Noone I know of - its called LEAN OVER!!!

I had one. New tires and no problems now.

 

Had to dig my brother-in-law out from under his once. Wow I am not small 6'4" 220 but dam 600lbs give or take does not roll easily.

 

never had, but I have been real careful. That thing is just like any other Yamaha, too narrow. If I'm running stock tires, you can't drive a needle up my butt with a sledge hammer when going on side hills. With the 27" tires on the ITP rims, its a different story. Yamaha needs a wider setup on all of their quads from the factory.

 

My wife flipped my (pre Mods) 700 over backwards on top of her in early Jan. That was a damned heavy lift. Two surgeries later, she is still on the sore end of things. Cant wait to see what the final total will be for her hospital-stay/Doctor-visits. THANK GOD FOR INSURANCE!!!

 

A friend of our dumped his new SP 700 twice on a trip last year. Once he was climbing some rocks and it tipped over towards the l/r quarter. The second time just dumped it on its side. Everyone saw it coming except the owner. Scratches only, and a lot of pride.

I have heard that the SP 700 will go over backwards quite easily while climbing steep hills.

 

Havent herd that. But add lots of torque, going up hill, and not paying atention, all together can lead to a bad day.

 

My buddy kept rolling his '99 wolverine almost every time we went out. He couldn't figure out why it was so unstable. I checked his tire pressure and found he had anywhere from 17 to 22 lbs in his tires. I bled them all down to 5lbs and he hasn't had any problems since.
