i am going to look (maybe buy) a ATV tomorow! i am highly considering the 2004 big bear 4x4! i have heard complaints about the 2003 big bear so i am wondering- have you had or heard about any problems with the 2004 big bear at all????? PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP!

 

i've got a 01 bb and havn't had any BIG problems, the shifting is a little stiff at first but it gets better, other than that i havn't had any problems an 04 would have 2x4 to 4x4 ability that is what i wish for, oh also the bb is geared really low and i mean REALLY low so don't expect it to be a 80mph speed demon it is good for work and play, i really like mine. as for all the problems i havn't heard of many other than the shifting

 

good atv no real problems. i would recomend it.
the only thing is it will get smoked by anything in its class including a wolverine.

 

i went ahead and got the kodiak, but thanks for all your help!

 

great, the kodiak is sportier, bbfx the bb is slow but mud hehehe, i thinks i need more agressive tires for my bb to go real good but i'm waitin for the snow to melt and then MUD GALORE!!!!!
