x2..................don't know about now but the older ones were trash...

as a young man I had  kawasaki and honda motor cycles and couldn't tear them up...

I owned a 1995 kawasaki 400 4x4 and couldn't tear it up. now have a 2000 suzuki 500 4x4 and only had carburator problems with it. I bought both new... But I use an oil additive called "MILITEC 1" when I change the oil.
Carb problems has more to do with the ethonal in the gas and this was told to me by the small engine mechanic.

I wouldn't trade my Arctic Cats for another brand.  Traded in a Honda for my 2005 400.  Then drove 7 hours to pick up my 2004 650.  My hunting partner fell in love with mine and went and bought himself a 2005 500.
One of the best features is the rack system.  Both the dog box and the front platform are secured by 4 pins each.  I can remove both the rear box and the front platform in under 1 minute.
On the front platform I have the cargo bag, an ammo can, and camera tripod, all mounted securely to a 3/4 inch piece of plywood.  Remove 4 pins, lift it off. 
The rear dog hauler I made myself out of small angle iron and aluminum sides.  Whole thing weighs under 10 pounds and will haul 6 dogs.  Remove 4 pins and lift it off.
Can't beat the full independant suspension for riding all day.   2wd, 4 wd, and 4 wd with front locker.  12 incles of clearance and power plugs for all my electrical needs.

Hey D,

I think the Artic Cat and Suzuki are about the same 4 wheelers from what I have heard. My 2000 Suzuki 500 4x4 has been ridden hard and it keeps on ticking... I use synthetic oil and militec 1 oil additive and change it every other year whether it needs it or not... Grin

Im a big Kawasaki fan. I used to do small engine repair on mowers, and have always thought the Kawi's built the best motors, with Honda's a very close second. I own a 99 Kawi Prairie 400 4x4, that when I bought it showed over 10k on the odometer which quit working before I bought it, so no telling how many miles it really has. And I havent had a lick of trouble from it other than the fan temp sensor that went out. Kawasaki wanted 70bucks for the sensor, so I just wired in a $4 toggle switch to manually run the fan and it is still going! The front CV joints are knocking and need replaced, but I only paid $500 for the thing so I am running it till it wont go no more, then will probably step up to a newer Kawasaki!

We ride ours through whatever South Texas has to throw at us.  If we can push it over, over we go.  Cactus, white brush, small mesquites, you name it. 

As I mentioned above, the rack system is a real bonus.  I can come in from a hunt, pull the 4 pins, remove the dog box, and then drop my 25 gallon sprayer on the back and turn it into my weed killing machine.  All in a matter of minutes, very quick and easy.  I weld all my own gear, so my imagination is the limits when it comes to what I can weld and mount on the racks.  My brother has the factory built 2 man blind on his Arctic Cat.  He can drive to where ever he wants to hunt, unfold the canopy around the atv, and it's a hunting blind.  It's all in a self contained rack and carry system.  And when he wants to remove it, pull a couple of pins and it's off.

And my 650 has a Kawi built motor straight from their Prairie 650s, a very strong and reliable motor. 

Just about all of todays atvs are built solid, it's just those extras that make an owner happier with one brand versus another.   Wink

the older arctic cats have Suzuki motors. All way up to 07 or 08 models.  Arctic cat didn't have ther own motors til they came out with the h1s. Now all arctic cats have h1 motors and they are tough

ive got a 01 and a 04 polaris 500 and the only thing we've had to do with them is change batteries and new tires cause they still had stock tires on them. i personally like them alot more than other quads in those year models but i honestly think the grizzlies are probably the best bikes out there right now.
