MO
I have owned Honda 300's (2wd and 4wd) and Honda 450's 4wd. All manual shift. I recently turned my first wrench on a Honda quad. At 6000 hard miles, I adjusted the valves and replaced the spark plug on my 2002 foreman 450. Keep in mind, I went out to the shed and started it for the first time in two weeks when it was about 6 degrees and it fired right up. I also have a 2004 Suzuki Eiger. I was cheap and thought that it would compete with the Honda. It is quicker, but the quality is not there. I have had tranny and carb issues from shortly after new. I put a jet kit in the carb, and it is better (not buring off spark plugs any more, ran way to lean with stock jet and the suzuki dealer told me to "be easier on it"). When I am not working a quad, then I am playing on it. I have to be easy on the Eiger or I break it, but the Hondas will take a beating and like it.
