We had a 87 for about 10 years. It was a very dependable quad.
The 87-88 had lighter/weaker trans gears in them, so if you shift without the clutch, they fail. They were updated in 91-92 with beefier trannies.
The best mod you can do is a pipe. It really wakes them up. 400ex a arms bolt right on with a little fab work to a set of Banshee front shocks and widen the fronts out about 3 inches and make them ride better..
They are light in the front end. They actually handle very nimble, much like a trike.
Here is where my long useless list of stuff nobody cares about should go...
