OK I am not the final authority on atv's. But didn't most if not all atv's, when atv's were first produced, have gear driven transmissions? But now most have auto tranny's, right? Wonder why they did that? I am sure it is so that customers can have more trouble with them, and they can be more unreliable, and be more expensive to repair. That is the manufactors goal to make a product we don't like, have quality issues with,and is far inferior to a Suzuki Eiger.

 

dude put some pics on here i wanna see what you look like on your eiger or your bada$$ f150.

 

i really feel sorry for your neighbors having to deal with a marvin like you,oh they respect you because you know so much about atvs, oh yeah you learned on here, i think NOT!

REALLY SEND ME SOME OF WHAT UR SMOKING, SO I GET RESPECT FOR BEING SMART,GOOD LOOKING FROM MY NEIGHBORS

 

So if we're moving from front end lockers on to belt drives:

I'll give you that early models with belt drive were very prone to slipping when they got wet. Even some later models, like the Kawi 650 had issues with premature belt wear and all kinds of efforts (different springs etc.) to make them work better. When I bought my Eiger in '02, I specifically wanted the 5-speed as I did not trust the belts plus at the time I preferred a 5-speed.

I figure that the next bike I purchase will be an auto with belt drive. There are just too many good ones out there that have no problems with the belt drive CVT system. Here too, to make any all-inclusive statements about belt drive ATV's being just toys just reflects either a lack of knowledge or a pre-determined bias on your part. I'm sure that these forums have many members who own large bore belt drive ATV that have many miles with no belt problems. That would be the facts that I tend to believe.

How long is your trailer?
I have 4 bikes that I travel with and I am looking for a trailer that will do that cheap [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] That is a sweet low trailer you have.

 

motormouth150 , im done with this.

 

Vulcan -

Deck measures 20' long by 7'-4" wide. Slightly less width at the wheelwells. That size will have no problem with 4 quads of any type. I frequently carry 5 or 6, but two are usually kids quads. Max would be 3 full size utes and 3 smaller, like a Recon or Ozark.

It's a Hurst, out of Washburn Tennessee. Hursttrailers.com

Thanks jaybeecon55
I will get in touch with them I can't seem to find anyone that will build or sell's a trailer for 4 quads.
I need 18 ft side by side that is what the 4 quads are but they all have over size tires on them even the raptor is 52 inches outside. I have one guy here where I live but he will not even return my phone calls and I have also went to his web site & e-mail them no answere.

 

I need help, I can't do it all myself, im all alone in here, please help me! Im powerless by myself to stop the belt drives from taking over, soon all of the ATV's will be belt drives, its like a disease thats taking over. Im all alone complaining to the makers of ATV's about belt drives, but it falls upon deaf ears when everybody keeps buying them. Im looking out for the future for everybody, if we all get together and demand a higher quality ATV and stop buying the belt drives the people that make them will get the message loud and clear. When Suzuki and Yamaha both came out with a King Quad 450 and a Grizzly 450 I fear thats the message they are sending to disscontinue the Yamaha Big Bear, and the Suzuki Eiger and Vinson gear drive atv's. I ask nicely to everybody, Please! don't buy the King Quad or Grizzly 450, that will send them the message to keep the Big Bear, Eiger, and Vinson in production and they will disscontinue the belt drive 450's. Thank You
