Hey fellas,

I was looking at the back end of my KFX400 to see where I would tie a tow strap should the occassion arise. But I could not find a decent place to put it. Any suggestions?

Also, do you feel it would tear up the unit?

Thanks.

 

Yes, I believe I sent you an e-mail, but. You can use the stock grab-bar or even a stronger aftermarket one. Try to only pull lightweight quads and not to jerk them which will prevent damage to the transmission and clutch. Though you should have no problems with the kfx, it is a very strong built quad. Make sure to ease out the clutch when pulling, keep in mind that the atv was not designed to pull, only do so in emergensies. thank you and good luck

 

Thanks for the input. More specifically. do you think I could tow a Prarie 360 4x4 without tearing up the KFX400 if I were very careful? Reason I ask is because I have both and this scenario would be likely if the Prarie ever had trouble. . .

 

We have towed my BF650 back with my budddies KFX400 when I ran out of gas. We just put a strap to the rear grab bar.

On a side note, he was pulling me down a real slick road and I kept grabbing the brakes to jack with him so he dropped a gear and started smoking the tires. Through rubber all over me and my bike. It was funny.

About a week later he ran out of gas and my other buddy was pulling him with his BF750 and the guy on the KFX loocked up his brakes and my other buddy on the BF750 just grabbed the locker and drug is AZZ. It was pretty funny.

I DO NOT RECCOMEND THIS NORMALLY YOU COULD TEAR SOMETHING UP. WE HAVE BEEN RDING TOGETHER FOR A LONG TIME. We get on gravel roads doing 65mph side by side with less than 3' between each of us. I REALLY trust these guys.

 

There is actually a trailer hitch available for the z400. It's listed in the Parts Unlimited catalog.

We use the grab bar but be real careful because you can throw the quad into a wheelie if you do any kind of heavy pulling from the grab bar.

I've pulled a foreman 450 2 miles on asphalt with the mojave from the grab bar. not hard at all once you get rolling. had to got threw a couple streams and up a few hills on the way too.

 

Look at a Pro-Armour Swing-arm skid plate, I have one on my 700 Raptor and it has a tow-hook spot in it. It has came in handy a couple times towing people in. Not sure if tow hook is on all models but would be worth a look.

 

Just looked one up and it does have the tow hook on your quad
