Finally got to do some trail riding on my Rancher that I’ve had for a few months. I have mainly used it for working around the property and running up and down the road at deer camp. First, I was very impressed with its capability. I was riding with my wife on her Suzuki 700 and a friend on a Kawi 650. Neither of these machines out classed my little rancher. I followed them through some terrain that I was unsure about but she handled it better than the bigger machines. The DCT worked well and everything just felt good. There were a couple of times I felt like I wanted a few more cc’s but in reality they weren’t needed. The stock tires performed ok but will be replaced soon. One question I did have concerns the transmission. We had a couple of water crossings that weren’t deep but we’re over the floor boards. Are these transmissions sealed pretty good? I don’t ride a lot of mud and water but I do know that occasionally we run into things like this that have to be dealt with.
