I plan on changing it and the differentials when I bring it home in two month, that's when I stop going up on the weekends, I hate the cold! No fun just sitting in a trailer and because I don't have any real trails I can't ride it in the snow it would be really dangerous not knowing where holes, large rocks and downed trees are! I hope to mark some paths in the future and remove some of the downed trees. Its time consuming and I try to have a little fun and not work all the time when I'm there. Have a safe trip to Denver.

So I fixed the issue of the fender being to close to the new tire. There is a large flanged Torx screw on the foot rest that holds it in place. Loosed it, push the plastic forward and bingo, problem fixed! Easiest fix of my adult life!

I'm a bit surprised that the manufacturers would make such a difference. They must know that it could be a problem on some quads. But it certainly seems thats the case. Anyway, I'll  play with it next weekend. I'm sure I can figure something out. The plastics are very flexible and I should be able to shift it or maybe like you said elongate the holes. I'll bring a dremmel with me. Trimming will absolutely be the last resort. Like you siad I don't need much. I did drive it but only up and down my driveway (it's 1,000 ft long) because I didn't want to take a chance going over any large bumps which could have made it hit. I wish I had the time to do it yesterday, but I had a lot of chainsawing that I had to get done as I was out of firewood. I'll post some pictures on all the trees that I have down from Hurricane Sandy, there has to be a hundred of them through out the property. Thanks again for your help.

They are 25x10x12. The stock ones were 24x10x12 so the width should be the same. i really think its the plastic alignment because its only one side. The left side is fine. Anyway, worsrt case is I have to trim the fender. Curious, what is the width on the ones that you tried?

I use it more for utility purposes like cutting and skidding trees

Just got back, it went well, have one small problem. I did'nt need the piece of 4x4 my floor jack had plenty of travel, good to keep around though. They look awsome!!!! Now the problem; one rear tire almost touches the outside edge of the fender when I sit on it. Theres about 1/4" clearance. I didn't have time to play with trying to loosen the screws on the plastic and see if I could shift it. Any ideas?

The tires will come installed on the rims. Was it Grizzly or the Kymco you changed the fluids on? When I bring mine home this winter I paln on changing mine and I'm curious how much of a pain it might be.

I forgot all about the gauge in the tool kit! Well the one I bought is the dial type which I like better then the stick type anyway. I'm going to try going down to 5 psi this weekend and try it.  I really like the overall size and width too, it's one of the things that sold me on it. It felt more managable to me, especially since I had never rode one at that time.

I had (still have a bit) the same problem of it being hard to go into gear, especially reverse. Wasn't
(isn't) too bad and never even thought of ajusting the linkage. Did that seem to help any? I just thought that is was because it was new. The stalling issue is what really concerned me mostly because I was worried it might get worse and possibly do it while riding which could be dangerous. I doubt either of us will regret our purchases either. They way I look at it is, I wasn't going to spend more on one so I would have done without, unless I happen to stumble onto a used machine that I felt I could trust for a decent price. I did look around a bit, but you really never know what your getting.
