The last couple of years, the Taiwanese based company, Unison has been working on a 450 racer. They are getting ready to release them. They actually teamed up with a company called Metrakit. Metrakit is a Barcelona based company that has been huge in the GT mini racing. Those 2 along with Fuji Heavy Industries, developed their racer. The motor was built in Japan by Fuji, which is the parent company of Suburu. The powerhouse is a 448cc DOHC 4 valve, liquid cooled, with a 36mm carb. It has a 5 speed manual with reverse, 520 O-ring final drive. Dual A-arms up front with preload adjustable piggyback shocks with 8" of travel. The rear is solid axle with rebound adjustable gas shock. The biggest problem I see with it is the weight, it comes in at 445lbs. DRY WEIGHT!!! It has a very similar look to the KTM in the hood and front fenders. The fenders are removable for the shaved look. Comes with nerfs, doesn't look to bad. The quality tends to be shakey at best with these off brands, I have a feeling that quality levels have been stepped up for this one. Seeing how they worked with 2 other companies that would not want to hurt their own name by releasing poorly made equipment. Unison, Fuji (parent of Suburu) and Metrakit really stepped up the off brand quad market this year.

      So I’ve got a 2000 Honda 400ex absolutely love it!! I’ve had it for about a month, I ride with bruteforce 750’s, outlander 850’s and 1000 sxs’s and I was thinking of getting a trx450r carb and a full hmf exhaust. And probably doing the air box mod too, how much power would this give my 400? Just a little different or a big difference? Cuz if it’s not much of a different I’ll just stick with my dg slip on..... thanks!

      Hello, been lurking for a while fixing some of my problems after reading others unfortunate issues. However I can’t find the answers I need. Back story I have a 03 Kodiak 450. A coworker was going to take it to the dump, he said it wouldn’t run. Some mice got in there while it was stored for a few years and chewed up the wire harness. All the wheels were locked up and he didnt want to mess with it. Not knowing if it would run, for a week or so I spliced most of the wires back together. Replaced all the brake calipers and rear brake cable and rebuilt the carb. So far I have put 30ish miles on the bike and seems to run decently. Now my questions. When I put it in gear and the display light showed it is in gear I have to bump the throttle to make it actually go into drive or reverse. It doesn’t slam In gear but kind acts if you let the clutch out to fast on a manual. Is that normal, seems it’s thinking about going In gear then it goes after tapping the throttle. 2nd question, when I use the diff. Lock it acts like it is in a limp mode just by accelerating the lest little bit. It starts to sputter and won’t allow it to have any power. It only does this with the diff lock on. 3rd. The display is stuck on KMH. How do I change it to MPH. I followed all the steps I saw on YouTube with no luck. When I got power to the display it was in MPH but it switched its self and now I can’t get it back. Next are the rear u-joint the same as the front u-joints. I have sprung a oil leak from the rear diff at the drive shaft and need to replace the seal. Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance for any help. I’m sure I will find more things in the future.

      My new 2023 Polaris Sportsman 850 is in the shop for a pinched Wiring Harness from the factory... 
      I did one ride on it (100kms), then to the shop for a month, waiting for them to replace it with a new one.

      Hi Guys, this Quadmaster has an extremely loud bang after turning key off (from idle), scares the stock, dog and missus, any ideas on what to check.
      Thanks and regards,
      Brian
