So you know for a fact it was the circlip? I don't. I'm a Honda guy... just bought the YFZ cause they were out and I wanted 'em (something that the wife and I could ride now). I ain't whinning 'bout jack and I'll roost most any other 4-stroke in my neck of the woods. I guarantee I could get the TRX to perform just like the YFZ as far as running in the sand is concerned.

If they sold the YFZ/TRX equal to how I have mine setup, I take the TRX better or not. I ain't no hardcore pro with my name in lights like you ridely. I'm just a redneck hill runner.

And don't think I didn't think about the shee option. I went against it cause I would have built a full-on hillshooter and been able to do nothing more with it. I'm glad I did what I did.
