I know they are tough quads. But don't buy anything with a belt. You will regret it. Semi-auto or manual is your best bet.

To my knowledge this has a vbelt. why do you think i would regret it?

Belts are notorious for slipping a lot. A real pain if they get wet or something as well. Semi-auto quads with a gear shaft are much much better.

Ya they slip when wet and can and do leave you stuff in the woods..

Also the zuki vinson 700 motor I be leave is still the Kawi motor also..

if you plan on fishing with this, listen to him, I have a belt driven vinson that I would put up to his 400z anyday of the week. Look it all depends on your needs or wants, any vinson is a great bike, we just need more info of what your intentions are...then you can decide what is right for YOU....Don't listen to guys with track bikes....MUD is GOD!

speaking of belts for these machines ... i'm looking for info on replacing one. Anyone have knowledge, diagram, tool needed for the pullies?

I have an 06 Vinson auto, it's belt drive, and I have never had any slip unless I was in 3 feet of water and then not everytime. I bought this bike new and enjoy it everytime I ride. The vinson has really good gearing in it. I can go places in 2 low that my buddies can barely go in 4 wheel drive. Very good dependable bike. I ride hard and it has never let me down. I am now needing to finally adjust the valves. 6 yrs old and still needs nothing. Executioner tires will get you where you really shouldn't be.

Im an executioner fan myself.

i had a 2007 vinson auto which i bought new. put almost 15000kms on it and replaced the belt once, at 3000kms when a seal went in the transmission and let oil in around the belt. awesome machine and tough as nails! would recommend one to anybody.
