Default Foreman 500 owners - I need some info please

I like mine. I have had one puncture with the stock tires (so far) and I'm not sure what I will go with when the stock tires wear out. Not as plush as a Rincon, but I don't consider it harsh either, and I like the granny low. Shifting can be a bit notchy the first time through the gears when it has been cold started.

Riding literally all day will run through a full tank, so if you plan to go hard from sun up to sun down, a little extra fuel would be added security.

I paid around $5700 out the door for mine, so I'd work on the dealer on price. The winch mount was not out when I bought the quad, and when it came out the dealer couldn't come close to the prices around on line. I think I was like $325 for a warn 2.5, mount w/rollers, including shipping... Installation was more work than I had figured.

Winch

Only you can say if it is the right quad for you, or which color is best.

I got the winch mount and the front bash plate by aluminum products from yaskyatv.com (a little pricey..but good stuff)
both parts are needed.

The tires and winch I got from ATVoutfitters.net (the dot NET is important...correction from previous post).

I haven't received the tires or winch but I'm sure the winch will fit fine.

Happy trails!

Try these guys for your winch mount, very nice setup. I have it for my Rancher and am very satisfied.

As for yellow, I like it very much, it does look nice. Except the color yellow doesn't seem to be the same from plastic part to other plastic part. Shows stains more. Otherwise I like it.
