-- Vinson Long Term Review --
With over 4100 Km on the machine I have had no major or minor issues with this machine. I am not a mud seeker or an extreme rider, but I don't baby the machine either. I have to go through some very nasty conditions sometimes to get where I am going. (Water up to the seat, mud holes, muskeg, boulders etc.) Only things I have had to purchase (Other than Engine Oil, filter & diff oil) so far is two center caps for the wheels & the CV boot protector that I cracked. I just purchased new front brake pads & will install them soon. This quad has been very reliable & has never let me down. Back in 2005 & 2006 this ATV usually won the shoot out of the 500cc clas ATV's in different magazines. Now after only 4 years the ATV is dated. I will definitely get IRS, front diff lock, FI & PS on the next ATV. One thing I do not like about this quad is how careful you have to be when descending very steep places. If one of the front tires grabs, then the steering will pull the handle bars hard & steer you off to the side. Careful descent with both hands firmly on the handlebars is always recommended. This is why I think Power Steering is so important. Overall a very good quad. I can't wait to purchase the next quad in a about 2 years, with all the new features!
Upgrades/Accessories
