I have a 2004 Honda Foreman 450 that has been excellent. Only thing I've ever had to do other than normal maintenance is to replace the muffler. I wouldn't buy anything else.

I have 2 Honda 350 Ranchers bought in 2001 nothing but normal service they run and start perfectly every time so far. Nothing but Honda for me but I think the Yamaha is a good machine
The bitterness of poor quality last a lot longer than the sweetness of low price

Yamaha,Suzuki and Honda-all good bikes. I own 2 Hondas.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

My 94 honda has a decompresser,kick start,electric start,primer and a choke. Never fails to start unless you flood it with the primer.Then it just takes a couple extra kicks. Its only a 300 but the compression is deadly. 400 rancher has no decompresser,but does have a pull start,choke and primer.It is a bear to pull.

Just me. But I would have kept it I don't know if there was much he could have done if I went that route. This has been three or four years ago and he still remembers me when I go in. Very infrequently.

Not a four wheel but I had bought a chainsaw once,had it for a month and had brought it in for some work and sharpening to the same dealer.Thought when I picked it up they had cleaned it good.The next day got a call from the dealer his guy had sent me home with a brand new saw by mistake and would I return it.I said sure but had been cutting wood with it all yesterday and today.He told me to just keep the saw .....lol

You might have saved his job by bringing it back. That's worth something. I felt bad for the guy, he was terribly embarrassed as it was. Simple oversight on both our parts.
