2 years ago when I replied, our Rancher had 600 miles on it, 2 years later it only has 1200 miles on it. Oh well, still zero problems.

I guess there just hasn't been too many problems with the Rancher in the last couple years. Short list.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Bought this one last fall, ride it about 8 hours every week. No problems yet. Change the oil every 16 hours....spray WD-40 on all metal parts after cleanup. (I wash bike immediatly after riding). I ride it for sport, not work....usually trying to keep up with Z400's, 400Ex's, etc. Woods, mud, even MX track. Gets better air than a 300EX believe it or not! Only damages are cosmetic, floorboards keep breaking apart. Too bad they weren't built a little tougher. Also, bike is really slow and suspension is too stiff. Wish it had the handling of the older 300's. JM2Cents..

I had the same problem you described about the Speedo showing increasing Km/h when you give gas in neutral!
I have this happen just one time, and don't seem to be critical . . . and it was on a Foreman . . . .

 

Did you guys read about the shootout between the Eiger and the Rancher 400 in this months Dirtwheels? The Eiger had to push the Rancher up the snowy hill.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Short tow rope, the Rancher was pulling the Eiger up the snowy hill.
