Anyone who owns or has owned a 2007-present Big Bear 400 4x4 how do you like it? I'm looking for everyones opinions. What are the pros and cons, likes/dislikes, ups/downs and good or bad experiences you've had? Any known problems with the newer Big Bear 400's? Rear diff seal leak was one I heard. Any input is appreciated.

Thanks.

 

I own a 2008 400 IRS Big Bear...it will be two years old in April...I have been completely happy with it. I have put between 8-900 miles on it all trail riding. I have had no issues. Very happy with the tire package that comes on it (ITP Mud Lites). I intentionally chose the Big Bear because I did not want an automatic. My brother has a kodiak auto and seems to bog down at times. The locking differential had worked flawlessly. Very happy with it...good luck in your decision.

We have a 2007 and a 2008, love them. We also have three 360 kawasakis, two are good one really sucks. Have a suzuki eiger and it is a soild atv but can't compare to the big bear. I think it is the beat on the market. I have had one ujoint go out and that was because of lack of greasing.
