Default recon going trough mud

Whoah! lots-o-questions.

1. I don't have many trails myself, only about 5 acres total, but there's a few short hill climbs, 2 small race tracks, and a couple longer stretches for top speed worked in. I do a lot of my riding at tower city, a place about 2 hours from my house that has trails that go all over some retired coal mines, I think it's something crazy like 5,000 acres total except during hunting season.

2. I consider anything 600cc and over to be a big bore, so no, the foreman wouldn't be

3. I highly doubt yamaha will have a replacement for the banshee, they already have the entire sport quad market covered with their current lineup, except an entry-level replacement for the blaster. My guess is that it will have all the features of the 250ex and z250 to compete with them.

4. My warrior can't take a banshee in a straight line, but in the tight trails it's another story, because they just flat-out suck when it comes to tight and technical riding because of their powerband and tall first gear. Riding a banshee around open spaces is like strapping yourself to a rocket, it's fun and scary at the same time, but in tight trails it's more frustrating than it is fun.

5. You could use 250ex rear wheels on the rear of your recon, but the front wheels won't work because they have different brake setups.

Sorry I will try not to ask you so many questions next time . I was riding today and had water about 2 inches over the exhaust! The intake is in the gas tank right so if i let off the gas while the water was over the exhaust would it kill the engine?

no, just getting water over the exhaust line won't make it stall, even at idle the engine has enough pressure to keep the exhaust flowing and the water out.

The other day I was going through some of my old pictures, and I realized that those 2 mud pics I posted before were waaaay back when I still had the bald stock tires on it, and I still made it through there.

Haha I still have my recon's stock front tires and wheels, every once in a while I throw them on the warrior for a few burnouts, it looks weird as hell, but they put up a nice smoke cloud. My cousin's old zuki is still the king of burnouts though 3rd gear wide open

yeah, that's the old 86 quadracer 250. It's a beast when it runs (very seldom though)
