I have a 98, basically the same. If you didn't have sway bars it would be to tippy in corners. If you want to do extreme crawling or something you could always take out the sway bar.

Hey I have a 2004 Sportsman 500 and I love it! I have one question though.. When looking for OEM parts there are 2 sportsman 500 vins listed.. one ending in aa and one ending in aq.. Can you tell me which is mine. I have the straight up and down shift pattern. Please help! Thanks

@chevyman1500ful Tough question. Neither are on our list of 'favorites'. Although it depends on the year ATV you're looking at, we love the Suzuki King Quad, Yamaha Grizzly, and Kawasaki Brute Force.

But with the shifter on right side maybe it is more safety so you don't give it throttle when shifting to early or what not

Some manufacturers use the (i) to refer to Independent - as in independent suspension.

I like the brake lever on the left side owned a 700 king quad and Yamaha big bear and I couldn't stand the front brake on the right handle bar wear the throttle is. its so much simpler to have the brake on the left hand bar. I love my 700 Polaris, very comfortable, and easy to operate on open logging roads and trails. good for hunting and recreation

Sadly, as we dumb down the controls for a machine we also dumb down what is required to operated a dangerous and potentially dangerous machine.

sportsman vs grizzly what are the advantages of each compared to each other
@ATVTVCOM11 жыл бұрын
That's the problem with single lever braking systems! On something like a King Quad, you can keep your thumb on the throttle, a right hand on the front brake, your foot on the rear brake and shift with your left hand. So basically a left hand shifter gives you the ability to keep a hand on the throttle and brake while you shift.....

@1728jeff7928 Let me put it this way: The Grizzly power steering is better (not over-powered). It has a better 4wd system that allows you to chose the mode you prefer. It has dual brake controls. It has a better transmission. It is more reliable. The Sportsman is more comfortable and cheaper.

Sorry, I'm no help...
True and unfortunate.
Those people shouldn't be riding.....
All design flaws in my opinion
