The diff problem was a known fault, we found that out when we ordered parts. I work on Quads all the time and know all about the regular faults. We stopped selling Honda Foremans in 07 because of the gearbox problem. The Blade would have been bought around then. The only bikes that have had belts break up on us (one Eiger excepted) were Can-Am/Bombariers with TGB cast into the variator.

 

Ok.

TGB is today regarded as a good product what i know of. And they are one the worlds biggest CVT manufacturers, so if one or two of their tramsmissions fails is that a drop in the ocean. Rather cvt failure than engine collaps like Artic-cat 1000.

 

Get the 350 Grizzly. Unlike the 300 Grizzly its made by Yamaha and not Asian sub contracted.
