I have a 2002 kodiak 400SE and have rode that thing to i dont no what lengths of the earth and it just keeps on runnin. Its way better than those formans and rancher there slow and heavy and NOT FUN to ride. The kodiak is sweet but she aint no 400EX!!!!

 

Bisley,
My rubi with 27" claws will ride better than my friends 02' 450 and with stock tread on the rubi it was that much farther behind my rubi in the suspension department. My friend agree's that the rubi has a superior ride. I have seen my friend wheelie about 50 yards on his foreman, I have done about the same on the rubi it does gets kind of hard not to hit the back rack on the ground though.

 

I'm talking about stock tires. My Rubi is also a 2001. The rear springs are definately stiffer on the rubi, but new rubber would probably help the ride out, not that it's bad right now.
