yes that is deffinitly something I think I should get being i also plan on trail riding this thing in the snow, where is the best place online to shop for things like this?


Also, IM not to sure what this means "Where a Foreman or Rubicon might hold 3-4 mph on engine hold back alone, the Rincon might be doing 12 in those situations... so you have to use the brakes. Some people hate that, and some people don't mind at all"

The Foreman and rubicon are greared lower in the low gears, so there engine braking will kick in at a slower speed when going down hills. Just use the brakes if you feel it going down a trail hill to fast.

Our 97 500 Sportsman has no engine braking whats so ever, and were still alive after 7500 miles.

OOHHH okay yes I understand, I would actually prefer to use my brakes instead, but yes I love the rims and tires. Where do you guys buy your accessories from? Or you just know what you want and shop around for the cheapest price. I definitely want to get those wind breakers for my hands

One place you can check is Rockymountainatv.com. You could also check ebay. I am sure there are many others but that is where I shop.

I'm betting you got a got a fine quad there. Sure looks good. Probably the only thing it needs is to be ridden a little bit to clean out all the cob-webs. As previously stated, I would go over it and change all the fluids, filters and any other maintenance items.

thanks guys! The owner said he recently changed the oil, which he did because I checked the dipstick level and it was too high, so i had to let a litle oil out and it was clean as could be. He also said he did the front and rear diff fluids. I can tell the brake fluid needs to be changed (its kinda dark) He also said it has a new plug.
