I'm assuming it works similar to a car, it assists steering so if something failed you would still have the ability to steer? Its not like you would have to take it to the shop immediately, right? Perhaps if it broke you could remove the mechanisms and just have a 4 wheeler with out power steering.

 

I will be happy to sum this up with just two words = HELL YES

 

--
If you ride standing up much--and you should in the rough stuff--then it's very valuable for control and resistance to kickback. What would one kickback do to you if it pitched you over the front? When my wife was riding and hit a rock in her Polaris several years ago, the twist caused by the rock threw her bike to the side, up a bank, and rolled over on her. It could have been worse, but she did have a crushed wrist.

I guess I consider it not only a convenience, but a safety feature.

That is correct...

 

i see alot of 700 grizzly at the yamaha place in my hometown that have the eps and they seem to steer great i have a 660 grizzly with power steering and it sucks on the tar in 4wd u can barely steer the thing

 

You have a 660 with power steering? How can I get one on my bike?

I'll be getting EPS on my next wheeler.

 

I tried a 700 EPS and really liked the EPS option. It wasn't overly light but made the slow speed stuff much easier, especially with the front diff locked.

Since my 450 is lighter it seems less necessary. Also no power steering helps build up the guns so you look more buff at the beach.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

i have a 700 suzuki i have winter tracks on it some times i fine it hard to steer , i was thinking about getting a 750 suzuki with power steering , is there any problems with power steering.

 

Depends where your from , up here in Canada P.S is a $1000 option, not worth it to me since I could get awsome tires, rims and a winch for that.

Never rode a atv I thought was hard to turn.

If you find a atv is to hard to steer maybe knitting is more your kind of sport. LOL

 

Power steering in the Arctic Cat 1000 is just great! Felt like I was on my 250R Honda. I would get power steering on the Yamaha 4X4 for sure. Would also increase resale value. Once had a Yamaha Warrior and the steering was nothing to write home about.
