some pics.... also came with a 60" tilting moose plow and new tire chains. It has 1325 miles / 277 hours- Not bad for $3k, huh? Now- if only I had someone to ride with!

i looked into options for chips and all that, DO NOT buy a $30 chip off ebay that says you gain 30 horse not true, the best way to go is the hmf optimizer, its about $250. what do you need more power for?? i have ridding in mud/water over the racks and have more than enough power, this engine is tuned down for reliability and it runs strong, may want to considare clutching and leave the rock solid power plant alone?? just my opinion its your bike good luck!!

I believe that's the best looking $3,000 quad I've ever seen.

Yep- was the best $3k I've ever spent! It might need a front wheel bearing, It's a little squeaky until it gets wet- then it's silent. There's also a little crack in the AUX head light (the light on the bars) Other then that- and some new tires, seems great!

what do you need more power for?? i have ridding in mud/water over the racks and have more than enough power, this engine is tuned down for reliability and it runs strong, may want to considare clutching and leave the rock solid power plant alone??
You're probably right- I'd hate to start screwing with the motor and have something go wrong... plenty of power for any trail riding around here. Although there are some real mucky stumpy swamps to crawl through.

i look at it this way. i was in muck soo thick that in low my tires would not spin, the belt would just spin on the clutch, more power would not have helped me, clutching would have. i am just happy with the dependability factor with my 700, and tonsa power for what i do, mudding, hunting, trail riding, just my opinion though and no the belt was not wet, i my wheeler is snorkeled and it works perfect in water over the racks

excellent point!

One thing I'm really hating about my new Suzuki 700 is the fight I have to have with those stupid black body clips just to get to my air filter or check my oil! That was a poor design! They made a nice little access panel that pops of easily to check the radiator fluid- but I have to gouge up my plastic with a flathead screw driver just to check the oil level! A simple access panel would've been real nice there as well!
I'm thinking of just using a hole saw to cut a clean hole to access the dip stick... anyone else have any tips to make this easier?
