Thanks for the information, another thing came to mind and that was the chain drive to the rear sprocket, there is no diff to speak of so how do you do u-turns or any other type of turn at walking pace. I could understand if you were going quickly enough to slide the atv but at a slow pace how does the thing compensate the need for the outside wheel to go further distance than the inside wheel, regards to all Neil

 

The inside tire will usually spin a little even at low speed. If it doesn't then you will have to make a larer radius turn. Sometimes you can shift your weight to the outside and get the inside tire to lift a little. Thats how I do my Xpedition, shaft drive but solid axle, just like a chain drive.

 

Yeah, just get on the thing and drive it. It will turn. You shouldn't be on asphalt anyways, and even if you was, the only thing you would be wearing out fast is your tires. Off-road, it's all good. Don't worry about it!
