I have the 2012 menards ys 700 and love it. Bought it used a few years back. Have replaced the sheave a few times due to cheesy weights but all in all happy. My original tires were worn and i put radials on and it helped increase speed. Not a powerhouse but can get 49mph on gps downhill and about 45ish on flat grade. Speedo says 53mph at 49mph gps. Was previously owned at a junkyard and the workers ran around stripping parts so it had a rough early life and plastic is faded. Leaks oil out of output shaft seal for driveshaft but i jest check it often. Bought an 05 Polaris Ranger 700xp thinking i was upgrading but it had multiple efi issues and the i prefered the yardsport so dumped the Ranger. Not saying Rangers are bad but my 05 was a POS. I see it is for sale again on marketplace now. lol

Nice. What year is that one? I have a 2008 ( first year) that i’m working on and upgrading. It has low miles but looks like it’s been to hell and back 3 times lol. I’ll make some videos on it. I just intalled a Mishimoto oversize radiator. Had to make a couple brackets but it fits right in. I upgraded a few parts with OEM Yamaha. Going to put slugs in thecwet clutch and shims to give it liwer gearing. Were you in low range here?

It's a stock 2011 with 28 inch bighorn. Yes he was in low. It's been a good machine eats batteries but other than that still going strong. I'd like to see the video of yours as well

@@chacefamilycycles4929 ya even the Rhino’s had a poor charging system but not to a point they ate batteries. Does it seem to run hot? Maybe the fan runs to much and that is part of the issue. I think you can buy a high output RM Stator that should help with your charging issues. Also the run really crapy wiring and conectors. Replace the battery cables and terminals with good wires and that may help. I will see where mine is at and let you know if I have to modify it. Good to here it’s holding up.

Its is a very good machine. Parts swap over from Yamaha rhino so they are very easy to come by. It's no speed demon or power house but it is very capable and dependable. Hope u get 1 and post up videos of it

If you are your own mechanic then this is for you. If you need a warranty or customer service your s**t out of luck. This company stinks on those two things.👎👎👎👎👎
