That people talk about cutches are better than semi automatics transmission.

On automatics you better have brakes because you cant downshift to stop. and if the bely case isnt sealed and you go in water or anything liquid for that matter you can burn the belt up.

1. No power compared to standard

2. Too complicated!!! I mean what the heck is this park thing they keep telling me about??

3. They don't last as long as a standard.

Are you talking about an automatic transmission or clutch?

I also assume you are talking about trikes since this is in trikesylvania.

I can keep up with my freinds 1986 200X on my 225.
I can keep up with him until 5th gear and then he slowly pulls away.
He had Mike from VintageMotorsports rebuild his motor.I know he did a good job too.I like automatic when you have to crawl over things that are in your way.I have used a standered before.I guess i will
just have to wait and see the verdict on the standered.

i personnally own 2 auto clutchs, but when i drive raptors with clutch i think there funner to ride. its really a personal preference and you can prolly take off a bit faster with a manual

Ya' where the hell are the belts in a automatic or standered.I am talking about trikes.

**mymint87** · 09-26-2005, 08:27 PM

**cragster** · 09-26-2005, 08:31 PM

autos and standards are both good! its them fully automatic's that seem weird!(honda rancher for ex.)

**willcamach** · 09-26-2005, 08:32 PM

auto clutch quads and trikes suck imo. way more control with a clutch but i guess its cool to learn on. or if your old and lazy

You can control the rpms and where the trike shifts at, because youre the one who pulls the shift lever up to change gears. Yes, its a little harder to wheelie, you need to use the hold up on the shifter to be in neutral between the gears, then drop it and youll wheelie. I like my 200s in the tight woods because i dont have to worry about using the clutch, even tho I love using my 350x in the woods too.

Its hard to say, its all personal preference. I grew up on the automatic 200s, and when i finally got a 350x 11 years later, i loved the manual shift. Its all about what you feel.
