Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Hey.! Tell me about 4X4 Quads

Honda has a 4 wheeler with a solid rear axle and they also make one with a independent rear suspension.

Not sure but one of the models has a manual foot shift.


I personally would not want a machine with a foot shift or a solid rear axle.


Give me the Yamaha auto and the uber suspension. Absolutely no contest for how I use a 4-wheeler.


I know guys that have both Yamaha and Honda(old style, foot shift, single rear axle) and they much prefer the Yamaha for actual off-roading.

Haven't heard of anyone blowing a belt yet on the Yamaha and can think of 4-5 guys that have Grizzlies, maybe 20-30k combined miles and no belt issues.


I LOVE the Grizzly for chasing cows in the hills. Can't think of anything I'd change.

Mine is a 2011 model though so can't comment on the new machines, hopefully they haven't cheapened them up.


All I do is change the oil every couple years and run it. It just flat works.
