I am not sure my cooling fan is working for my oil cooled engine.  I let it idle in my carport for close to one hour and it never came on,  I already tested the fan and it works fine , so right now I have a toggle switch that I placed on it to turn it off and on.  The thing is I am not sure how long it would actually take for the cooling fan to come on with a oil cooled engine,  so really I am not sure rather it is working are not if it takes even longer then the time I let it idle to come on.  Can someone give me an ideal about it and the best way to test it to be sure before I start buying anything?

      1996 Yamaha Timberwolf 4x4 Rear End Width
      By McG75
      1996 4x4 Timberwolf rearend width. Can someone with some knowledge of these machines answer this question for me please. Are all 4x4 timberwolves this narrow in the rearend? These tires are so close the right one actually rubs the muffler.  Thinking about seeing if there are any spacers out there for it. I need at least an inch more clearance.

      2005 Bruin 350cc Oil pumping into airbox
      By BruceG
      Hi guys. I have a problem where the quad will start and run well for about 5 minutes and then it dies. On inspection the airbox has oil in it (quite a lot). The oil is pumping through the cylinder head breather hose. This problem first happened suddenly. I have since done the top end including, piston, gaskets, rings and valves. I have also done the carb (not that I thought that this was the problem). The compression seems normal. The only thing that I can think of, is that I did not grind the valves well enough. Anyone experienced this? If so, how did you fix it? Any other thoughts?

      In search of the backwoods nudist campsites and ready to select the right ATV.
      By mehim
      Hi everyone. 
      Let me explain the thread title. 
      My husband and I are very active in the nudist community, and we have stayed at many and most of the mainstream nudist and clothing optional campgrounds in the USA. We are now approaching our retirement and would like to start a podcast to share those off the road / backwoods / little known camping areas where nudity is allowed. We have purchased a 5th wheel camping trailer with a rear garage for the ATV and now need some good reports on the one to buy. 
      We are most interested in a side by side unit but would love to get your thoughts. 
      Feel free to stop by and say Hi and ask anything you would like to better understand what we are looking for in an offroad unit. 
      Thanks for reading and hope to hear from you.
