of course, my dad tells me all the time that the more u take care of it the longer it will last and its true, i wash my scrambler all the time and it still runs great, looks great, and ik it'll always bring me back home. If u take care of a quad it'll take care of u[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Nope, plenty of atvs have inherent problems from the factory that can only be fixed if you install new AM parts. No amount of care will ensure that a raptor one way keeps working.

Thanks to everyone for the input. She went with the KFX400 (over the Z because she likes the green). It's a great quad. Good horsepower and real strong on the top end. I can't wait for her to finish the break-in so I can check out the wheelie action. I set the suspension on soft for her skinny butt. We got a great deal due to the fierce competition among dealers in SoCalif. I just found the lowest price (seems to be the closer you get to the docks in Long Beach, the lower the price)and went to my local dealer and said "match this out the door and you've got a deal" and they went for it, about the same as their 350 Raptor out the door price. Once again, thanks for the help. ..................next...... a pipe! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
