I will have to agree I am partial to Hondas

I have ridden several and some of the other brands just don't have the umhf!

I know! I know! My bro in law has brain washed me.

Actually he has enlightened me with some facts that are astonishing.

Some of which I won't elaborate on do to the overwhelming support of the yamerhammers!

Even the myth of tires has been over looked.

We'll leave it at that! [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

I've seen gumbo mud reak havoc on these new heavy booty Hondas. I would put some better grip tires on the Honda because the one's that originally come on it look like $25 tires. Long Live Yamaha's, I've had my Timberwolf 4X4 since '94 w/o any problems. The lighter the bike in gumbo mud the better.

ive got a 2000 rancher 4x4 also. last year when it was sooooo cold, i had a problem with my choke freezing. must have gotten some water in the cable when my son pressure washed it or sumthin. other than that, no problems. been a great machine. if i remember correctly, the owners manual says it may be necessary to use the primer bulb on the carb on cold mornings. but i never had to use mine except when my choke was frozen and i couldnt pull it out. then i just gave it a couple of pumps and usually got it started. once the carb warmed up, the choke would move fine.

I hate it when you get a "BS" anwer to a repair problem. I would much rather the service person simply admit that they did not know how to fix it. My problems on a Honda have been just the opposite. It floods if choked in anything except very cold conditions. Normally, it does not need much choke to start
