Default predator 500 views

I am getting a new quad and and want to know everyones views on the predator.I now have $800 saved up and im selling my warrior for $4700 so i hope to have it soon.
How good is the suspension compared to the dale?Has anyone had any problems with stuff breaking?
Has anyone broke in there predator enough to were they can really max it out, in all dimesions?Also, how long do you have to break an engine in?I know this is alot of questions ,but i have been to alot of forums and this in my opinion is the pnacle of the rest.Glad to be abourd.

If you can afford the extra expense of the Cannondale i say buy the Dale.Personally id be real nervous about buying a new Quad because i have a feeling Honda and Yamaha are dropping a bomb on the Sport Atv crowd (new quads). late,zubbeyboy

I trully believe that the Predator is the best buy for a stock quad out right now. The power on this thing is great, the handling is amazing. I used the 20 hr break in from duncan racing. I have pushed this machine to its limits and all I can tell you is that as far as dependability so far so good and I have been doing alot of jumping and trail riding. Just to let you guys know I'm not a Polaris fan or any company fan. My friends have Raptors, Hondas, and Z400 and they all share my opinions on this quad. As far as wating for a new quad for Honda or Yamaha that is a good point but, then again are you always going to wait to see what comes out next? The best thing you can do is ride everything and then make you choice. Hope I helped a bit.

Why put off riding today, for a quad that might not come out for a year or two? Great bang for the buck. Compare standard features. Nothing out there matches it.

I agree with NOxEFFORT and modquad. Predator is definatly priced right. I cant comprare that much to the c-dale. I have drag raced a friends fx400 a while back. The my predator is no where near as responsive as the c-dale I rode. It feels very close to the acceleration of the fx400, but the top end is definatly stonger than the fx400 but who really buys a quad for top end only. I like the c-dale but it is just beyond what I will dish out for a quad. These are just my opinions.

Yep, That's what I'm thinking. $4700 for a used Warrior seems VERY high. They don't exactly have good resale these days.
