I would think it could be more of an abuse problem over the design of the machine having defects.

This quad's design has been around for years and maybe decades or since maybe right after the wheel began rolling.

The raptor 50 is really the raptor 80 with a few small changes to accept the smaller rider such as 2 inch smaller tires.

The engine is even the same except the bore and stroke are smaller and the trans is a single speed.

Check the link out and compare between the 50 and 80 Yamaha youth Quads

The biggest problem that I see with the Yamaha minis is the lack of an independant front suspension... otherwise, they look cool and are probably a well built quad.

I would go with the Suzuki for a 4 year old. They are small and light weight. I plan on coming out with a full line of performance stuff for them very soon. Take a look also at the new Predator 50 that just came out. They are suppose to have adjustable floorboards.

For racing, the DRR 50 and the LEM 50 have shown that they are the main quads for racing in the stock form.

What do you think of the new Polaris Predator 50? Is it just the Aeon mini 50 with new plastic, and Polaris dropped the regular Aeon 50? The dealer that we got teh scrambler from didn't even know one was coming out.

Don't tell Tanya, but I'm eyeballing it for our little one... maybe get him started a bit earlier [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
