Why go with Raceway?
Hey Buggy, What kind of cover do you cover your atv with? If its sitting outside with a cover that will not breath, it could be part or all of the problem from condensation & drying, some rubber could have a hard time with this after a short while. Just a guess, trying to help.

A response on the Chinese rubber. Having worked with a guy from B@SF; its the lack of and / or not enough of the special "Additives" that go into the liquid rubber batch, that give each batch it's special properties - like UV resistance, flexibility, ozone resistance, etc, etc. These additives cost A LOT from a Chinese perspective - so they don't or won't use them. Perhaps the answer might be (for Eugene) to just buy the rubber components from Japan, like he had to do with the nuts & bolts hardware and carberator. Some things the Chinese just are NOT good at - so to still use their strengths, you just have to find other solutions.

From what I understand after talking with John at RaceWay this morning. MR BUGGYBOY has been given 2 options.....He can return ALL the defective rubber parts and get free replacements or he can buy ALL of the rubber parts for $100.00.
Seems reasonable to me...
Its been a while since Ive made this comment so here goes.
I gotta wonder if you can go to the SUVConnection forum and read about people who bought a KIA Sportage and are upset its not the same quality as their neighbors BMW SUV?

You know my atv's are coming up on 3 years old now and I really haven't noticed any big problem with the rubber parts so far other then a battery strap on the one quad. Still have the same fuel hoses and what not too.
Its an inexpensive ATV I don't think any one here is saying its built the same as a honda.
Heck I know guys that drop $10 grand on a new quad then take off the stock tires and rims and put them on the shelf in their garage. Then they drop another grand on new rubber and rims. I wonder if they bitch about the crappy cheap tires their new Yamaha or Suzuki comes with from the factory!

Hey thanks everyone for your help, from both sides, lol, I simply just can't afford dropping big bucks on a new big brand atv, and believe i have been looking at used ones, they still want way too much for them here IMHO. I think it makes sense if you maintaine the chinese made atv's properly, they should be able to last for a couple of years, and well with any brand your bound to have issues.
I just get overload when looking at all the different sites online that sell them, so I am very cautious with ordering from the right place. I plan on getting them this spring when the weather is warmer to set them up and give them a good try out. Of course now I need to find a trailer to pull them on too, [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] just can't fit in the back of my Bronco.
