I bought a Refurbed Cannibal to see if I'd like the Cannondales before I spend $10,000 on a new quad. If everything goes right, I'll have a new Blaze next year.

Yes, dealers are suppose to update the ones on the floor prior to sale. Some have left certain dealerships without the updates though. Just depends on how good a dealership is and if they stay up to date with Cannondale.

Cannitor,
Was anyone from Marcums at the Harescramble?
Posted by: Cannitor
what i did with my dealer is this...
i pulled all the bulletins that dealt with my cannibal off the website
i then hand delivered them along with my quad and said...call me when youre done
they did...its awesome...its like a whole new quad!
good luck
btw at the hare scrambles this week there was a lot of blazes and cannibals as well

i saw 1 guy with a blaze running his stickers but i didnt get a chance to talk to him
i was running around like a chicken with my head cut off double checking and triple checking everything
Posted by: Cannitor
im assuming you checked to make sure that your serial #'s apply to the bulletins listed?

I would have to agree. For the price the blaze and moto are worth. By the time you buy all the parts for a cannibal or speed to convert it to the blaze or moto you'll have spent more money. But not all of us have or are willing to spend that much up front on a quad, plus some of us just like adding are own personal touch to the quad. If you have the money and wanted one totally race ready buy the blaze or moto, if not buy the speed or cannibal. I bought the speed for many reasons.
1. new machine and really didn't know if I would like it. (i've always been a 2-stroke man)
2. I like setting them up with a personal touch, like different pipe, shocks etc.
After owning the speed, I wish I would have bought the blaze. I would have saved some money in the long run. Live and learn. Now I'm planning on getting a Gas Gas. Something new and different.

There is certainly not anything wrong with them. Most of us Cannibal and Speed owners wish we were on Moto's and Blaze's. If you can afford the Blaze or Moto, go with one of those depending on your riding style. Blaze for woods/trails, and Moto for MX/TT.

I have a 03 Blaze on order. I'm coming off a 15 year run on 250R's!

Just make sure it has all the updates and you will be fine.
Posted by: JeffatTQS
You can ask them if they have all been done or you can look at the updates on the Cannondale web site and look for some of the obvious ones like the gas tank.

I'm pretty sure the dealers are supposed to up date the ones on the floor. KNOWSALOT can answer this for sure.

Me personaly I wanted a moto but the girlfriend couldn't see paying $12k for a quad. But could see paying $8k for a speed and get the MX parts over time that was eaiser.

Hey yall, I am planning on getting a blaze, but I have noticed that the majority of you have cannibals or Speeds. why is that? Is there anything wrong with the Moto's or the Blaze?
Posted by: MadeMan
Alright yall, you have me convinced I was just curious cause they have a demo blaze for sale up in oregon that I just well... it's a really good price.... or should I just wait for an 03????
Posted by: MadeMan
Where and How do I find out what it needs/doesn't need?
Posted by: MadeMan
So all the parts, tech, and service bullitens they will do free of charge? or is it like a ford thing and it's ONLY IF IT GOES WRONG??
