hey lancems007, what did you have to fork out for those HPD upgrades? Do they have a website?

Thanks!

I went to look at that one today, well yesterday for most of you who have slept.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Its a 2000 500 4x4. But its not for sale, THANK GOD. When I got close enough to see it I realised that I think somebody hooked it to the bumper of a truck and drove off at 90MPH, cross country. So yeah it was a little ridden. I had just assumed this thing was for sale. It was at a car lot where he sells dirt bikes and ATVs. It was sitting out there with everything else, oh well.

Thanks alot for all your help. I will probably keep my eyes and ears open for one, but my price range is pretty low right now so....
Thanks again.

The pipe and clutch mods along with the K&N filter from HPD ran a little less than $500. They were worth every penny! The steering stabilizer is about $150. Also worth it if you run in the rocks alot. And to have them build you a custom suspension is right around $1,000. If you don't plan on racing it, don't bother with the suspension. If you do plan on racing it, I would hightly recommend it. I started with having the rear Fox shock revalved and I bought a pair of the Works front struts. The rear rebuild worked great. Don't wasted a penny on the Works struts. I literally blew mine apart two or three times!!!! Oh, and HPD does have a site. It's http://www.hpd-inc.com Good luck!!

If you want a good reliable quad for your wife you can't beat a scrambler. My wife rides mine and loves it. I'm from The northwest corner of Connecticut and the 4x4 is definately needed. Snow,rocks,sand,mountains,water, mud, we have it all and having the 4x4 when needed is definately a plus. The new scramblers have shaft drive to the front so there is no adjustment, just grease the u-joints on a regular basis and change the front differential fluid once or twice a year(depending on riding conditions). If you are worried about weight going with the 4x4 think of it this way, the added parts weigh about as much as the 4 gallons of fuel in the tank if that so weight shouldn't even factor in your decision it should just be preferance. The oil injection is idiot proof just check it when you fuel or every couple tank fulls. Now to motors. The 400 is slightly faster than the 500(one or two mph), and is cheeper i believe. If you are going to modify it go with the 400 because two stokes make way more power per cc than a four stroke and mods cost alot less and you get more out of it. As long as you don't go crazy your reliability won't suffer. Ritter cycle racing has a good stage 1 kit for around $300 and would wake up the machine alot with zero reliability problems. Whether you go 400 or 500 and 2 or 4 wheel drive you will be happy with the machine. One more thing. The new Scramblers have concentric drive which means when the swing arm pivots up and down the chain tension does NOT change(the sprockets are in perfect alignment), so you should not need a chain tensioner. The chain tensioners are for non-concentric drive models because their chains don't follow a straight path, they go up and over like 400ex's,250r's etc. I owned a 95 Sport 400L and never broke the chain,didn't have a tensioner, and jumped the hell out of it, not to say it couldn't of happened. I hammer my 2000 Scrambler 400 4x4 every time I ride it and it has been very good to me
