this has been the worst atv I have ever owned, since I have owned it I have replaced the hydrostatic drive, centrifical clutch, water pump x2, the trottle lever siezes all the time, front bearing, it don't like to start in the cold, it don't like to start after a couple of days not running, lacks power, it is a 2001 and has around 8000km on it, all around bad bike. My wife drives it because I refuse to.... KAWASAKI all the way.
