As one of those older persons I understand the challenges you mention. I never pictured myself as the guy that would be driving a minivan, but we just bought our second, because they have a flat floor and are easy for the wife and I to get in and out of for us. That being said, the wife and I both have our own off-road machines a CanAm Commander(hers) and a Trooper 2 (mine) and because they are higher than cars they are easy enough for us to get into.  The individuals with the mobility issues need to physically try getting in and out of different UTVs. They may find it easier to get in and out of something like my T2 than a passenger car.  My wife and I had a Chevy Malibu that was hard for me to get in and out of and I would be in pain driving after 30-45 minutes,  but I have no issues with my T-2  or her Commander. I know all of the lines pretty much have a flat floor machine similar to the Polaris Rangers, so the best thing you can do is head out to the dealers and try getting in and out of different machines, like Travis stated. Or there is a better idea,  somewhere near you is an area where people congregate to ride, go there, talk to other people face to face, I think you'll find them friendly and willing to let you try getting in their machines without the pressure involved with being at a dealer. Good Luck, Dave.

      I have been doing a little research on which engine oil is best for UTV engines.  There seems to be some disagreement over using a good quality regular engine oil, and the necessity of using "M2" (or wet clutch suitable) oil.  My understanding is the "wet clutch" suitable oil has less friction reduction properties (hence a more responsive clutch with less slippage).  While less friction reduction properties would seem to be better for the wet clutch... it would not be best for the internal engine parts like camshaft bearings and other moving parts where friction is detrimental and would lead to premature failure.  Some folks swear you need M2 oil, while others say they have been using regular motor oil for years and their clutch is just fine.  Could they both be right ???
      Any thoughts ?

      My older LM 650 is blowing fuel into the air cleaner.  Any idea on what would cause this?  It is the Suzuki motor.  Not sure what model year it is.

      Hi, 
      New to the forum. 
      Came here looking for some experienced UTV users who can enlighten me about which brand should I pick for my very first UTV or SXS. 
      I'm between 3 brands and 3 models: 
      *Kawasaki MULE PRO-FXR   1000.
      *Yamaha wolverine rmax2. 
      *Can am Commander XTP. 
      The use I'm willing to give it is mostly to go to the range with my wife, load steel targets and all our shooting gear, we shoot a lot, rifles, Shotguns and Handguns for practice, training and competition. (Range is about 10 miles from home) 
      But also I want something that I can take to the trails and have fun on dirt, mud, rocks, puddles or creeks. 
      Any objective information will be appreciated, specially which is more reliable and durable. 
      Thank you and happy 4th of July.
