Default anything to say bad about the P650?

i have had mine for almost a year, no major problems that were the machines cause (i gotta lay off the caffine, to many broken bolts lol) had the belt adjusted soon after my first service, and put the black spring in and it is still tight (650 miles later) my only complaint is the rear brake i've tried to adjust it but when im in 2wd it doesnt stop the quad right away, it slows it down a little then 10ft. later it completely locks the rear wheels up in 4wd it is fine. i would definetely buy it again

To much power & handles like it's on (sliding) rails.

Plastic is weak.

Belt is fine if you install the EPI black spring. I haven't worked on anything since the college days & found the P650 easy to upgrade & maintain myself.

Kawasaskirules, I'm hoping to get $4400.00 for it. Check out the other thread I posted earlier this morning. "selling my P650" for the details.
Thanks

Prairie Power,

The EPI black spring is right around $20. You don't need the whole "kit", just get the black spring. I installed mine at 285 miles and now have 1200 miles on my '03 Prairie and the belt is still in good shape and well w/in spec as far as the deflection goes. I did not install the spring myself, but it can easily be done if you follow the instructions on NYROC's site. Good luck w/ your purchase![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I put 3K trouble free miles on my 02 P-650. Wish I still had it. I NOW have an excuse to buy a P-700, I guess........................................

What is the easiest way to fix that cheap plastic? I'm thinking of where it wears around the bolts like where the 2 parts of the rear fender overlap.

DustinMinnesota--- I traded the P-650 for a Orange V-Force. Wish I had 4WD sometimes. ESPECIALLY in the snow! I will most likely get a P-700, at some point.
TOO COLD ??????????? I ride year 'round! That's what Hot Grips and electric sox are all about!
