ATV Maintenance and Repair

If so, I have covid lol, in the past 3 months I have bought 6.

86 Kawasaki bayou 185
96 Polaris magnum 425
95 Polaris trail blazer 250
03 bombardier 175 rally
92 Yamaha moto 4 350 

should i run a thicker oil in a older quad because it make a little more noise than usual 

What are your riding location preferences? Mud Park? Personal Trails? Public Land?

I'm assuming, it's alright to test the engine after adjusting valves without the rear axle installed? Can someone please verify this? I'm waiting on axle parts and wanting to get that done while waiting. Thanks! 🙂

So we are almost a month into winter and I've been so busy working on my house that up until today, I didn't realize that we just haven;t gotten any real snow yet to warrant putting the plow on my grizzly. So that got me thinking, what are the latest plows out there and what ATV plows are the best? I've got 2 snow plows for my grizzly, a quadboss pile driver atv plow set up and a snowsport ATV plow. They are both a bit dated now and I tend to stick with the snowsport due to ease of use and I just like it so much. So if you have a plow on your ATV, please let us know what it is and post a picture with your atv/plow would be awesome. Would also like to know what you like and dislike about it.
This is back a while when I did a write up on these 2 plows.... in 2009 I got the snowsport and in 2012 I got the quadboss.
