im 13 and i have a ozark how well do these things hold up. i dont just put around on it i like to go fast do doughnuts and go through lots of mud shift fast and just floor it some times. anyone else out their do that and if so how is urs holding up ive only had mine a couple of months and it seems to be doing ok.

 

That is what they are made for. I weigh 220# and i ride my ozark hard. Very hard. I have had it for a year. You should have no trouble if you maintain it properly. They are good atvs. I even jump it over some of the stuff I take my 400 over. (slighly smaller stuff)

 

has the way it shifts changed any since u have had it like it isnt as smooth and sounds a little difrent then when u first got it

 

I have had my Ozark for almost a year, and it has been worth every penny I bought it for. It still shifts about the same as when I got it, a little jerky, but the exhaust hasn't really changed it's note at all. If yours has, it might be time to take the spark arrestor out and wire brush it. These are great quads, just read the reviews about them in Dirt Wheels, Quad, and the like. I LOVE MY OZARK!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

my wife has an ozark, and while my machine is in the shop i ride alot. great machine. i like the faces of the guys with big bores give me when i go every where they go. they don't think the machine go make it. its pretty funny. its a great starter quad not real fast always try to shift it into a 6 gear it does'nt have. but in the mud and hills it goes fine. good splash protection only bad part about is the way it feels. not as plush as my king quad.

 

my ozark still shifts great. runs great. Took out the spark arrestor. A shade faster now.

 

the ozark is an amazing quad and extremely capable, suzuki got this one right for sure
