My dad has a scrambler 400 and yes, they can get up and go, but that thing is a nightmare. It sits way to high so it is easily rolled, if you try to swing the front end around you swing it all the way around. A lot of things have broke and parts are very hard to get at; you need to take off a ton of plastic to get at anything. They are donut machines though. It would be a good quad to drag or do donuts with, but I wouldn't recommend it for anything else.

yea i have a polaris 350L 2stroke. not sure if the 400 is based off it or anything, but it self-distructs all the time. iv had this wheeler for like 3 years i think and the motor has blown like 4 times. good points are its got good power and torque tho.

well the first time it had a reason, i had just bought it and after it blew we found that the carb boot was cracked and it wore the rings so that they were soo thin that they busted. and the other times we dont know why it blew, what it was always do is bust one of the skirts off the piston. and the only motor work done to it was it had been bored .20 over.
