Hey guys I wrote a lot of forums wonder if the bf650i is better than the bf750. There is so many quads out there that I like which one is better and is a good quad to warm up. Had problems with my 250 kawasaki. And which one dosen't have a lot of problems.


THANKS

 

Both very good quads. Since they have been out a couple years pretty much all the bugs have been worked out. If you are looking for all out strait line power, then the 750 is a good quad, but it does not handle as well as the 650i. If you want something that feels sporty, but still is a utility, then you may want to consider the 650 SRA. I've ridden the 750, and have a 650 prairie, both have there benefits, but the 750 is a little tippy when yoy ride hard into corners. I like what I've read on the 650i, and with a new dyna or copperhead ignition, the 650i will run like a 750. Ride them both, but for the money, I would go with the 650i.

 

I have a 750 and a close friend has the 650. I can tell you his 650i stock for stock is the one I'd buy. it handles ALOT better turns soooo much easier. and the low end lag in the CDI isnt there on the 650i. and it rides a little more comfortably. only downfall to the easier steering is that its twitchy at speeds.

 

It really depends how you set your machine up, at what you get.
Stock you get 2 ply Dunlop’s that role over on turns for tires. If you want the machine to ride and handle like a pro you need tires. Radial and off set wheels, like ITP and Maxxis will give you a big center of gravity increase because of the width of machine. ITP's have a slightly more offset but also weigh more by 1 1/2 pounds. Rotating weight means a lot when you are looking at a 51 HP machine. For every pound of rotating mass it is equal to about 8 lbs of static or dead weight. Add it up and you will see real fast why 27" tires on a BF750 get beat by a BF650 with stockers or muddlites.

If you want to lower the machine like I have with my BF you spend some bucks on shocks. I have the Works G series and seat height is around 34 3/4". Between the shocks and wheel/tire combo it handles better than my P700. It takes ruts better and the new Rincon’s struggle to keep up. I have two buddies on Rincon’s that try and even on narrow winding trails it is a draw at best. Straight stretches they are left in the dust.

 

I go in tight trails and go through water and mud so how are the stock tires? And do you or did you have trouble with the 4wd. And what are the most common problems?

THANKS

 

The stock tires are a little better than the ones that came on my p650, but still not good for mudding or in snow. I have had mine through some sticky mud, but tires are the best upgrade for any atv as far as mud or snow. I haven't had any trouble with the 4wd system on either of my machines.

 

Well do you still have to go 10mph to put it in 4wd

 

It's roughly about one rotation of the tires. I have never noticed at what speed. I want it in 4wd, I let off the gas hit the button, within a second or so it's in 4wd. Same as any 4wd, you don't want power going to the wheels when engaging. It switches at about 3 mph if I would take a guess, from a dead stop.

 

get the koozzooo

 

if you get rid of the KEBC, the 4x4 will engage almost instantly, and at speeds above 10mph if desired. i haven't tried it stationary. i don't know how the KEBC and 4x4 are tied together, but they are.
