Any problem with rig could mean an 80 mile walk as bear bait. Must be a twin piston. which brand will give me leaste amount of problems

 

Must be twin piston?
You're only options will be the Polaris 600 & 700, ArcticCat 650, Kawasaki 700 Prairie, or the Suzuki Twin Peaks 700
The Kaw ans Suz are identical other than colors. The AC650 uses the Prairie650 engine from last year with their own chassis.

Go with one of the latter three mentioned please. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Dang, computer loaded the page so slow Patrick beat me to it.

All 3 have the same engine and trans. The AC is 633cc while the kawi and zuk are bored to 700cc.

The ac has irs, the other two are sra. It really comes down to the suspension setup that you want/need/feel comfortable on. If you want clearance for rough terrain and deep mud, go with the ac. If you want a low, solid, and planted ride with plenty of power then pick your color and go kawi (red/olive green) or zuk (yellow/blue).

Not sure what irs or sra mean. which of the two ac or kawi have the best (most ground clearance. and what about parts breaking that would kill the ride. not looking forward to a long hike out.
realy appreciate all the help.

 

IRS is independant rear suspension. SRA is a single rear axle. sra is like what you see on most quads, with shaft drive.

With irs comes greater ground clearance, a smoother ride, and better articulation. The downsides are that there are more parts to break/go bad, and you have a more top heavy, tippy machine.

 

get a yamaha

There are those that can't and those that do,
