eww belts. Use to work at a Can-Am dealership. I have seen how fast a blown belt can ruin a day and the clutch

a_tack · 01-24-2012, 06:29 PM

My local dealer still has 1 2009 Rubicon in a crate. $5894.00. They have a few 2010's and a few 2011 sports.

I love my foreman but if I had to go bigger I'd go with a 700 grizzly I have to buddies I ride with and both have grizzlies I think one is a 06 and the other a 09 so far they are holding up neither have had any problem other than a axel or 2 I've known both of them since there bikes were new. I'd like to see a bigger foreman or a mud ready bike 700 with IRS and a beefed up transmission and drive train. I'd buy one

idk much about the rincon cept that it lacks PS but i like to see honda put disk brakes on all there atvs utiltity the rear drum brake sucks imo and add FI to the rubicon

sspeckerwood · 01-24-2012, 09:03 PM

my 2012 rear drum brakes work better than any other drum i've ever had from honda. my dad's 2000 450 has never had one problem out of his....

it's funny, i haven't been around this forum very long, but this talk all happened last year at this time as well, the truth to the matter is that honda is not going to make any significant changes, THEY NEVER DO. If u guys want a big bore with irs and all the other fancy stuff then u might as well switch to another brand because u will be waiting a long time

I.R.S. = independent rear suspension.. You have a solid rear axle on your 450. There are front disk kits for your machine but im not sure about rears..

fishdaddy · 01-25-2012, 11:19 PM

i know i been looking at the front disk kits they look easy to install my breaks need a lot of work so i figure it would only cost a little more to convert to disk.that is if it ever gets running again.

about the brakes. i hear if you tell superatv that your missing a brake pad and some bolts that they'll ship you a whole new set of pads, bolt kit and some t-shirts for the mess up
