I think I have a problem guys...
I've been through 7 big bores and 1 350fw in the last 18 months-
01 TRX 350 FW
05 KQ700-
06 Brute 750-
05 Brute 750-
07 Outty 650 max (for 1 week)
06 SP 800-
08 Outty 800 XT
08 650 Max XT


The good news is- I've been trading or selling up since the 350 fw- I haven't put any of my owne money towards the purchase of the next atv- except for aftermarket bolt-ons like tires / rims and such...

is there an ATV anonymous ?
I'm the poster child for ADHD!

is it time for meds?

at least I don't have to change my avatar!

I have been on a similar tear buying/selling ATV's trying to find the right one for me and my GF. The one difference is...I do not enjoy the process. So, yes Beergut, you should seek help (ATVFA-ATV Flippers Anonymous).

Troy: As much as I like your Grizz, I don't think I'm ready to invest/take care of something that new. I'm really shooting for the $3500 range and looking at some of these 2004-2005's. You should get it listed though so you can get your money back. Someone is crazy not to take that deal!

Beergut: I know they all have their +/-, but if I can't find a Honda that suits me, what's your preference Polaris or BF? I took your BF (not sure which one) for a spin, and really liked it.

I know this is now completely off topic, so I'll leave it at that. Thanks for yur input. Hope to see you out there soon with my new (to me) toy

 

Anyone riding on sat Thnaks John

 

I honestly think you'd be happier with a polaris- the brute is a great, very fast atv but can be temperamental with its twin carbs and cvt trip switch- which always seemed to give me problems. We've been on many rides together and you seem like a mellow "take it as it comes" kinda rider who enjoys a soft seat- plus, I think you'll like the feeling of riding the popo, which makes you feel like you’re riding “in” the atv and not “on top” of the atv- which is how a can-am feels (like you're on top of it)- just a different feeling for me.
My biggest peeve with the popo was the drive train chatter- which is normal and really not a big deal- but it drove me crazy! I punished my popo in deep mud & water and never had a single malfunction (stock by the way) but I had to pull the carbs of the brute 3 times to get it to run right, and the brute has an annoying belt trip switch in the cvt cover that will “trip” for no reason some times leaving you in “limp” mode until you clear the code- this happened to me twice even with the low miles- But I did love the brutes raw power- from 0 to 60!

Sorry for the long post!

 

hey john- I'll be getting home sunday sometime- so I won't be out this weekend, but I will definitely be riding the following weekend!!!!!

 

Good points. I definitely prefer smoother ride and less maintenance. I'm gonna go try. A polaris tomorrow.

Since I curently have no ride, I'm out for this weekend.

 

I'll be happy to ride with you if you want. Thanks Otto

 

feel free to park at my house if you want guys-

 

Hi beergut.
Did you mount your cam on the helmet, yet? If yes, how did you do that?
There are so many strips, pads etc. and nothing works for me, to install it on the helmet. Maybe I'll use drywall screws. But first I'll put helmet on my head.

 

My cam came with a helmet strap in the package- it works great.
Also came with a bar mount and a velcro mount-


good luck getting dry wall screws into cement

- you left it wide open!
