I've had my Outlander for almost a year now, and I ride it hard! Last week I was going down a mile creek, with water almost to the seat, on my buddy's Polaris the belt started slipping almost 100ft in, my other buddies, one with a Foreman, and one with a Kawasaki, didn't even want to try the creek, because they said they knew it wouldn't make it 10 feet before hanging-up or running out of power. Also I dragged my Outlander against almost every quad, and the first one to beat it was thge 500HO Polaris. My Outlander would eat the 450 Honda, 400ex, Polaris 400HO, Yamaha 350-450, and 400-500cc Arctic Cat's. Bombardier does have a little different clutch though. It starts out a little slow, then lay's down power up to about 45MPH, then gets a bit slow again up to about 58MPH on the flats. Also their clutch makes a little more noise when engaging and disengageing, but I think it's just the EBS kicking in and out. My uncle has an Outlander also, and he has had his for only 6 monthes now and already has 2,750 miles on it. The only thing he replaced was the muffler, because a tab/nut welded on the muffler for the heat shield bolt broke and they just gave him a whole new muffler, no questions asked. I've driven almost all ATV's, and all my friends have different brands, and they all love my Outlander. They have all had more problems with theirs than what I have had with mine. I now know why the Outlander is rated highest on everything in all the different ATV magazine's. I figure if any brand has the guts to put a free 3 year warrenty on their machine, they must have a lot of faith because it's built to last!
Upgrades/Accessories: I have a clutch kit for it, but I have not put it on yet.
