Im looking to get a new atv....Whats a good utility atv from yamaha...Im looking for something with speed and power..comfort wouldent hurt....I ride some tough trails..hills...mud..rocks...you name it If anyone has any suguestions It would help alot

 

Are there any??

 

Wolverine, Grizzly,Kodiak...... You want me to name the whole line-up. I would go with the Wolvy, but thats my riding style. You should give more info and we will try to give more help. Ultimatley it comes down to you as a rider and what you will be comfortable with. The Wolvy is more sporty, the others are more utility. Good luck!

 

I have a kodiak 400 4x4 i love it its a very capable machine i ride on rivers as wellas trails some of which are solid mud i have a winch and some of the trails require its use often but i ride with alot of friends who own just about all the brands and all sizes sport and utility and i go everywhere they go. i hav no complaints

 

yea my buddy (Yamaharideronly) has a 03 Kodiak 400 4X4. its got some ***** and can hang with the bigboys

 

yea definatly more info, what kind of riding do you do, do you just ride for pleasure, how big are you, you say a utility quad do you actually do any kind of work with it. Im a big wolverine fan theres also so much room for modification and improvement upon them Ive taken mine through tough terrain plenty of times. Unless your buying a quck for sticky deep heavy mudidng the majority of the time im a wolverine fan all the way

 

how much money you got to spend? lol

 

I do alot of riding it will have to be something that can put up being rode about everyday weather it's work around the property or trail riding....as far as money goes that is no issue [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]........as far as using the atv for around the far i use them for hauling wood etc and getting around on the property.

 

If money is no issue, get the biggest and best they have. That is the Grizz. Very fast, easy to mod, pulling power like a DC9. and can climb a wall if the tires would hook up. The first thing everyone will tell you is to change the stock tires. I haven't and I have not had any problems with mine, It won't get stuck, and there is no "Tippy" feeling like some of the girls on here will complain about. I powerslide mine on pavement and have never worried about flipping it. Ride it like you stole it and have a good time. FOr the most reliable ATV I have ever owned, My .02 is the Grizz. I love mine.

 

I disagree, id go with the wolverine. the wolverine is more then enough for chores like hauling wood and other chores. I know people who have plowed all winter with their wolverine without a problem. in the woods/trails i think youll have a lot more fun haulin around. its got plenty of ground clearence at 8.7 inches of travel. I like the semi-auto better then fully auto too cause its more interesting. I mean i have a fully manual that i love on the zilla but for a trail quad you take in the mud manual is a pain when you get stuck. I reccomend the CVboot guards from oxlite and the 3 piece Dimondplate skid package from highlifter.com. It give the bike a great look and protects it from just about anything. Ive beaten my skids brutally and other then one or two gashes from big sharp rocks it has not bent or weakened at all. I have had no problem running it all winter and all summer. Only time i had it overheat and need to be shut down was after taking it in a town parade on an almost 100 degree day doing pavement donuts and burnouts with it. Thats also with the pipe and engine work so that makes it run hotter. before i got my snowmobile I always took it out all night in the snowstorms on the roads Ive taken it through powdered snow up to the lights in 4x4 without an overly large ammount of trouble. New tires would greatly increase traction in real muck or snow but thats gonna be the same with any yamy you get. if you have any other questions about it let me know I have a pic of mine i can send you if you want to see it with the guards.
