Good day everyone!
I am pretty new to ATV/UTV/Small engine repairs and would like input on your absolute must-have specialty tools for maintenance and repairs. Aside from the obvious wrenches and sockets, what are some more specialty type tools you use for troubleshooting? I don't plan to open a repair shop or anything, I just do this as a hobby. Looking forward to your responses!

Hey everyone,
I'm seriously considering a CFMOTO 600 Touring but keep hearing mixed feedback about parts and dealer support depending on where you live.
Before I pull the trigger, I'd love to hear from actual owners:
- How long do parts usually take if your dealer doesn't stock them?
- Have you had any warranty work done? Was it smooth or a headache?
- Does your dealer provide decent service, or are you stuck doing everything yourself?
The value proposition is hard to ignore - seems like you get 30% more features for the money compared to the Big 3. But I'm trying to figure out if the potential service headaches are worth the upfront savings.
Would love to hear real-world experiences, especially from owners 2+ years in. What should a potential buyer know before committing?

I got asked to work on a pair of Yamaha 350's. One has grizzly stickers, one has bruin stickers. Both are 2wd, straight rear axle. Not sure what year. I'd guess '04-'08.
Both have a no start condition. Both have been sitting 2+ years. One came with box of parts the owners 15 year old kid removed to try and get it running.
Started working on one last night. Pulled the rack, front plastic, fuel tank, recoil starter, carburetor.
Removed petcock from tank, cleaned screens, made sure if flows air, reinstalled.
Drained fuel tank, put in fresh fuel, swirled it around, letting is soak and will drain and check it later.
Cleaned up the motor a bit since its covered in mud. Checked the valves. The intake had less zero, actually, probably less than zero clearance. The valve seems like it was hanging open just a touch even at TDC.
The exhaust had maybe .004 clearance. I assume that went to zero once running.
Adjust intake to .008. Adjusted exhaust to .018
Scrubbed the carb in a sink with a toothbrush, dawn, and water. It looked like a mudball.
After that, sprayed it down with carb clean and took it to the bench. A/F screw was 1.75 turns out. I'm thinking this is a factory setting. It seems like this machine was never touched by a mechanic. All the jets actually seemed clear. The bowl had minimal residue in it.
That about as far as I made it for the night. Going to get a fresh plug, clean the air filter, add some fresh gas, and see if it will run. If so, I'll probably clean up the oil cooler before putting it back together. Maybe change the engine oil and rear diff fluid too.

So here where I live in Newfoundland Canada, they let you drive your bike on the road provided it’s registered and insured same goes for crossing highways but on trails you don’t need to be insured. And I don’t even think you need a full license to insure your bike they said it was up to the insurance company. I’m trying to get my old 1985 Suzuki 250 registered they have to do a search for it to make sure it hasn’t been in anyone else’s name first. Hopefully it comes back clean I am pretty excited
