I am putting my Scrambler out for sale Friday and want a sport quad.
My stepdad just got a cannibal L.E. and has a scrambler as well.My question is should I get a cannibal? Is it a good trail bike? Of course it is great at track riding and friendly drag racing.
I just dont know what to get, leaning toward a cannibal.I am looking at the z400, cannibal,raptor and maybe waiting for predator. I like the scrambler only because it goes anywhere,I just want something better handling, ability to play on the MX tracks and fast trail ride.Just curious if you guys like your c-dale on the trails.I have ridden with 400ex's, will the c-dale go anywhere they go?

Yeah, my Dale will go anywhere a 400ex will go....but with alittle added fun. I def. recommend the Cannibal to you. Take your step dad's out for a trailride with your buddies....you'll never wanna get off of it.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Thats what I thought, just wanted to make sure I would be doing the right thing.He says he bought his c-dale more for me, but he is on it an awful lot.LOL!!
Has anyone run a cannibal against the z400? Wondered how they did compared to each other really performance wise? Just curious. The c-dale is more attractive by the minute..[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

After my remap and pipe add on the speed difference is great the C-Dale is way faster and hits harder. But if you ride the trails all day the Suzuki is way more comfortable. I personally will give up some comfort for the speed. Both are good quads you wouldn't be wrong going with either.

Stepdad fouled plug today. It is a job to get to plug,getting a few new plug tomorrow.
Dealer said on starting turn key on, touch start button real quick, wait 5 seconds, then hold start button for no longer then a few seconds at at time. Anything you guys recommend doing different or is that procedure ok? We started like that every time.Is the starting procecure to blame for a foul plug?Please help.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

Yeah, the starting procedure is pretty important for a cold engine start. If not followed, you will foul a plug. Just don't EVER touch the gas when starting. I have to pull in the clutch and hit the start button. If my engine doesn't turn over alittle, it doesn't wanna start.
