2 stroke ATV with Modern suspension and Liquid cooled
Hi all,
I currently own a 1998 Polaris Trailboss 250, 2 stroke, ATV. I really like it, but would like something with a modern, independent suspension and liquid cooled. I prefer a 2 stroke only because I am very familiar with the engines. I would be willing to consider a 4 stroke, if it didn't require constant valve adjustments and top ends, like my friends KX 450f. I got spoiled with my Kawasaki KDX 200 dirtbike that had over 7000 miles before It needed a topend.
Thanks again for your help,
Mark

What are you looking to do with the quad? The 450's are race motors that require frequent maintenance. Most ute quads and even a good number of sport quads don't need any where near that type of attention. independent suspension is more of a ute thing, but you do have a Polaris and Honda sport with irs to choose from.

Sounds like the 450f in a quad is the same engine that is in a modern Dirt Bike.. with lots of maintenance. If someone could steer me towards a very reliable sport Quad that is liquid cooled and has a better suspension than my 1998 Polaris Trailboss, it really won't matter if it was a 4 or 2 stroke. probably can't get a new one in this economy. Maybe 2002 and newer. I do like Polaris, but am open to ideas. I have been looking into a Yamaha twin cyclinder 350cc 2 stroke. I used to race dirt bikes, until I shattered my leg in about 45 places a few years back, so I'm not afraid of the power.
Thanks for the input,

I think the last year of polaris's 2smokes were 2003 in a 400. They still made the 250 2 strokes for another couple years I think. They stopped putting them in pretty much everything else in 2002 but in 03 they made a trailblazer with the 400 in it. Other than that it'd have to be a yami or (I think) a zuki for anything newer than 03 for a 2 stroke. It's sad to see them gone but they're making a lot of head way in the 4 strokes now, but it's still hard to beat the way they made power in an atv... imho But I guess I'm kinda partial
