    My dad bought one new off the showroom in 04, he only rode it on one church campout and 2 hunting trips then parked it in his garage. He gave it to us a couple years ago with 17 hours on it. Unfortunately he never treated any fluids for storage so we had to strip it down and go through everything on it and replace all hoses and rubber parts, the oil and trans fluid turned to sludge, had to replace brake calipers and tires. Got everything cleaned up and put back together. Its been a great quad since then.

    I have an 04 400 awd with 1093 hours, 6700 miles. It's been awesome.

    I have a 2004 sportsman and I just fixed the stuck throttle cable. I’m gonna test it out later next week.

    Funny enough I'm building up a 05 400 for my mother in law, one thing I hated was the factory rake from the rear stiff factory springs. Ended up doing a 2" lift on the front to level it and hold a plow properly. Bike has 40 hours of run time on it and after a carb rebuild along with some wear items it runs pretty good. I liked how quiet the 400's were factory. My 17 570 is loud by comparison I wish it was quieter like this old 400

    I have an 04 sportsman 400 as well, and that sucker performs like a champ, it is faster, and does way better in the mud than my 2014 Sportsman 500 or my Ranger 800. These machines are amazing

    Love how he says in the beginning “just picked up this new sportsman, 0 miles”, but then at 0:43 he says “yea this has probably seen a lot of miles, hard miles”. Check your facts

    I like when you do videos on atvs . To many side by side stuff out there. Not all of us can afford or even want a side by side. I stop subscribing to atv world for this reason. All they did was side by side stuff. Any way keep up the great atv videos. Thanks

    I had a 98 Sportsman 500. So glad I ditched that thing. Dealing with the finicky elcecro-magnetic 4wd system and god awful strut system up front was always a huge pain. You always had to take off way too much stuff (plastics especially) to get at anything.

    • @loveracing1988
      @loveracing1988 Před 6 lety

      What do you expect? It's the size and pretty much weight of the sportsman 700 but a lot smaller of an engine. It will still do 45 to 47 mph, if you want to go faster than that you have to pay to play.

    Ya so let me ride it for about ..oh 20 minutes or so ... it'll shit the CV's as quick as the brakes come apart in a water crossing ....yes I've owned one .
    Totally lost count of how many times I've towed these Polaris Dollar Store junk quads out of the bush with smoked belts, cv failures and transmission carnage ...... you guessed with my Honda .
