I got a good deal on a set of tires and wheels Wednesday, they are 25x9.5-12 Outlaws on a set of STI wheels. It's way more tire then I wanted but after going through a little mud with them that almost got me stuck before, I am hesitant on getting rid of them now. They pull really good. I also got rid of the worn out stock shocks and installed a set from a Rancher 350,they firmed up the ride and gave me a two inch lift.

I like my 350 wolverine!
Plenty of power, reliable, pull start back up, and it's a sportier utility quad!
I've been abusing mine since I bought it new in 2000. I've buried it, submerged it, rolled it, flipped it, and it just keeps going!
I've replaced bearing in the axles and u joints but that's all. I have oversized dirt devil tires because the stock dunlaps loved to get punctured.
Most of my quad friends have sport quads and I can run through the trails just as fast for the most part. It is a little more work being 4x4 to maneuver but I manage.
I have had many other quads and this by far is my favorite followed by a 400ex with reverse.

The 1st gen Wolverine was another great quad, and imo, was the closet machine to the TRX300fw. I feel the TRX was more comfortable and certainly had more forgiving suspension. But, that Wolverine is just bulletproof. I have an '88 Warrior I built, and it has no trouble keeping up with a 450.
When people get onto the topic of "best quads" I always state the older bikes. In my mind, a "best quad" is one that is strong, reliable, atleast fairly comfortable, is loads of fun, and has two means of starting it. Who wants to get stranded in the woods with a dead battery or bad starter and not be able to pull that rope or kick that lever? Sure, there are LOTS of really awesome quads on the market now that squash a Warrior, TRX300fw, Wolverine, LT230e, etc... But I know all those will start, run, and not leave me stranded. And, I'll still have fun!

I grew up on a 1989 300 fortrax, mud bugs all around, the thing is bullet proof, goes any where. I beat the piss out if that Thing, rode it almost every day after school, endless anounts of hard hours on it, zero problems with it, it will fire up first or second kick right now and still runs like brand new, doesn't use a drop of oil. Best 4 wheeled machine ever built if your talking about reliability

I personally prefer older quads and trikes as far as everything but I can't deny that my grandpa's '04 Bombardier V-twin 400 is a nice quad. Haven't seen it get stuck, it's pulled a few trucks out of the mud, and it has a pullstart backup. The battery only went bad once, but overall it's great and is really smooth. Can't feel any bumps on it.

I remember years ago when my dad had to pull a guy up a rutted out hill about 300' tall, steep at the bottom, and "wavy" at the top. Guy was on a 200sx Honda, weighed a solid 250, my dad weighed at least the same and that ole 300 4x4 of his hauled it's weight, dad's weight, the other guy and his bike's weight, up that freakin hell. That Honda of dad's sounded like a banshee when he reached the top in 1st gear! Been a superb bike...

I bought an 07 400ex a few years ago and it was a nice quad, it just didn't impress me as much as my 06 KFX 400. I have sold the 300 I posted about. My friend offered to buy it and gave me my asking price.

All opinion obviously and I know the KFX has a bit more power than the Honda, it is 20 years newer technology after all. But the thing about the Honda is, it is a 30 year old engine design. Very proven, very reliable, great aftermarket support, plenty of them out there and the handling is among the best.
