4 wheelers Polaris or yamaha

[Amokabs]

Honda, my 2 old fourtrax are just as Justin described. I really like the 2 wheel drive better cuz the turning radius is SICK! Small enough to get between trees, light enough to pick up and turn the opposite direction, i've had the back end floating and it still goes.  Up hills i could barely walk, they'll be replaced with Honda's.

What size engine are yall runnin in the hondas.   Hows the power??

[justincorbell]

I have 2 300's and a 350. The 300's are small but don't under estimate them, they have hauled over 600lbs multiple times and never left me stranded. The 350 is a good bit more roomy and just as reliable.

[justincorbell]

And as far as overall power, you aint gonna win a drag race on em but i have put 1000's of miles on my 94' and 96' 300's and they have never let me down. They rarely get stuck and when they do you simply get off and walk em out of the hole they are in....great machines.....best wheelers ever made in my opinion

I have a 350 Honda and it does everything I need. I'm 200 lbs plus a 40 lb box 3 60 lb dogs on the back and its 2wd. I go thru the mud and all just fine

I have an one of the first four tax Hondas my dad bought new. Still runs strong then have a 2001 rancher been through immortal heck still going strong. Have a polaris rzr and love it. But all my buddies have Hondas and grizzly 700s and I really like the grizzly. I would say get the grizzly or a Honda .

Which 650 do you have? 
I have a 2004 650 V2 that was treated badly by it's first owner so it has required some TLC when I first bought it and other than routine maintanance, it is a beast and it's my go-to ride.  I had bought a 2005 400 brand new before I got the 650 but when my daughter got old enough to drive one solo, I 'gave' her the 400 and that's when I bought the 650.  The 650 already had 2500 miles on it when I bought it, and it shows by looking at it.  The 400 on the other could almost pass as a demo bike.  The 400 has never had any issues what so ever.
My buddy fell in love with my 400 and went and bought a brand new 2005 500, back in early 2006.  He's a big guy, wanted something bigger and went last year and bought a brand new 700 TBX and he loves it.
My brother has a 2004 500 and he's never had an issue with it that I know you.
We take good care of ours but when we are hunting, we will run them up and over everything in front of us.  If I can push it over, I go over it.  Needless to say, I wouldn't switch to another brand.

And by the way, I sold my Honda to get some money for the Arctic Cat 400.  The Honda was a brute, but it was like driving a Sherman tank, rough riding, hard to turn, no ground clearance, manual shift, full time four wheel drive, and had to have it in neutral to start.  Solid machine, but so are my Arctic Cats, but with all the bells and whistles. 
One super bonus to the Arctic Cats is the rack system that allows you to mount just about anything to the front or rear and remove it or install it, in seconds.  I can go from a dog hauler, to an ag sprayer, to a stock atv in seconds, without tools.

I just got an 05 honda 350 it's been through hell I'm sure and still runs like a champ. Hard to beat Honda

  I started with a Honda big Red 3 wheeler, then went to a honda 350, then a honda 450. I now have a Yamaha 660 grizzly & just got a really good deal on a Polaris 800. I do like the Hondas & yamahas better but have not had any engine troubles with any of them.
  My problem with all of them is I hunt the marsh & brackish water rusts the frame out quick. We wash these bikes after every hunt, spray them down with diesel, WD-40 & they still rust.
  My only advise is dont buy a bike from a hoghunter who hunts the marsh.

Some people don't know this but if you squeeze the right break handle on the Hondas it will start in any gear!!!

Why won't mine?

[HBR]

It u must have an automatic I would go with Yamaha . But Honda rancher an foreman by far are the most reliable . They aren't the smoothest riding but won't leave u stranded . I've seen hundreds of bikes through the 13 years of working on a hunting lease and growing up in the rice fields myself . Yamaha has been the most reliable auto and Honda is just the best I've seen . Not the automatic Hondas though .

Got excited when I read this and went outside and tried lol

[Black Smith]

Don't know mine and all my buddies do but I guess all don't mine is a foreman 550 and all thiers are 420s.

[Easttex91]

Might be cause mine is older

[Black Smith]

My 2012 grizz used to start in gear by applying right foot brake or left hand squeeze, but now it wont do it. It will start in nuetral untill it get operating temp n then it has to b put in park. Any thoughts on cause n cure? Im thinkin it may b the xmsn safety switch crossed out when i nearly drowned it, but i havent tore into yet, same with my eps, probly the assist motor burned out or shorted, gonna look for a fuse block n c if i blew a fuse. The startn in gear though is what i would rather fix, i cant tell a diff in not havin pwr steer, vs havin it.

[haakdt]

i know its different but i had a 2002 kawasaki 250 2wd that was great i am over 200 pounds and it hauled me just fine plenty of speed and it was small enough to fit in tight spots the only problems i had with it were carbeurator and 2 hubs in the rearend and the rear end was from flat out ridin it into the ground i didint baby it it was a hunting 4-wheeler so i put it through everything i sold the 4-wheeler in late 2010 and all it needed then was rearend fluid and an oil change but as far as i know its still running

[dodgegirl]

I will never have another Polaris again. I was sponsored by mad dog motor sports to race a v twin Polaris 800 through mud bogs. That thing had so many problems it wasn't even funny. I would end up racing the brute force 750. By far the best bike I've had..

[Reuben]

anyone ever use militec 1? it is an oil additive...I use it when I change oil and filter on my 4 wheeler...
