Most of the guys I hang around with ride Honda 350. I know only too well the problems with the es modles. I am seriously looking at the 09 350 kodiak(Grizzly), but cant find any, or very little info on this site. Dose the lack of a low range gear make this size of wheeler a bad choice? We prodominently drive 350s because of the tight trails in our neck of the woods. Any one on here own one of these, or have an opinion, good or bad?
So if you go up to the 450, 550 or 700....they are too wide for your trails? Looks like you need to buy a 700 AND a new chainsaw to widen up them trails! :icon_ goofy:
I have been looking at the 450, but it is alittle more expensive, being my first wheeler is the 350 a bad choice? I am not new to 4wd, i just sold my 03 jeep rubicon fully moded. I like to crawl and low is good for this but is this machine powered that low?
I love my 350.
You do have to do a little work to them to turn the big tires over but I dont think not having a low range is bad.
I have 27" Vampires on mine and I can turn them over in 4wd, diff lock with no problem in most mud.
Definatly go with the IRS..... its alot more comfortable
Just do everything to it that I have listed in my signiture and you will hang with the big bores no problem:nana:..... Except for a drag race and a wheelie competition that is:icon_ nono::icon_ goofy:
That is true I forgot about wieght. I only wiegh about 150 so its fine with just me but with 2 people it does lose a little bit. But I am over 6ft tall and its comfortable
The guys that ride the 700s will tell you they can go anywhere the 350s can go. I will vouch for that as I ride with two other 350/400 riders. On the otherhand, I can go where they can't/won't go...and have done so many times....it gets lonely sometimes...
Later....
Thanks for all the info. Because I am a bigger guy, i went with the 450. The vids were awsome Butch450, loved the water stuff. Pick it up on Friday.:banana:
Me to you wont be sorry, have had two 450's now but if you ever do ride a 700 or 550 you will be hooked!!!
