I tried out a Vinson today And I love it. I would like to know of any troubles the Vinson has.

 

hello and welcome to ATV Connection. My step father has an 02 Vinson. He absolutely loves the atv. I had the chance to try it quite a few times. My opinion of the ATV is as follows:
- the ride quality is very smooth with great seating position.
- great power and very good fuel economy
- nice styling and very reliable (so far)

The only complaint he has with the atv is the crappy tires (Dunlop) and all plastic front end. So far he hasn't broken anything. Oh.....just though of something else. His rear brakes have been squeeling since the day he brought it home. The rear pads have been changed but it still does it. I'm not sure if the new one's do it or not.

That's all that I can think of for now

I am also curious about the Vinson. I am beginning to look for a second quad. I was going to buy a sport quad but now I'm leaning towards another utility. Time will tell.

I am considering the Kodiak 450 and Vinson manual shift at this time. So, I'm also interested if there have been problems with the Vinson. I have also been searching through peoples pictures for Vinson pictures.

 

let me get mine sorted out, im steamed about something better for me not to respond, look at the pics for now.

 

Kodiac400 summed it up pretty much.
The plastic front can be replaced with an aftermarket bumper, as can the tires.
Believe me, these are two things that I am in the process of doing.

One more thing, the plastic screws they use to hold the plastic on, they leave
a lot to be desired. I have heard that honda screws fit in place....
Anyone care to comment???

Otherwise, a great machine indeed. Cant go wrong. No problems with brakes
on mine either. I love this machine. Biggest 5-speed ute you can get!!

 

Vinson581- I have looked at your pictures. I like #9 with the view in the background. You also keep a very neat garage. I wish my garage was so neat right now. I hope the problem isn't too serious.

 

Suki400rdr- I'd check the local auto parts store to see if they have the plastic screws you need. They'd probably have something that would fit.

 

there slow

 

Must be hard for you to keep up your 33.57 post per day. Especially with all the effort you put in each and every post. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] Uh..... t-h-e-r-e slow

 

"The Weedman." Sounds like a respectable and informative member doesn't it? I'm betting you're one of those guys with the mindset of "utilities are slow and good for nothing," right? You ride a stock Blaster I'm assuming from your signature. Tell me, how does it feel when you get beaten by old men on their big-bore "slow" 4x4s? Ever drag race a 700 Prairie? The Vinson is a great quad. I must say that because I enjoy quicker-paced riding, I would love to have one in place of my Rubicon. Top speed should be at or around 60mph and it doesn't take long to get there.
