Nearly all my friends drive Hondas. Two of my friends drive Rancher 350's w/ manual trans. The other two have 400's w/ E.S. One of my friends has 27 inch 589's on his 350, and claims his bike has more power/torque/speed than my friend with the 400 and stock tires. He even said that they swaped out tires so that the 400 had the 589's on it. He claimed that the 400 would bogg down in the mud, while his 350 would easily pull throught. Could this be true of the E.S. bikes, or is this B.S.

 

huh??

 

Honda dosnt make a 400 with electric shift. Unless you mean teh 400 rancher at but that has an automatic tranny with electric shift capabilities.

 

It must be a 450 then b/c it is electric shift. Either way, is it possible that the larger e.s. produces less power than a manual shift???

 

no. the only difference is that there is amotor on the shift shaft to switch gears but there is no other diffrence as far as engine is concerned.
