All,
Just to give you an update on my VX-80. Actually riding time 4 hours this weekend. Following problems existed:

* Brake locked up and ceased...front right. Had to strip it to break it free
* Adjust the brakes...not very good brakes
* Seat will not lock properly and always slips from one side to another...still can't get it to lock
* Battery box broke completely off and I lost my battery. The box broke off with it and all I have is wires hanging ...remember, I had to buy a new battery and I just bought it. The stock batter didn't last a month.
* Plastic broke all over...can't handle pressure or stress. Not even tested the black middle plastics are totally gone

I think this would be a good ATV for the backyard only...only. I tested this next to a Honda TRX 90. the TRX 90 was stock and cost around $2200.00. My VX-80 was $949.00 delivered. The TRX 80 out climbed it...never an issue with the Honda. I still say the VX-80 has potential and is still much better than the Kazuma Adult ATV 250. SEADAWG
