ANY quad can be broken, there are no immortal transmissions or motors. More often than not, proper maintenance is the difference between an "reliable" machine and an "unreliable" machine. True, there are those few model years that have had problems, such as the early year Raptors. Frame failures are going to happen if you routinely hit 60-90 ft jumps. I have seen EX frames darn near fold in half that were not properly gusseted, same with Suzukis.

Any quad that is intended to be raced is going to have more transmission failures/ frame failures than a quad designed to be trail ridden because of the stress put on them.

look they build frames to a fine line of strength to flexability. they can build you a frame that wont break if ya want to drive a tank.

It dont take much to wreck a tranny just miss a gear a couple times or hit a jump and land with your foot on the shifter and you can have all kinds of troubles.Break a tooth off a gear and let it float around in there for a while and you will have a big mess.Honda Yamaha Kawasaki Cannondale Suzuki they all will have problems.I have repaired trannys from just about everything that has two wheels or 3 wheels or 4.Racing as long as i have i cant even tell you what i broke trannies cranks case halves valves cams pistons and so on and on and on.Just ask any pro rider some of the stuff he broke and he will have a list that goes on forever. On the gas and full blast things will break even if you are easy on them.We could start a new post on stuff that racers had broke and it would be the 80 pages long .Yamaha Honda Kawasaki Suzuki Cannondale Polaris they are all well built machines but nothing is unbreakable and if you think yours is you atre so wrong.Ride what you have and enjoy it life is to short.....Chris
