let's see 'em

Grandson got a couple China made ATVs, lucky me, been a while since my motorcycle days, but I’ve mechanic and body worked all my life. Got an issue with the 110 cc one that’s got me scratching my bald head. Replaced carb, adjusted and checked all I see that can be done and it still Boggs out in forward gear , but will spin the tires in reverse and not bogg at all. What am I missing hear ? Anybody got any ideas on what to try next? Please let me know, I’m sure that the best thing to do would be to get rid of the the things and buy a real Atv, unfortunately the grandkids can’t afford it and Grandpa is supposed to be able to fix anything don’t acknowledge. Help needed!

The engine is running great but it only gets up to about 15 Mph in high gear, it also doesn't pull like it use to. I don't know much about the semi manual clutch so I am looking for a starting point. So far I adjusted the clutch but I'm not sure if it's tight enough. Any help would be great.

Well if things workout for the good a Honda will join my Kawai in the garage on monday 8/26. I'm getting old I think it's an 05 I do know it's a 650 Rincon with IRS & has 200 hours.

Went winter rid'in last Saturday, the 18th. It rained like a SOB all nite & it was still rain'in to beat the band when I left the house at 0500 for the ride (Yeah, I like to leave early). :coffee:
It was 31 degs F when I unloaded the bike, and Yup, it was snow'in ... it was just try'in at first but later on, it was do'in pretty good. :woot:
I tried to get off on the snow a couple times, but it was soft & deep & I didn't feel like digg'in or winch'in ... so I turned around to ride at a lower elevation (7000 ft instead of the 9000 ft where I was) ... and the bike was clean up to that point .... sigh .... and I was also dry !!
Yes, my expensive rain suit bibs leaked !! I'll bet I don't have a dozen rides with these & they leak. I think it must be from the rubbing of the material (Gore-Tex) on the seat while riding !!?? :wiggle:
So I stuff a sweat shirt in my bibs (probably looked like I was carry'in a load, if ya know what I mean !! :smilielol5c: ) ... and I rode another 15 miles. At that point I stopped at a Forest Service shack that had an overhang porch, had some lunch, & put my other rain pants on underneath the bibs ... and rode another 30 miles. But I'm pissed !!
Here's some photo's .... :seeyac:

Decided to head out to the mountains and go for a ride yesterday (23 Jan 013). My buddy and I wanted to get out of this valley inversion we’re in and get some fresh air. :coolgleamAc:
The weatherman said it was SUPPOSE to be sunny with a storm coming in on the 24th … but it was very cloudy and dark, as you’ll see in the video.
And no, I didn’t try and adjust the light settings of the cameras. Should have I guess … OH WELL !! :wasntme:
I also was trying out some different camera mounting options. Gonna have to do some adjusting it appears.
The sun did come out later in the day, however, I wasn’t tak’in any video at that time.
So, here’s a short video of the days ride … Hope you enjoy it. :wiggle:
