Yeah, these are great quads. I have a 91 also. Still going strong after 22 years

There pretty good 4wheelers. Only thing I didn't like about mine was the difference in gear ratio from front to back. If you run the same size tires front and back on hard surfaces it will bind up bad. It also made for poor steering in mud as the front end tends to push rather then bit and turn. Keep an eye on the timing chain. Mine let loose and jumped time when I shut it off once. I have sense up graded to an even more bullet proof atv the old trx 350 foreman. Only atv with a solid front axle and a 350x engine stuffed in it.

I have 3 of those bikes! Dad bought his 300 new in 99. Mine is an 88, and I've done a mild build on it. And, my mother uses another 88 around the farm. They are the best quad ever made. Fun, tough, fairly nimble, and easy to maintain. I've figured my dad's to have over 30k miles on her, and I've never been into the engine. Only things not original are the rear brakes, tires, and air filter. Hell, the 14 year old factory battery still works!

The worst thing about them are the drum brakes. This one has the high lifter disc brake conversion but the rears are gone. It's not mint but still runs strong!

Lmao I don't think you even need brakes for a 300 though! Just drop gears to first, slow slipping on the clutch. If you REALLY need to kill speed drop first to super low and hold on! LOL
We've got 2 300's currently and have had A LOT more of them. All my buddies started off with them and I've done so much up keep on their bikes,,,, I mean shoot, I had to change the plugs one time! LOL
Th only problem we've had with them other than them being heavy and not floating is the rear end bearings going out. But that's a given when riding the river
too many bikes to count. too little time on hand.

I have had seven quads. I am not saying this particular model is the best quad ever, but I loved my 2006 Kawi Brute Force 650 sra. Wished I never sold it!

I've never had any issues with the drums on ours. The key is to run EBC "G" series shoes front and back, and replace EVERY brake seal/o-ring. Also, most people don't know how to reseal the rear drum cover to the barking plate properly, and water easily gets in. I ride through mud and water (not mud bogging, that's just asking to kill a bike) and I never get water in my brakes.

Teaching quads a lesson
I agree that these were THE best quads ever made. Not the fastest, smoothest or quickest to stop but they are very capable and easy to maintain. And they might be the only quad with a kicker as a back up. I've got two 1998's and run them in the unforgiving muskeg up here. My boy added a snorkel to get a little deeper on one of them. Just have to maintain them more.

That is what I am saying. All of the new quads are more powerful but I bet they aren't close in reliability.Originally Posted by coolpool

Yeah man! They aren't huge, bulky, top heavy, or maintence hogs. Just a great quad. You can work on the farm or job site all day, and still hit the trails with it afterwords. I love mine. Don't ride it much anymore, other then farm work. But, she'll never go anywhere.
