Anyways back to the topic on hand. The V-Force will work great for you I think. The V-force handles well on the trails, nice soft suspension but firm enough to jump still. It can climb hills very well, better than a 4x4 quad can, because of the weight savings and more power you have on tap. It has a lot of clearance, alot more than the other quads you mentioned. I have used it in water and I like it. The V-Force is great in all of the aspects but those other quads are lighter and faster but for what it sounds like you want to do the fun factor will be greater on the big green beast.

 

I owne 500 preditor and have had no problems. But I would contact Polaris directly or go to a diferent dealer.

 

The big V-twin will do ALL you want! Look into them before you buy anything else.

 

LOL BJC, yeah, I belive there was another disatisfied customer with superbike shop and something to do with money not being returned to a credit card accout. The predator is an awesome machine...my advice, find a different dealer, and put the stock air box on or go to a clamp on K&N for airflow. That airforce kit will be nothing but trouble. And about your nerf webbing, yeah, I hash mine pretty frequently too...just sew it to hold up for the next race, and will probably replace it for next year...but that's how it goes some times. Give your pred a second chance, and give it the maintenence and lube jobs that any quad deserves!

 

Well first off i think the BJC guy is a total ***. Hes bascially listing a few problems other people have had, including his dealing with superbike shop. I call troll. I am by no means a SBS loyalist, i have bought one thing from them, i did that yesterday, only somthing small (under $20) and have heard the storys about the CC incident. I just think this guys out to stir the pot and cause trouble, i say ban him [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

like i said before on another forum this guy doesnt even have polaris. any body thats had dealings with polaris knows bjc is fibbing.

 

First of all, the company I work for owns a polaris dealership, No legitimate Polaris dealer is going to warranty anything that is not a factory defect. Based on this guys own admission, he has destroyed something everytime he rides it. Neglagence is not a warranty concern. So before you start trash talking, learn a lttle about what your talking about. And Pud the Airforce kit still out performs anything available at this time. I have never had a second of trouble from the kit. You have to have a little common sense when using aftermarket parts.

 

700racer you said it buddy! i have the airforce kit to only prob i had with it was the foam under the seat would break and suck raw air in. but i fixed that and got some better foem and put screan on both side of it. and it was faster no kidding. the raptors wasnt even a race after i installed the kit. but now i have a k&n clamp on and it may be a little faster.
