Have has this ATV for almost a year and I love it! Carburated but cranks with ease every time. Have had absolutely no problems with the bike. Only drawback is the amount of ground clearance. It gets stuck in the center when you are coming out of a mud hole. A little larger tires or a small lift should fix this problem though.
