I am looking at a 96 Magnum 425 4x4 4 stroke, and was wondering if anyone had any opinions on the 425 motor, as I do not know much about them.
Any Advice, opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Mine has been bullet proof !And it has been used hard.They arent real fast but have plenty of power.

 

Hey FTWFLH thanks for the reply, one question:

How does the Magnum 425 compare to your Sportsman 400? My dad has the same 400 Sprtsman that you have, and it is the best quad I have ever used, it wins at the mud boggs and ATV pulls every year. Just wondering how the two compare...I know that one is a 2 stroke so they are completely different, just shoot me straight either way.


Thanks

The 400 has more hot power when the pipe kicks in and is a blast on trails but the 425 is a better all around machine lots of torque and power all the way through . They both ride and handle about the same. If you dont mind the 3 chains you will like the 425.I have had mine since 98 and other than hub probblems (my fault) the only thing I have had to do other than normal stuff like fluids and adjusting the valves is I had to replace the waterpump seal once.
