I have 5 very hilly acres(40ft 30-60 deg inclines) I live on. That open up in the back to a power line trail and a strip mine with lot of trails. Works for mine must be 4x4 fans! Best part I did not know the trails were ther untill last night. It was like christmas all over again. I was like a kid in a candy store! But mine was filled with mud snow and ice. I have riden every night till just after dark. What a blast!!!

The best way I found to access the radiator to wash gunk out of it was to take the plastic side sheilds off. Just 3 or 4 screws holding them in plus the O rings that hold the screen in front of the radiator.
Being hard to shift out of low is common. As the engine loosens up, the idle speed increases. Try slowing down the idle speed a hair & see if that helps. Sometimes they idle fast enough the front pulley puts a slight pull on the belt even at idle.

Hi ROWDY:
That does sound like a blast. There is a place in Martinsville that is fun riding as well. Let me know if you ever want someone to ride with. It sounds like it would be fun.
BTW I have a 2000 Scrambler 400 4x4.
See ya

Hi IndyDave:
Lets go....
Martinsville is private land but lots of people ride there. It is off of 67 / 37 split. It is some land that is being cleared for a housing addition. It is being cleared (has been going on for a long time)so there are what amounts to logging roads and trails.
