I am seriously looking into buying my 5 year old an AC. I have a great rep with the dealer, own an AC650 myself and Connor has been on my sisters 125 Breeze quite a bit but I want him to have something more his size to ride. He has a Kitty Cat snowmobile so he has an idea how the throttle works etc... and he's a big boy for 5.
Any reliability issues with the AC 4 stroke? Anything else I should considder?
Thanks!

 

My 6 year old son has the AC 50 2 stroke. I can say that this machine has been put thru the torture test and still asks for more.We turned it into a moded 70 for racing. It has over 25 races on it The only thing that has gone bad is the electric choke failed and he bent a tire rod . But the quality of the machine is awesome.My buddy has the Bombardier 4 stroke for his girl. It is the brother of the AC 90 4 stroke you talked about. He really likes his. It is a very tuff quad and made very good. I would buy 1 in a minute if I was looking for a 4 stroke. Another good thing is you can get parts for them all the time. My dealer said they have no trouble getting parts. I hope this helps you out.

 

Awesome, Just curiuos since I have been reading the posts here and Arctic cat is virtually never mentioned. I don't want to get into something that will be more hassle than it's worth.

 

Most top brand youth quads are made in tawain they are pretty much maintnance free iam a eton dealer they are awsome bikes as well but if you got a good standing and feeling for you ac dealer go and do the deal customer service is #1 in selling new stuff good luck with what ever you choose.

 

My son has an AC 90 4stroke, and we are happy with it. No big problems with it ( other than I think it's hard to get it running when it have been left for some weeks )
We have been around some places riding it, and after I have seen other youth quads, I maybe think the suspension on the AC 90 are a little stiff.

My 2 cents.........

 

I have a 2002 ac 90 cc 2 stroke that i am trying to rebuild for my nephew. where would you recomend i get the performance parts?

thanks,
Chris

 

Billy at WRH. we run a cat 90 with wrh parts and its awesome. Some of the cat parts are a little different like the cases are longer etc and different belts. etc. but most parts are similar to the others like pred 90, eton etc. You can improve them a bunch.
