How do you like your ride? Any problems or praise?

When traveling at 30 mph my 450 seems to have a high piched rattle/vibration sound. Has anyone else experienced this?

My buddy had one and it took lots of abuse before it was stolen about 6 months ago. He never had any problem with his and it was a great quad. He likes his new Rubicon but he missed the low end torque of the Foreman S. They are a true work horse and they are as fun as it gets with the traxlock.

I have only had my 450 S for about a month, but so far I have enjoyed the ride. I had considered buying the Yamaha Big Bear but I'm glad I chose the Honda. I have been riding with a buddy who got the Big Bear and the Foreman seems more stable and I am able to crawl up the hills that he needs to take a big run at. All of my previous Hondas (93 300 fourtrax, 85 honda atc, 85 Honda Odessy) have been reliable and I expect the same toughness out of the Foreman.

Can you tell where the noise is comming from the (front axle, tranny, rear end...)? Could the tires been causing the problem or even the noise? Have you had the bike under water?

Hope you get it worked out and enjoy many years on the bike.

Only vibrations i've had have been from loose bolts on aftermarket accessories and from the rollerfairlead on my warn 2500. Check things like that and for any other loose bolts or items in the tool box.
