I would like to know if 4x4 ATV's come with optional diff locking mods like a 4x4 truck.

So both wheels or 4 wheels turn without limited slip. And if so is it worth having on a 4x4 ATV?. And if anyone has any examples/pictures or video they can point me to - so i can see it in action would be nice.

 

A few models do come with diff lockers as standard equipment.

 

All but Honda have a form of 4wd. With the Can-Ams and Polaris when you put them in 4wd they wait a fraction of a second to sense any difference in tire speed between the fronts and the rears and lock in quickly. Suzuki, Yamaha, Arctic Cat use a switch that goes from 2wd, to 4wd limited slip, to full locked front. Kawasaki uses a little lever that progressively locks in 4wd depending on how hard you pull the lever. Honda has a limited slip front end.

 

Thanks alot of the infomation Moosehenden it has help out heaps.

 

Welcome. It's getting hard to find a "bad" machine now. They all have pretty good machines now.

 

I do not have picture or video but i read some where as "jumbofrank" said "A few models do come with diff lockers as standard equipment." It is correct.

 

Here is an example of the Polaris system in action. You really can't see my right side tires, but you can see that they are all spinning by the way I am drifting to the right.
The front locks in so quick, you really can't see when it goes from rear wheel drive to all four wheels pulling.
