Hello all,
Just bought a 2013 sportsman 400 HO. It's our first ATV, so went with something basic and dependable, and something my son (15yrs) and I can have a lot of fun with. We have 200 acres of woods behind us, and countless farms around the area. I spent some time today driving around to some of the farmers houses and asking them if I could ride around their land when their crops are down. I was surprised that evrrywhere I went, people said "sure" and didn't mind at all, it pays to be polite and ask permission! So far both my son and I LOVE this quad!! It's powerful enough for anything we want to do, or any hill we want to climb around this area. Goes great in 2 or 4 wheel drive, actually flies at about 58mph with me on it (225lbs). I just ordered a winch along with front and rear brush guards because even though it can easily plow down little saplings as we make our own trails through the woods, the guards would make sure I don't break a light or fender. There's a swampy area too that I won't go in until we get the winch. I am looking now for an upgraded exhaust, air filter, and carb jets, just for a deeper aggressive sound and better air/fuel ratio if I change the exhaust and intake, figure I need to rejet the carb. Can anyone let me know some good exhaust slip-ons that sound good and perform well? I don't want to spend more than 300 for this stuff though.
