some utility work. Any opinions?

Any problems with the drum brakes??

 

Great all aroung bike, works like a 450 plays like a 300. my brakes just wore out and ive put 3005kms on her.

 

WILY,
Listen to Urban Cowboy ,cuz i could not have said it better. He hit the nail on the head,I sure love mine and i sell them. My son has a 01' S model just like mine and you could not pry our cold dead hands off them. If you need anything more then i don't know why. Nicest thing is #524 lbs and plenty of power and manuverable.

Wily, Also on that brake thing ,hopefully they will stay with those antique drum brakes, let me explain why ,go read other posts on how often people are replacing pads on disc setups. The reason for that is simple ,where are the rotors running? in the mud, and mud and sand is abrasive and RUINS pads and rotors and i know how many pads a friend has put on his 01' 400 ex and we put 2 sets on the rear of the 2000 kodiak we HAD. Oh yea that was in 500 MILES.
