and the belt drives have a clutch also, just like a manual even though you don't have to operate it yourself it's in there.

 

Well, if your dad is buying the quad, and is going to get you a Polaris, be happy, you're still getting a quad. I assume that you are still learning the basics of ATV riding, so you have plenty of time before you are capable enough to handle a more performance oriented machine. An automatic makes it easy to focus on the fundamentals of riding (i.e. proper body positioning,safety measures, etc.). So, no need to be dissappointed if you don't start with the biggest, fastest machine. I didn't, but I sure appreciated it a lot more when I got my first race bike. If you are looking at only Polaris automatics, take a look at the Scramblers (400 2-Stroke/500 4-Stroke). HAVE FUN and BE SAFE!!!

 

Im buyin the quad

 

if he's making you get a polaris i would get the 400 (basically a 400 scrambler 2WD) on a 4 stroke the clutches last for decades, the only way a clutch will go out is like lt250r said, or if you hold it half way in through the corners (to keep the motor on the powerband) i don't think you'll be doing any of these stunts on your new quad, but mabey your dad thinks an auto is better for you, and this is his reasoning for that.

the 300EX does have reverse but it's a joke of a design...anyone have a third hand??

 

What about the 500 scrambler i wanT 4X4. im goin to be keepin it for a long time so i was thinkin the 500 scrambler is that better in the long run than a 400 scrambler

 

well the 400 4 by doesn't exist anymore, so get the 500, anyways it'll last longer (the motor) and they have arounf the same speeds. they are a fair bit more than a 250 trailblazer though!

 

Hi there!!
Well...to tell u the trouth, I'm not a Polaris fan, they'r too heavy and the 500 4X4 ....god..thats a really heavy thing!And the automatic trasnmission doesnt call me to ride it...:/
I sugest u take a Z400 to the teste....Its a very good and reliable bike...suzuki has always been reliable during the years...I had a LT80 for 12years, always in the best shape...The honda....erm...what can u say...its good...but...reverse?? :/
I'm now thinking of buying a banshee in 2nd hand and restoring it...lets see how it goes...
Good like and good driving..

 

oh..ricon u said the 400 4X4 doesnt exist anymore? ehehe...here it still exists...this god dam place is 10years late comparing to normal society....hey to Portugal [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
