you know what you have , you know what it will take to fix it , you have to ask yourself if thats the quad you want, or do you want something else? YOU ANSWER THAT ONE!!!
If you want something else, YOU have to ask yourself another question, what kind of riding do you do? that will tell you wheather you get a 2 or 4 wheel drive, after you come up with those answers let us know and we will go from there !!! OK!!

like the others said, you really have to choices if you are going to get a new one, either the Kawi Prairie 650 or the new Grizzly 660R, both are bad machines, but be willing to drop 7 grand on either

and they dont care about mud cuz they can haul balls on dry gound...mud is only fun for a while in my opinion..then you get tired of getting messy and stuck and realize you can go way faster when yer not muddin'

I hate cleaning all the mud off, thats why I have a Banshee and a Raptor , I go so fast I out run the mud!!!

I have one of my boys that loves to go through every mud hole he sees, so I had him clean every little nook and cranny with a small brush , he had to polish on of the Blasters he rides, it only took twice and now he goes aroung the mud holes , he hates cleaning the bikes, I love a simple lesson

no I'm not crazy(well just a little)anyway I got tired of having to clean mud off my quads every week, ya I have my own steam cleaner but you still have to wash the last bit of gritt off by hand, I got tired of it so I made Tommy polish one of the Blasters and the Banshee, I did the Raptor now he goes around the mud (am I crazy?)

no, i dont think thats crazy. you got to keep them looking good. when i got my first ride i was just like Tommy, you name it i went through it /wwwthreads_images/icons/smile.gif then i got home and my dad made me clean it good. i still get them muddy, but just not as often, it only takes once to learn a valuable lesson.

you candies sound like a bunch of sista's in the local church choir. i don't wanna get dirty, puts my panties in a bunch. then WHY THE HELLL YOU WANT A QUAD/4X4 IF YOU AINT MUDDIN?????????? my shiz gets dirty thats why trhere soap and showers. whats it take 10 min to clean the bitcch. when you rebuild thats when you really clean em. but thats just general maintenance to me. hmmmm i wonder why they call em dirtbikes???? or all terrain vehicles

somebody has an attitude problem. just cause you like cleaning mud off your ride doesnt mean everyone else does. and just cause i dont get my muddy all the time doesnt mean i dont ride as hard as you do, or that i dont have as much fun as you do. i know they are meant to be dirty and muddy, but i like my ride looking good as well.

BADDATTUDE THAT IS!! i just like bustin chops. i just don't see the point of cleanin like mad to get all dirty again. i avoid puddles too, but that is cause i dont want to dump my bike when i hit a boulder in the middle. i use simple green or castrol degreaser stuff. spray a little on, not on chain or lubrication points. it works awesome. like new lookin awesome. but then i regrease kickstart pivot, rear brake pivot, lube chain. clean air filter every ride, takes like hour or two. buddy has 400 ex and it dont take him that long too clean his. to each his/her own
