What ? Every person that want's a locking diff on a Kawi has a quick release clamp right? Well maybe not all... I prefer pulling the diff lever and if I want it to stay locked for what ever reason I have a quick release clip around the handle bar... and BTW I have never need to operate my winch and the locker at the same time, All I do when I get stuck is put it in diff lock and reverse with the overide and hang on. If your buddies don't have a quick release strap tell em to go and get one... that gives them the best of both worlds.

 

The quick release is a good idea.

 

I can go anywhere your poor or broken down poor-o-larris can. I ride with about 50 other riders and about 6 have poor-o-larris (I know 8 who have sold theirs due to the reliability issue). We ride on a 1000 acre area with river bottom mud and I go where they go. It is all about the power and the ability to LOCK the front wheels in. The poor-o-larris "true" 4wd can not lock the front wheels in and they only engage when the back wheels start to spin. Too often, I have seen the poor-o-larris guys get stuck because by the time the front wheels start to engage, they are too deep in the muck. I can lock mine in before I get there. POOR-O-LARRIS.....THE WAY OUT.......WITH NO WAY BACK!!! LOL

 

well you are lieing because the 4 wd system kicks in much faster than you are saying. it kicks in when the back wheels do a half of a turn, now how is that going to make the difference between being stuck or not? see you can call polaris names all you want, but you will need some better facts than that. many praire owners are not so dumb that they think they can out mud a sportsman, the sportsman is king of the 4x4s.

 

All I can say is WOW!! You're dumb!!!

 

700Prissyman has to rag on our Polaris's so much because he's probably been out-mudded so many times he has a chip on his shoulder. And for that extremely stupid and moronic comment about the Polaris guys getting stuck because they are "waiting" for their front wheels to engage, wake up Alice, you're not in Wonderland anymore. The rear tires only have to turn 20% faster than the front for them to engage, which is like less than a tenth of a second, to fast for anyone to even notice. And you'll never convince anyone here that a Prairie will out-mud a Sportsman, ANY size Sportsman for that matter.

So if you're not going to play nice and stop trash-talking, leave here and go ride your kawazuki, we certainly don't need your crappy, unintelligable input.

 

All of this talk about "out mudding" another bike is sensless. 4wd tractors can go through mud many feet deep but that doesn't make them FUN to ride. That just shows that they have lots of ground clearance and traction.

 

It is kinda fun to drive the big cab tracters threw deep mud...lol

 

Sorry DaRiot, but mudding is a very important part of the ATV industry. When we ride, we LOOK for mud and mudholes.

 

I understand mudding is very important. I believe the Polaris is great in the mud, the Griz is great in the rocks, and the prairie is great at going fast. That doesn't make one better than the other overall. The very thing that makes your Sportsman tow and mud so well is why I didn't choose it, I think they just plain weigh too much. Just as why I didn't get a Griz, I don't like IRS. I know you guys like IRS so that probably had alot to do with you not choosing the Prairie. That is all I am trying to say.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
