Which is better a 400 or a 500 scrambler. What years are best. We bought an 03 500 for my wife and it is a great atv. The only problem is that i need to get one for myself. I ride a cr 500 but i also like her scrambler. I am looking to get another one so I can ride with her on an even level.I know the suspension change around 2000. Any comments would be helpful. Thanks!!

 

easy mods make 400's kill a 500 but both will feel lame sompared to a cr 500

 

The 03 and earlier have the adjustable fox shock onthe rear which is good. As to whether which is better 400 or 500 is your choice. the 400 is a two stroke and 500 is four stroke. The 400 you can do alot more to make it scream, but you have the problems associated with a two stroke. Which I love two strokes and don't mind dealing with them.

 

I would say stay with the 500. You can swap parts and maint. will be the same. Try for an 2001 to 2003 500.
