    Probably the same stuff more often. Things don't get weird till performing a hard right hand turn using your index finger on the throttle.

    The vinson is a good reliable machine, I had one before the King quad, the only thing I broke on it was a front cv joint. They are uber efficient on gas to. Solid axle is all good especially if ya keen on a lot of high speed drifting lol, they don't tend to pick up the inside rear wheel like a IRS quad.

    Quad bikes are generally unruly things under load and with passengers.

    I spent the day on the bosses brand new week old 500cc Kingquad. It is awful. Just awful. I'm riding it because my bike is in service and I notice the boss has taken another bike and does not want his back. The CVT transmission is set to the wrong rev range. Sounds like a sewing machine and feels like it is in low ratio. The new suspension is epic, the brakes also impressive. That gearing is spastic. You either have no power at all or your jerked around like a 2 stroke dirt bike.

    He bought it because it would be easier to trade and I suspect it will be. Some time next week.

    Can't comment. My 750 is a 2010 and it rips, will do wheel stands from a dig for as long as you can balance it providing there's enough traction to get it up.

    How the cvt works is quite basic and the rev/gearing can be changed by reducing the roller weights in the primary clutch and by changing the spring in the secondary.
