my bro-in-law has a sportsman 400 and I can get more air on it than my trailblazer. Its air born capiblities is amazing for such a big quad lol

I use to jump my Xplorer a little from time to time. Never very much though.
But I think it can take jumping a little better then the sportsman because it's a swing arm and not IRS.

I've always heard the same as what you guys said it's really hard on the bushings.

 

I've had the wife's Sportsman 3 feet in the air a few times. Just fine.

 

I have 6500 miles on that sportsman 500. No, I have not replaced anything that I would consider related to jumping. Acually, it has been trouble free for the most part. I have only replaced what I would consider normal wear parts, brakes pads, tires, oil changes, etc. the only thing that I have chage that I would question as normal wear would be a shift linkage rod and a theromal sensor. It has been very dependable.[/quote]


How does it start yet.

 

With a push of the button. I did rejet it after a K&N filter install. It will normally start without the choke in even the coldest weather that we get in Michigan.
