I'm from Eastern Canada Nova Scotia and here we call them Bombadeer as well, I think the French in Quebec are the only ones to say it correctly because I believe it's a French word, lol, great video also.

[@rockspowersports]

That makes sense. I’ve definitely heard people pronounce it the correct way, but then again I’m only 20 miles away from Quebec…

[@northerntoyota7584]

I’m in Nova Scotia as well and say it the correct way. Usually older people say bomb ba deer. If you’re going to say bomb ba deer at least black out the r in the middle on the decals

[@joeymac837]

@@northerntoyota7584 Yeah I'm 52 and from Cape Breton and we all say it the other way and I've never owned one, only had 1 Kawasaki Brute Force 750 and a few Honda Formans I'm a 2 wheel guy Dual Sport Drz400s is what I ride and as for snowmobiles I'm a Yamaha fan, never liked the Bombadeer Ski Booms as we call them lol.

[@requiemglassworks9254]

I ended up buying a 2003 version of this last spring, and it's been one of the best things I've ever bought. I've put over 1000 miles on it in the last year, and it's going strong. It's been passed around the family, and affectionately called "tank" for a reason. I couldn't be happier with mine!

[@joerutkowsky3261]

Great video. I can’t get enough of your videos. I am in the hospital for 30 days getting chemo. And seriously been watching your videos over and over. Can’t wait to see that monster Polaris rebuild series. Thank you for all your videos. Cheers buddy.

[@sebysebastian7578]

Ay brother, get well soon

[@rockspowersports]

Oh wow, im sorry to hear that! Hopefully when you get out of there you’ll be back to 100%. I’m glad I can keep you entertained during this rough time and the sportsman 570 project will be coming very very soon.

[@rickdubreuil3190]

Thanks for the shout to the Canadians that watch your series. 👍👌

[@joegreer5034]

Don't think there ever was a bad 4whlr made all have quirks. Great video as always..!

[@rockspowersports]

That’s very true! And thanks glad you enjoyed it.

[@jsvallee567]

worked in a can am dealer and the owner still got 2 brand new one just like that in his barn he ketp them for hunting season they are build verry solid and easy to work on

[@Kingsoupturbo]

You said it the French way! nice! what a cool design, pushrod, let you take the head right off, so easy, no timing chain, so much access! the rear rad is a great idea too, love that huge rear diff and swingarm, made for farmers\commercial, like wow! great commitment going 50mph into huge raindrops downpour, great video!

[@rockspowersports]

Glad you liked it! Love the ease of maintenance on these things.

[@yeahright302]

hey rock,glad you put another vid out!!!enjoy them!!

[@rockspowersports]

Thanks, glad you enjoy them!

[@chrisreynolds3547]

I finally got t see a new of those in person crazy

[@motofarmmx2430]

Good video Rock. These bring back many memories to late 90s early 00s dirt wheels magazine.

[@rockspowersports]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. I use to buy a copy of dirt wheel magazine every month. I still have quite a few kicking around here.

[@dxingo]

New York wavin! I made it over to KZbin and got a long rest of the school year so,im gonna start watching your videos on here more as always keep up the good work dude! 👍

[@rockspowersports]

Awesome, glad you made it over! Hope you enjoy the videos over here as well.

[@brucemacdonald4672]

That was pretty good 51 ! ☃️👍👍

[@jmudd5449]

Honesty. The front bumper being bent is driving me crazy. Lol

[@bradarcher3863]

Nice to see a test ride again, those are always cool!

[@rockspowersports]

Glad you like them!

[@mikepro-ww5fg]

Yeah the idle is a pain to dial in that’s for sure. Autoshift is a curse, mine missed a shift from 4 to 5 and made a terrible grinding noise until I went to a stop. Has me worried about how much life mine has left. Im hoping it will get me thru till I can afford a cvt quad

[@rockspowersports]

Maybes it’s a good thing I stayed away from the auto shift…

[@surethatsok]

We mostly call them Bombadeers here in Canada, too.

[@grousehunter67]

Haha you took one for the production ! I almost bought one of these yrs back a really mint machine they wanted what they paid for it new

[@benschlack5814]

It's always good to hit the trails 👍

[@timhiggins4259]

That would make an excellent work ATV hauling timber and firewood with the low range and fairly large motor. Good design.

[@rockspowersports]

Absolutely, certainly a great work horse.

[@traviscxlol]

id love to see a top speed run on the yamaha tri moto 225 dx, i have one and its lots of fun, though i cant do a top speed run. awesome video by the way!

[@lancebidwell-br2sb]

It looks like a nice work machine

[@jefftizz]

Ya French wheelies from the Bomb-ba-deer!

[@travisholzl2927]

John deer bucks four wheeler's look like that to

[@scottjeans6184]

Hopefully it wasn't me that made a thing about the name🤷🏼‍♂️,love the content!

[@rockspowersports]

It’s all good, a few people mentioned it. Glad you enjoy the content!

[@niteninja0133]

I'm sorry for being nosey, just very curious. Is all that land yours? Like when you went and picked up dirt with your Kubota it looked like it was a mine or something. If so that's really freaking sweet

[@rockspowersports]

The gravel pit is on my father’s land, but it buts up to my property so don’t have to travel too far.

[@DarikLayman]

Really enjoy your videos. Well done. I have an opportunity to pick up a 650 Quest (‘05) for right around $1500.00… Nice shape and runs as designed. Gonna probably try for $950 but what would be your biggest concerns with this model at this day and age? Mostly used for snow plowing and pulling but it’s gotta be able to answer the call for trail & aggressive mud riding and thrashing excursions from time to time.. I sold my Bruteforce 650 several years ago and received an old Polaris Magnum 425 as a hold over. The Mag’s actually a pretty good little quad but it’s very low on the thrill factor and tops out around 43-44. What would you pick between a Quest and a Traxter if you were going to get one. (Used) Thanks for your input and i’ll be enjoying your vid’s!

[@jeffreyferlotte6379]

Make sure u get a honda 300 4x4 in the mix if doing a pulling contest

[@rockspowersports]

For sure! Gotta get the old original workhorse in there!

[@diggerbudrow]

My 23 outlander is hard to shift as well 😂

[@rockspowersports]

Really! Has it’s always been like that? Might still need to be broke in.

[@diggerbudrow]

@@rockspowersports blowing with my bike this winter - a real pain to go from fwd to reverse. I guess it’s a known issue. Never a problem with my 14 King Quad

[@HelloUaregod]

make shore it has new right good oil to

[@MapleHillsSmallEngineRepair]

Bombadeer here in NB, Canada as well. Rock, the land that you test drive on .. Is it all your property or are they public trails like we have here. Just curious...

[@rockspowersports]

Yeah I guess I should have said Quebec. Some of the trail is on my neighbors land as well.

[@Jonathan_From_TT]

Now this is dumb I didnt get notified you upload. Anyhow howdy duty from indiana

[@rockspowersports]

That’s strange, I think it might be something wrong with KZbin.. it wasn’t showing me any comments at first even though it showed there was some.

[@Jonathan_From_TT]

@@rockspowersports yea youtube has done that alot. Sometimes I think they dont like us supporting our favorite creators

[@Marksworld...1]

Rock can you help me with a quest? Are these engines fixed valves? I can't find any info on the valves...other than a guy who said they are not adjustable. I'm chasing slow cranking issue

[@rockspowersports]

Yes the Bombardier Quest have none adjustable hydraulic valves. I know you say it’s cranking slow but does it start and run at all?

[@Marksworld...1]

@rockspowersports my friend got me to put a starter in it from Amazon I believe...I cleaned the carb and sprayed some premix in it and it fired for a second...then I tried again and it did the same so I'm guessing the fuel pumps bad...however then the 3rd time it cranked slower and then seized....removed the cvt cover to find the bendix locked to the clutch and it had broke the ear on the bendix cover off...im waiting on a clutch puller to dig into it. The engine turns over by hand with the plug out and the bendix cover off..is that a bendix failure? The starter is cooked now as well. Just trying to figure out what is the root cause altho it seems like multiple issues

[@dillionjennings1720]

Hey I have that same quad in the electric model you mentioned you have replaced the shift solenoids on some in the past, I'm having an issue where it won't disengage the clutch, it stalls when stopped, and you have to force it into gear, I have the idle adjusted as low as I can, one thing I didn't use factory oil i used Lucas atv oil I'm not sure if that could cause the issue or not

[@golfernky1687]

John deere branded those for a few years

[@rockspowersports]

I had a John Deere trail buck 650 along time ago.

[@alanbanks9677]

I still have one great machine.

[@ChrisFigliomeni]

I am looking at buying one of these. He says it needs a new neutral safety position sensor. Is that a big deal to change?

[@cilentofarmer3929]

Hi, I have the same Traxter with electronic gearbox. When I change gear all the lights come on! what can it be? then I wanted to know are there still spare parts for this type of quad? you can't find anything in Italy!

[@jakeman2235]

Quick question, 2003 traxter 500, the gear shifter on the handle bars rocker control doesn't shift up but does shift down. I can only up shift manually with the tool on the gear shift under seat while stoped. Any suggestions? Thanks

[@jonathankeller8622]

you need merch

[@rockspowersports]

I do have some.

[@benschlack5814]

Yup rocawear

[@alfredschmidt3659]

I have one with a new battery and no click or noise at start button. I don't see a kill switch. I cleaned the starter switch interior with electric cleaner. Do you know what might cause this? I been using it without any starter probs
