i`m looking for a new guad. 1. How does it handle in the woods.2. what about low end power i know it has plenty of top end but i also need good lowend, for tight woods and medium steepness hills. 3. is there any way to get more low end out of it 5. how stable is it, 6. last but not least how much did you pay for yours off the showroom floor.
thanx for any help

1) If you are a decent rider, you will be able to ride the shee in the woods. It lacks low end power, so there is alot of clutch work involved.

2) NO low end. You can shave the head or buy a cool head to give more compression. Lower the front sprocket to 13 and you will have decent low end. Buy some low to mid-range pipes and good tires, then you are good to go.

3)Look above

5)It needs a better suspension, plain and simple. Get a wider rear axle and new a arms and shocks and you are good. But stock it needs a little help.
