Default re condsidering a 400ex..

hey guys. well i was just thinking about where im mostly going to be riding my new quad and got to thinking, will a manual clutch be a big hassle in tight trails? i might be a lot of real off road riding like big water holes(deep enough to go into a semi lifted jeeps floor boards) and some real rocky, slippery terrain. what do you guys think? if that is the case i would be looking into a foreman, a used foreman. reply please, espicially you 400ex riders that ride tight rough trails, and water ways. thanks

trav..

i love mine for trails it's awesome. but if the water is deep enough to get a lifted jeep wet than i can't imagine a quad going through it without drowning?

i mean through the floorboards, not the doors(or in the jeeps case no doors). it was probably 3 or 4 feet deep but not to bad.

Forget the 400ex, it won't be going through anything that deep unless it is just water in a creek with a rock bottom.

Any mud at all and you will be hating life.
