Ok... Neighbor bought a 2018 rancher 420 four wheeler..4x4..foot shift.
His lifestyle changes.. moved to the city.
Left his 4wheeler with us..
Said keep it as long as you like..
We already have a 2005 350 rancher with ES.
It's fifteen years old. All we've EVER done to it it would filters. Two tires. One battery.
Best ATV ever made. We absolutely love it.
.......
Now here we are with this brand new rancher..
And we avoid it like the plague...
Man we hate that foot shifter !! Help !!
How do we get rid of it ?
Anything ? Obviously we can't trade it off...
We're (the wife and I) are 60s.. and we are having a really hard time with the foot shifter.
I'm thinking of trying a rope? And yank up on it.. ?
Try doing an oil change on it. I have the same machine but mine is a 16. Change over to synthetic oil and see how it does.
