I loved my 86' model. I'll never get rid of it. I took it through some very suprisingly deep mud! If i doubted it, id just crack it open and let it eat sh!t. I did some pretty serious hill climbing in it too. Kind of scary sometimes cause I ran a stock swinger. I was good as long as I kept the rpm's up, and I had geared down sprockets. This 88' model i just got will be my special occasion quad, and then I can just drive around my 86' everyday. I think it's probably a good idea to have someone look over the 86' motor before I get it back on the road.
Me.
