@xxxKULLARxxx I would stay away from these chinese quads.....we didn't buy this one we won it and then I sold it. I would recommend you look at Yamaha Big Bear 4x4's and Honda Ranchers.
I've had 2 Baja's-the wilderness 90u and the wilderness 250u. The 90 only lasted a year but every time we rode it, there was always something that had to be fixed. The 250 though is much better. It has lasted 2 years and only recently we have had to fix it. But I also say the parts department is horrible - it was very difficult to get the part I needed and once it was ordered, it took forever for them to ship it.
those bikes are decent like they aint the best but theyll get the job done good, only problem is you wont get parts for them, once you order them they never come in and you just gotta redneck something up
I have had one of these units since April 2006. I have to say that I'm pretty impressed with it. The only thing I had a problem with was the rubber vent hoses for the brakes and rear differential. They cracked so I replaced them with new ones from a local parts store. These are made by Jianshe; which is a division of Yamaha in China. They use the ex-beartracker tooling. You can go to Yamaha and ask for the part you need for a 2004 Beartracker.
I have the same exact quad, I just bought it used for 650. Now i here like a knock in the engine. It is almost as loud as the muffler. Can anyone help me
@PowerRider16 the clutch would not cause that, it could be detonation, where the spark plugs timing is off so it fires to early and the piston slams into the bottom of the cylinder. could be other things but a knock is bad news for a bike.
idk we won it so we only had to pay gift tax which was $120. i think it sells for around 1900. but this is a limited edition. baja makes most of them camo, not red
yeah i figured out that baja is a Yamaha knock-off a long time ago but i made this vid b4 i knew that. i looked at the fenders and thought "Honda rancher knock-off" but under those the chassis and motor are Yamaha knock-offs
Polaris is shit, I hve a polaris 425, I would trade it for a 250 anytime, it barely works because i gunned it and I snapped the throttle cable and wrecked the motor baaad. Baja are kinda good, I would still buy one
I don't know about that, I have the Baja X250 dirt bike and it is super high quality and I absolutely love it, almost never clean it and it has never crapped out on me. I too have a Honda CRF 250R and it is simply superior but for the price for a Baja I still think they are worth at least 4 times of what you pay for them.
yeah it has electric start but i use the pull start sometimes. i did in this video cause i wanted to see how quick it would start like that. i don't think it would do very good with a plow
the truth is --yamaha had 180,000 spare beartracker 250 atv's in japan and they wanted to move them,so they gave licence to a chineese firm to redress them in new plastic under yamaha supervision and sell them at large discount's--they are 98% pure yamaha beartracker 250---------not all baja models are yamaha but the canadian tire 4x4 400 is an older model fin cooled yamaha bigbear or kodiak 400
idk if i beleive that..... what about the motors? they kinda look like yamaha but sure don't act like it. and all the rubber and plastic parts on this quad are junk (unlike yamaha). overall it's just not good enough to even hint at being yamaha work.
dude i know quads now i made this video a long time ago when i had just started riding quads and i accidentally called it a honda rancher but yeah i noticed after i made this video that it's designed way different, the engine looks almost like the engine on my yamaha so i kinda started to figure it's closer to a yamaha. but the fenders are kinda like honda utility quads....
Baja is garbage, I bought the 400 4x4 only lasted a year for me, so i turned it into my project atv, I swaped out the motor and put a yamaha bruin 350 motor inside, runs like majic and is reliable now, love it, gonna swap the electronics out this year too
plz plz plz save ur money baja motorsport are garbage!! i buy i baja in december and it sparted to fuck up in march. they dont tell u that its going to mess up until it happens. those things are meant to last for about 6 month. do not waist ur money on any kind of tune ups and buy a real brand!!!!!trust me i have a baja 250 and there are so many problem starting from the chain to the carb... so just get a real one!!!
hey bro just some info my buddy bought one and 2 weeks in he blue the engine he bought 2 more they all had major problems he decided to go with a brand name, the company is small and has very poor customer service, PLEASE buyer beware on these machines both 250 and 400 4x4 i recommend the brand new arctic cat 700 efi 4x4 mud pro it comes stock with 28 on 14 a winch and hand gards AND a factory snorkal all for less than $12.000 trust me the best investment u will ever make.
no I didn't mention it in any videos. I said it in a reply to a comment on this video a long time ago, but that's it. You guessed right. lol that's weird that you just guessed and got it right!
i dunno man. For the money (now 2500$ on sale) i guess its ok. Is it semi auto??? Not sure since u had it in gear with no clutch but i could be wrong.
I think 250cc is absolutely too small. I have a raptor 660cc and its not nearly enough power so i would suggest baja puts in a chain drive with at least 450cc to give it more power.
I dont trust chinese quads at all ever since i rode my friends 150cc raptor clone. Full of problems, drum brakes, and suspension was terrible.
yeah it's semi auto, so it has an auto clutch. yeah i slightly changed my opinion of it. I recommend other quads now. it is underpowered and has pretty bad suspension, a 6 inch jump (lol that's not a jump) bottoms it out easily.
I have a 2005 250 wilderness,tranny broke putting it into gear.After 6 months and 2 dealers later,told me noone can get parts.I called baja myself after 9 attempts i finally got through and they told me its been discontinued and parts are no longer avaible.So my 2,500 quad is junk because of one single gear they dont sell anymore.Dont waste your time or money,they might look nice but good luck fixing them !!!!!!
..... I have one of their buggys and I've had to re-weld many things on it. There is something always broken on it that needs to be fixed. I've had hondas and yamahas before and I've never had or seen such cheap quality, but keep in mind that you're only paying 1/3 of a japanese, quality vehicle. I don't think I'll ever buy anything else from baja motorsports again and if my guess is right they will be out of business in the next couple of years. just my 2¢.
actually...no i really dont like the sound of that engine...sounds like my lawn mower...and i would much rather have a quality japaneese bike/atv that a chineese knock-off POS
baja is a great company. just dont fall for stuff online cause its all junk. baja is the best "off-brand" around. ive had mine for 3 years. no problems.
baja is a good company but tuff on my walet i have the baja heat 6.5hp and the baja vision motorcycle both run good my brother has the phinix the brakes have to be cheked and tightened when you first buy them
Hey, check all of the nuts and bolts make sure everything is tight put lock tight glue on them all(even if it has it already)because my 70 dirt bike the rear shock fell off and the swing arm
got loose because they get loose from it vibrating and shaking......just dont want you to have to go through the same trouble as me:)
yesterday i traded my neighbor my baja and an old moto-ski capri i had lying around out back for his polaris sportsman 500 EFI, i put some gas in it, changed the oil, and the spark plugs and got her runnin. its a pretty stong machine
yeah you just have to break it in.....i have the mini baja....i love it i put a torque A verter and i had my freinds dad whos a cop clock me at 54 mph i love mine
baja ATV's are pretty good, your right, sometimes they dont seem so powerful but another problem is that they are sometimes very hard to start even in warmer conditions
Actually, I made this vid a while ago. I should make an update about the baja. Anyway, now that it's nearly broke in, it starts pretty good in any conditions.
i have a baja motorsports dirt runner 125 but the thing wrong with your quad might be it need some oil...to warm up better is put choke on...my baja is awsome ive had for a year about and runs awsome
something i have noticed when i got these chinese atv is that the spark plug are shit (get an NGK) and the carb just needs adjustment with the gas/air mixture even scene it run great!! and starts first pull in cold
yeah NGK is awesome! i run those in my other quads and snowmobiles and they last forever! yeah good idea i guess we never checked or changed the plug in it i should do that the stupid thing WILL NOT start in the cold we have to keep it inside
really? wow i was using mine the other day and it started first kick start on chock mine yamaha ss440 does not even do that, it take 2 pulls, but try and tell me if it works?
isnt it electric start??
