i have a 2006 rancher at and from reading all the post about them you guys got me Scared to ride the thing i traded a 2003 zx9r ninja for it with a little boot from him i got it for my wife and girl to ride but now i am thinking of tradeing it to my dad for his 2000 300 4x4 ac

 

Scared of what ..?

 

While there have been posts about AT problems, I would maintain it well and go ride the tires off it....just take somebody along to tow you home!

 

this is someone who should not leave the house.........might trip and fall

 

scared of the trans problems that people talk about am ya i am about scared to leave the house last time i did i was shot buy some guy turkey hunting and i allmost died have had my legs worked on 3 times from it and now i found out i have chrones and have had it for 10 years or more and never knew

 

Dont forget, for ALL the 400AT's sold, your bound to read alot more of troubles people have and are looking for help, then you are to read 1000 posts of how a persons bike is running perfectly. The 400AT isnt my top choice (as I prefer manual shift), but if you take care of the bike and maintain it it should be OK. If your worried, take it to the dealer for a detailed look over and maintenance check.

Good luck on all your health issues.Hope you get better real soon so you can enjoy riding again.And did this hunter mistake you for a turkey,I'd think not.Hope he's paying alot of your medical bills.GET WELL SOON.

 

I have had kidney stones since I was about 10 years old. Have had to have surgery twice to remove them, so I know all about that one!

Do a lot of research on whatever treatment they recommend for the Crohn's. I am an immunologist, and I do medical research and am involved in some studies on the effects of immunosupression. It can be helpful for a while, but may eventually lead to side effects like some cancers....so do your homework before you agree to any particular treatment.
