This weekend is the first time i took my 300ex in the snow i live in jersey we got a lot..Riding in the snow is awsome i never had so much fun on my quad

 

It's fun but I like summer riding <u>MUCH</u> better. On top on that, when there is snow here, it's -25. Last tuesday, it was about -15 and the skin peeled on my eyes's corner [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

I've been driving my trx250 (utility) in the snow. It does fairly well in it too. I think my new back tire really gives me a boost in traction in the snow. I found a snow drift going uphill and I hit it and I dind't get very far[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

Anyways, for some reason I have trouble topping out in 4th gear and 5th gear barely pulls, even on plowed ground. I would think, even in the plowed ground, where there is less traction because it's snow/ice that the wheels would spin a bit quicker, but it barely pulls in 4th and 5th. 1st,2nd and 3rd all have excellent power, but 4th and 5th don't[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] I think that because of the coldness (-10 Celcius around that), it's having trouble because my oil has probably gotten thick.

So anyways, I'm also driving my Mach 1 around and man that thing is sooo fast. My friend might bring his 400ex over today and I'm gonna smoke him with it.

 

I ride my 250EX in the snow every year here... The only thing i get stuck alot[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
It's more fun to do jumps in the snow than in the summer...

 

lol i was in the snow yesterday... i live in jerzee also we got like 8 inches. so like 15 guys in our devlopment own quads we made a track on the roads around the devlopment... we had 2 snow mobils also lol..... it was awsome.

 

Well my friend brought his 400ex over today. Man that thing is pretty fun in snow, but I think I like it more in summer (because I'm inexperienced, and note that I think I enjoy my fourwheeler in the winter more than in the summer so I guess it's because I just don't drive the 400ex enough). I barely drove my fourwheeler today, so instead I went up to my Mach 1 (583) and pulled the cord and it started up. If I'm half throttle on the Mach 1, I'm right beside the 400ex. Oh man I can smoke a 400ex so badly on my Mach 1. It's so amazing. I've driven my Mach 1 full throttle today and I let off quickly because it's still accelerating but there's no room to keep on going. I wanted to videotape a race with the Mach 1 and the 400ex but my brothers wanted to stay inside

Right now htough, my plugs are fouled up on the Mach 1 because we went and got a christmas tree and pulled it behind the MAch 1 and I drove it 1/4 throttle for a while. I have to drive at least half throttle every now and then to "clean out" the engine. Anyways...need new plugs[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] I can't wait to have a 4 stroke sled.

 

Hey, im about to buy a 300ex in the next couple of weeks. How is it power wise, on and off the snow? Like does it get stuck alot? I usualy ride a yz125, will the 300ex compete with its speed and power??

 

Well the 300EX with good tires does excellent in the snow and is tons of fun. Compared to a YZ125 though it will feel slow. However if you are new to quads it will be fast enough. Once you master it then move on [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
