Polaris Magnum 425 4x4
This is the other ATV i traded my Gio X33 for..In my opinion this is THE one i traded it for and the Baja was a bonus since around here even in the non running condition its in this ATV is still worth around 12-1500. I am not sure what year it is since im not quite sure where the vin number/year plate is on it. Plus i didnt get much of a chance to look today since i was at my buddies place for other reasons.
It has a Warn 4200 lb winch on an aftermarket winch carrier mount and is in overall decent condition considering it has been sitting outside for who knows how long... http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...909_190701.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...909_190645.jpg General plan for this ATV: High Lifter suspension lift kit to gain 2" of height for better ground clearance Replacing the stock headlights in the front bumper with a pair of Rigid Dually lights from an old off road project Possibly replacing the main headlight with another pair of duallys or a single 6" LED light bar bolted to a filler plate in place of the headlight Or retrofitting the stock headlight with an LED or HID kit Dirt bike handle bars and handguards Twist grip throttle conversion if possible Rear carrying case |
Is that the two-smoke version?
A twist grip is fun in straight line racing, but not in technical areas where you're turning. It's no fun trying to steer and twist the throttle. |

I'll be interested to hear how you like riding with the twist grip.

Congratulations on your acquisition. :tup:
I own a Honda XR650L, and I used to own an ATV. I agree with Weld. The ATV will twist the handlebars in ways a motorcycle never would. The thumb throttle is a definite advantage for an ATV. Personally, I would never install a twist throttle on an ATV. ;) |

I have a similar issue with ATV throttles, and my wife's hands are too small to comfortably operate an ATV throttle for long periods. I installed something like this on our quads: https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p...ottle-Extender
|
BTW, I think I found them at Walmart.
|
That throttle extender is pretty nice. :)
|
Thanks for the suggestion Weld i will def need to check it out.

I have a 250 hummer dirt bike ,and installed an atc 200 carb ,cable and thumb throttle on it because I had everything laying around .Anyways ,that thumb throttle is the worst part of that bike ,my thumb gets severe cramps from using it ,but ,no matter what I can always drive it home by letting go of the bar and just pushing the throttle with my hand when I get cramped up with it .A twist throttle will be installed before I run it again .

That's the benefit to a throttle extender on a quad. If your thumb gets sore, you can always use the palm of your hand.
|
If you are riding on smooth roads, the twist throttle will work okay. However, if you ride in rough terrain, the ATV will pull on the handlebars very hard, and you will have your hands full just hanging on, let alone working a twist throttle. ;) That thumb throttle extender is the ticket. :tup:
