well i think i made the best decision of my life!! instead of buying a ds650 , i bought a 04 honda rancher 4x4 in mint shape from my uncle for 1500!!! it was a good deal because i rode it more than he did. but whats some mods that are worth doing? i was thinking hmf , k@n , bigger main jet, 2 inch lift kit, hl lift springs and 28s. what else would be a good investment?

rich450es · 01-29-2012, 10:43 AM

a good quality winch . and good skidplates if youre going over a lot of rocks and logs

aubryblaster97 · 01-29-2012, 10:46 AM

yea, i was thinking a winch. but is it easy to snorkel a 350 rancher?

rich450es · 01-29-2012, 10:50 AM

its not to hard .....all you need is a few hours and $30 worth of homedepot pvc pipeing and fittings .

if you do snorkle it and ride in deep water dont forget to run all of your vent lines up to atleast your bars or better yet up the side of your snorkle

They're very easy to snorkel, about like a 450, i did our 450 in about an hour and a half and i was taking my time. But also, that bike isn't going to turn 28s without a gear reduction in any real mud. Maybe in water or watery mud but nothing thick. A gear reduction is expensive, but they are so worth it!

to each his own, but I personally don't get the snorkle, if you wanted a boat, just go buy a boat, canoe or something, even with a snorkle, vent lines, etc... you are bound to get water in where it doesn't belong, pull rope, brake seal, oil seal, etc... I am sure it is fun, but..... but.
