I currently am a dirt biker looking to get back into the quad riding arena (1990 YZ 250) I currently own a 1987 Warrior, an original. It has been a good quad but has seen better days. I am always concerned about a major breakage while out on the trail. I would like to purchase a new quad and am undecided as to what to get. I am partial to Yamahas due to the excellent treatment from the dealer I purchased the Warrior from 14 years ago. However, I would consider other brands.

I am leaning towards the Wolverine, it seems to be a nice all around package (sport, utility,4x4) but I am concerned about the full time 4x4 drive. Any input from current owners. Therefore, I have been reading about the Kodiak but I cannot seem to make up my mind. Looking for advice.

Also, I have an 11 year old son. He currently has a 1999 Suzuki DS80 (dirtbike), doesn't really like the dirtbike would like to have a quad (I ride a 1990 YZ250)any suggestions?
