I was reading a message earlyer about a guy who has only had his ozark for 100 miles and it's already acting up. i was wondering if they all act up or if it was just that one that was bad. Has any one else had any kind of problems with their ozark or know any body who has had problems with the ozark?

Thanks

 

not any with mine and I ride pretty hard

 

Got one that has been pushed hard from the begining (After the proper brake in time), has well over 100 miles on it, NO PROBLEMS, ZERO, NADDA, ZIP.

Read that thread, it could be something as simple as Carbeuration.

 

i got mine about six months ago. i broke it in to hard so now i get alittle burnt oil on hard decell. but other than that its an awsome hard pulling machine. it was my first quad so my dad wouldnt let me get the z400. but i outgrew it along time ago. imeither going to invest money in it were talking 330 wiseco overbore, razr 2 on omf beadlocks, wheel spacers, filter and airbox custom mods, procircuit pipe, and try to find rear hydralic disc brakes. its try some of that or get my kfx400! tell me what ya'll think. but yeah, the ozark is the best 2wd sport/ute there is. it even kills 250ex's and blasters(well untill they reach top end)

 

No problems here, The Ozark did well during break in, I did not push it, but now I let it rev harder and decelerate from farther distances with greater spead, no puffs or smoke or anything, changed the oil once allready and am thinking of buying a new oil filter and a new oil change, we got it Feb of 2002, my only complaints are the shifter sometimes it can be kinda tough and notchy but it is getting better and smoother another small complaint the rear rack is kinda close to the seat when I jump off cliffs I put some of that pipe inulation with a few good tie tie's other then that the bike is bulletproof I jumped, wheelied, climbed, pulled with no problems
When we first decided to buy I compared to recon, yami beartracker , kawibayou, polariztrail&325, The Suzie Ozark stood out from the crowd it felt more powerful, most nimble, and looks Sick! Honda needs the old 250sx or es motor in that recon, recon felt good but vibrates too much its that dum sideways design that is supposed to help with power, To me it looks like honda wanted to save a few bucks and decided to turn the engine and getting rid of some parts and costs, The kawi bayues are ok but seem totally uninspired and smallish the front suspension sucks on them and feel bulky, polaris well what can i say the 325 trailboss looked nice , in fact we were going to go for that but i checked around and learned polaris are nice but they are allways breaking down from that strange belt CVT I went to go look at one and they look great Big too but I went around the back and saw chain and other weird expensive looking parts plus the sprocket on the right side? The yami is ok nice and big but it feels weird underpowered at times handlebars are weird everything was weird on the yamie it felt aukword like high centered or something, then back to the Ozark very nice powerfull, handling, feels right, ergonmical, felt reliable, incredible front breaks . compared to the other bikes , I am waiting for the Z250 it looks like a really sweat machine, looks much nice then the 250ex or 300ex. that Z250 is exactly what we need a sporty shaft drive sport quad with outo tranny!
