I live in SC and in case you live under a rock we had a little bit of rain. Drove through 2 feet of water like it wasnt even there. Had to put my feet up on the wheel wells to keep from getting soaked.
My problem is the thing just wont die. I live on our farm and I ride the HELL out of it. Im usually on it at least 3 or 4 days a week. I have literally buried the thing in mud before. Im talking the mud was seat level. We pulled it out and it just kept going. Not once have I had a problem shifting gears. Not to mention it starts on the first try every time. Doesnt matter if its 110 outside or -10.
As a guy I like buying new toys. Hell who doesnt? Honda is emasculating me! Im not allowed to buy a new ATV because the one I have runs like I bought it last week. It would be different if I had to put new parts on it cause they kept breaking but everything is stock. The only maintenance I do is send it off to the local Honda dealership to have it serviced it every year before hunting season.
In closing I would suggest sending all your stuff off to China or maybe Vietnam for production and assembly. Maybe then I can buy a new ATV every 2 years instead of driving one thats not even from this millennium.
