My Rubicon is a 500. Kept spuddering the whole time...
It was running good last week.
Maybe the ethanol gas? I have some gas treatment but wasnt sure if you could put it in a 4 wheeler...
I will not buy Ethanol gas again for the 4 wheeler.
It's an '02 so I may need to take it to a dealer and let them tune it up and shite.

I have an 07 Honda Foreman with ITP 26" tires on it. It's bigger than stock but not by much. I tow it on a ProPull 5ft by 8 ft with ramp. Fits well and can put a few other things like coolers, decoy bags, etc. behind the bike. Last season I cut off the tongue jack that came with it using a big mofo electric saw and installed a swing jack like you would on a boat trailer. Use bike to tow it all over the place when at the camp. Just make sure you get full size tires if you plan on rollin this trailer long distances

The problem with trailers is there is no perfect size. I need about 20 different ones to fit all needs from a 30ft tandem dual to a 5x8 for pulling with a bike in the woods. Just figure out what one will fill the most needs without being to big. If I would get a four wheeler trailer I would get one to load two bikes with the front side ramp and a rear ramp.

I have an 18ft tandem trailer that we use to haul the tractor and the 4wheeler on work days to the lease. With my 500 suzuki I cant load it like I could my old 250 Recon. Used to plant the front tires up against the front corner and push the gas until the bike walked itself around sideways. That big suzuki wont fit like that. I dont know what I'm going to do now.

Where is a good place to get a trailer in the New Orleans or Baton Rouge area? And what should the price run for a 4 wheeler trailer.

I'm tired of putting my 4-wheeler in my truck bed. I've flipped it twice over the years doing that. A rainy day is all it takes for the tires to slip right off.

You can look for a used one and may find something but when i was looking for one back in '07 I was surprised at how few were for sale 2nd hand. Seems it's something people hang on to. I got mine from Central Hitch & Equipment in BR. somewhere around $800 I think it was, at the time, for a 5ft by 8 ft with ramp and 15 inch wheels w/ spare mounted to side rail. You can get them a lot cheaper but I found that its usually apparent why they're cheaper, i.e. frame quality, smaller wheels, etc
