Rubicon owners do not transport you ATV in gear!!

Really!!! Just another strike against a new technology entry, they will take care of this soon, but right now it must be a issue. I have transported 4-wheelers thousands of miles sometimes in gear, sometimes not, and absolutly no problems. Perhaps Yamaha has the answer with a PARK position. HUH, HUH?

Just a quick point, on quads with auto, or centrifical clutches, it wouldn't really matter if it was in gear or not. These machines act as though they are in nuetral when they are in gear and the engine is not running. The clutch only connects the motor to the transmission, when the motor reachs a certian rpm. There is no reason to transport this type of quad in gear, but it shouldn't hurt it if you did. Again this only aplies to manual shift, auto clutched machines, like all Honda utilitys exept the Ruby.

my 200SX, Big red, 125M all hook up when in gear with the auto cluch, if you want to keep it from rolling forwared kill it in reverse... never a prob here, I usally stick my quads in gear when loading the trailer full of wood to assist the parking break. Once the wing nut fell off the brake arm on my old ATC125 and I had to shift to N and kill the engine then slam it in fist while rolling at 30MPH to slow down-Now thats HARD abuse, but never a problem with any honda tranny here
