Is anyone else having trouble tearing and poking holes in their cv boots? I ride with a coulpe of guys that ride these machines and so far one guy in 700 miles has had to replace 2 boots and the other guy has around 400 miles on his and has replaced one so far. Is this more trouble than normal?

 

Hey Four_Play, you really didn't describe the kinds of terrain covered in the 400 and 700 miles. A couple of years ago, I went riding with a guy with a brand new quad...who tore two boots in the first 20 miles because of a 6 foot piece of barbed wire hidden in some leaves. If they ride in wooded areas or places with a lot of debris, they are probably doing great to go that far and not have to replace boots. However, if they are riding primarily in sand, etc...there may be a problem. I have yet to invest in a set of stick-stoppers, but your post has helped remind me!

 

Invest in a set of stick stoppers. I put a set on when I had about 20 miles on my AC. So far I haven't had any problems with the boots. I know I would be replacing the boots if I didn't have them. They are well worth the $40 dollars.

 

We ride mostly in wooded areas.

Where can I get a look at the stick stoppers? They have boot guards on the front that they got from the dealer.
