You can send parts USPS, UPS, Fedex anything you want because they are just parts and nothing without the "receiver"

Thanks to Charlie, I now know how to shift! I can't believe I was afraid of the clutch for so long!

Rubicon, if you've "turned over a new leaf" then how about act with some respect to people, sh*t may have happened in your past but you don't need to call people names.

Lets rewrite your post for you:

Hey guys, I'm Efren. I used to ride the hump everyday from when I was 5, up till I was 18.  Now I'm 21 and haven't been there in a few years. Is it still okay to ride out there? I know they fenced off some places for digging, but is there a lot of enforcement for trespassing? I'm on probation and don't want to do anything to get in trouble.  Oops, I just answered my own question, since I'm on probation I shouldn't be breaking any laws whatsoever. I'll just go ride at croom, ocala, river ranch, dirty foot, or any other place that I have to pay a minimal fee

Dude, honesty is for job interviews and a sit down with future in-laws; not a very public forum where the rule of the day is slap-down or get slapped-down.  As you've mostly learned already, if you're going to be dumb, you better be tough, and/or rich.  Appears you're neither.  Try to stay straight.  Life is tough enough when you live by the rules.  Why make it tougher on yourself?

Couldn't have said it better

yea don;t be scared of the clutch, I had never had one and learned back in october in about an hour.  If you come out to dirty foot saturday I'd be glad to teach you on my honda 400ex

I didn't realize dirty foot is only an hour and 45 min from me, if you're up for teaching me (mind you I have never driven anything with a clutch before) I'll head out there with my bike and make a day of it, I'll PM you my number/email

It's 11 y.o. and has a clutch. Is your wife young and not going to be discouraged by the work required to shift gears while simultaneously operating the clutch in soft sand or mud? If she whines the whole time and then some, you've wasted $1000. If she's younger and demure in stature(no more than 110-120 lbs), I'd buy the DS250. There's no steep hills at River Ranch to worry about insufficient power and, most of the time, you can get around the mud holes. But, I wouldn't let any other adults operate it, most-especially those weighing 180-200 lbs or more.

I really appreciate the help, I don't know much about ATVs yet.  The DS250 is about 4.5 hours from me so its not much a short trip just to go check it out, would you recommend getting it checked out by a dealer or some kind of bike shop?

That is a Warrior and its a manual clutch bike. If you are willing to learn to ride a clutch and shift(like a big boy) then you need a 400 at least. That warrior isnt very exciting.

 That can am 450 you saw on TBRD is a screaming deal for 3k. You can buy a Honda 400ex or Suzuki Z 400 for close to 2k and they are great bikes.

Oh okay, I'd love to learn how to ride a clutch, just need someone to teach me LOL, if some of you guys want to get together sometime let me know and bring some beer. I could always just drive the manual and have my friends drive my can-am outlander

DS450 is manual transmission and 2WD. It's low ground clearance is built more for racing, riding tracks or dry trails. In your price range and adult operators, you're back to used Honda/Yamaha/Suzuki/Kawasaki 350s/400s with carburetors(vs. EFI), rear drum brakes(vs. disc) and drive shaft/chains(vs. CVT belt) and shifting gears with automatic clutch. I believe the Kawi 360 and Yamaha Grizzly 350s have fully-automatic transmission(CVT Belt), though.

What about getting this checked out? http://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/mcy/2084784924.html
Just something cheap for friends and the girl to use down at river ranch

My 14 y.o. has had a Can-Am 250 since 2008 and it's worked great. But, I'm thinking of selling/trading it for a Renegade 500. I wouldn't recommend the Can-Am 250 for your wife or any adult. It's 2WD(vs. 4WD) and has low ground clearance. If your wife will be lifting herself out of mud holes/ruts/tree stumps/large rocks every time she gets stuck, like my son, go for it. But, it's not designed for adults, so, adults won't have sufficient power to climb steep hills and their extra body weight will cause you to frequently be adjusting the chain and possibly replacing sprockets/shocks quickly. In general, adults need 350/400cc minimum. Wrenchers may argue differently because they enjoy fixing stuff as much as riding it. Not me.

Thanks for the input, I'm not great at fixing things so I'll cross the Can-am 250 off. A guy on tampabayridingdirty has a Can-Am DS450 for 3k, should I look into that? Is there any other bikes that I should look at (would prefer 4WD and a utility quad). My max budget would be around 2200

Screw the gear jolting, manual shifting and cheesy, problem-prone drum brakes found on many Hondas and other brands. Just buy a belt-driven(vs. gear) ATV with disc brakes for your wife and family. They'll simply depress the throttle(automatic shifting) and go. Driving a car ain't rocket science, either. Just look at how effective the general public is on our roads! Cater to the lowest common demoninator!

What about picking up a Can-am DS250, found a lady in Delray beach that wants $1350 for it and guessed around 160 hours? Before I'd buy it I'd want to take it to a place to get checked out, or is there just something I should look for

Canam, you need to spend a weekend with Anoriginal and I.  We can teach you about  the finer things in life.  The art of using a clutch, drinking beer, and we will even kill something and eat it.
  Your parents should be arrested for child abuse.

Ha let me know when you want to I'd be up for it, I've got a few rifles to bring out and my FX4

Good lord it aint rocket science. My son has been riding amanual clutch bike since he was 6.
  Can you drive a car?

Alright well I'm sorry that when I was growing up my parents would never let me ride bikes, and all I have ever owned is automatic cars (hyundai sonata, and now an F150)

I am thinking about getting a honda as a second quad for my girlfriend and some family to use. I have never owned a manual car, bike, or anything else.  I've heard how great hondas are and was just thinking about picking up a cheap 250 with electronic shift. Before I get one is there anything I should know about owning them? (The only thing I've had is a 2010 Can-am Outlander 400)

To shift I start in first gear and once rpms get up to like 3000 I press the up button to shift to second and then so on till 5th gear? What about when I want to slow down? Do I just brake, or do I brake and downshift at the same time? I'd appreciate it if you guys can direct me to a guide or something
