You know, How high the object has to be before the bottom of you machine hits it.

o and another thing is depends on what you want to do with the machine i would go with the AC over the Honda but if you want electic shift the honda has that. over all i like the AC the best because of the super low i have a LTF250f suzuki which is the same thing as the AC and this machine has treated me well

The AC 250 and 300s have the same engines and trannys as the Suzukis of those sizes. No super low on the 2X4 models only on the 4X4s. And the LT250 has a lot less ground clearance.

When I upgraded to a AC400 it was for two main reasons. Bigger quad for my large rearend and the wife kept stealling the 250 every time I turned my back. She loves her 2001 AC250 2X4 and with the changes I made she can ride with confidence that it will bring her home. It never let me down. Gees, look, three posts in a row. I'm a "Post Ho".

With the AC250 and the super low range - would the tranny be able to handle the stress of 25 or 27" tires? I mostly just cruise the trailes and gas pipe roads at less than 20mph. But like to have that extra tall tire to walk through the wallowed out mud pits.

Honda recon is the better more reliable bike. It is the definition of bulletproof, ask anyone who owns one, like all Hondas it may not be the fastest smoothest or best in the mud but it will last alot longer than the competition. I swear by Honda and yamaha

The biggest POS I have ever bought was a Honda - an XL 350. The second biggest POS I have ever bought was a Honda 230.
