What kind?


Recommended Posts

What kind of riding do you prefer? Do you like trails, dunes, track, or drag strip? What's your poison?

I prefer trails over anything. There is nothing like running through the woods and having to deal with all the elements. Trails truly test a riders ability. I know I can't air my quad out like alot of guys do but I can fly through logs, water crossings, I've passed big 4x4 quads on my 450 with 4" of ground clearance through some nasty rock fields. Rocks the size of volleyballs and bigger.(god bless skid plates) MX is cool but it is very repetitive, the dunes get old and dragging, well it's too short of a ride.

I'm not trying to start a battle here, just some opinions.:wink:

Trails for me......and that's what it's all about.......for _me_.......

Never rode dunes....but would like to one day....

Never dragged.....never intend to......but like to go WOT

on straights every now and again! ;)

Rode an oval a few times.....some jumps on the side.....

I'm not into racing, so that was boring ;)

Quadcross looks fun....to ride, not to race.....

In the spirit of the thread...that's what works for me....

(god bless skid plates)

word! my skids saved my as* numerous times. if it wasnt for my rear skid, i wouldve already went thru 2 or 3 swingers.

i love mx,theres not better feelin in then world passin a modded 450 with a stock 400 :yes: but its to damn expensive to get ur quad set up for it.

i ride trails every weekend, and when i ride its wide open.

the trails are XC styled, sorta narrow. and the trails is never the same. after every rain it morphs into something new. so it never gets old.

i love gettin in 4th gear pinned and hydroplaning a water crossing.

i always look for natural jumps to have some fun with but i hardly ever find any worth getting on camera.

i dont drag race. i think its worthless. it doesnt test the rider. it tests the machine IMO

quadcross looks rough as hell. but i wanna try it so badly

If I wanted to be a funny prick, I would say you're right she is fun. But I don't.

J/K kidding BB, how you doing buddy?

Hey I can take ! If I can look in the mirror everyday and not die laughing, I must have just a tad bit of a sense of humor. Doing pretty good! Going back up to Mich on Labor Day weekend!

      My friends KQ 300 starts fine and runs, as soon as you put it in gear and try to accelerate its bucks and farts like crazy, not moving... I cleaned carb and it worked good for 1 day... now back to same problem.... could it be such as a bent valve????

      If you had to choose one mod that you couldn't live without, or had to recommend one what would it be?

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

      I am working on a basket case for a friend.  It is a 98 Big Bear (YFM350FWB).  It came with a parts machine which is a 96, which I am coming to find out is VERY different from his machine.
       
      Anyway, first thing is first.  I checked compression, 150psi.  Valves are set correctly, and the engine is in time.  I cleaned the carb, and there was some junk in the passages.  It is a chinese carb, which I figured from the lack of markings or lettering altogether.
       
      The bike runs.  It idles ok, but breaks up badly under acceleration.  Pulling a new spark plug shows it is running lean.  White strap, with no black whatsoever.  So I have the carb adjusted with the mixture screw out way too much (about 5 turns), and the diaphragm needle lifted to the top slot.  It is still not getting enough fuel (or too much air).  It backfires through the carb, and cannot get above idle without carrying on.  The carb boot is in good shape, so it isn't pulling any air there.  I did test this as well by spraying ether around the boot when running, looking for intake leaks.
       
      Anything big I am missing here?  I am starting to believe that this chinese carb is the issue.  This quad came with the original carb, which I would like to rebuild and use, but the mixture screw is totally stuck, and stripped way down in its recess.  
       
      Thanks for any assistance.

      Does anyone use GPS, whether on a device or app to record their ATV trail rides? I have been thinking about a section where our members can upload let's say a .gpx file and share their rides on a google map for others to see where there are riding areas. Not sure if this is something of interest or how much it would be used, so just trying to get an idea.
      Importing routes from files like xml, lmx, tour, freshroute, gpx, kmz, kml
