My name is Tim, I was born and raised in Hibbing, MN, small town in Northern MN. I am 24 year old. I Have lived all throughout the world since i enlisted in the Army at 18-years-old. After enlisting, I have lived in LA, GA, MO, AZ, WA and now WA DC. While i was stationed in WA State, i deployed to Kosovo (Oct 01-May 02) and Iraq (Mar 03- Apr 04). Currently, I work for a government agency in WA DC and deploy to certain places in Latin America. Alright enough about work. I currently ride a 2004 Yamaha Banshee LE with a ton of mods, a list that keeps growing every month. The next mods will be the 5.5 gallon IMS fuel tank, Clutching (Including hydraulic clutch), LSR swingarm, Shave the heads, 2-in-1 carb kit, and an elka rear shock. I do most of the work on my quad myself. Although i discovered not to drink beer while working on the quad as i tend to forget to do things such as tightening my throttle cable back down. In the winter enjoy riding my snowmobiles in Upsate NY and Northern MN. I currently have a 2002 Polaris XC 500 VES and a 2004 Polaris Supersport 550. Other hobbies, I just bought a new 2006 Ford F150 Lariat in April so that has been another hobby of mine. I like to go to clubs and do alittle dancing, I think i dance better the more i drink. I hang out with my neighbors alot in the garages drinking beer and pretty dirtbikes and quads for races, which is usually followed by a BBQ. I am also a full time college student when i am in WA DC. I am currently 1 semester from my AA in General Studies and another AA in Intelligence Operations.

I have a brother and sister, my family all lives in MN. My brother also has a banshee set up for drags and my dad and brother just bought 2 brand new CAN AMs. They also all ride snowmobiles. Hmmmm I guess that is it, any questions please ask. It may take alittle bit to get back on here since i leave AZ in a week to travel back to WA DC for a month before i have to go overseas.

      Hi All.  I introduced myself some weeks ago with my 2006 LT-F400F that needed a list of repairs including replacing the cracked generator cover.  It is back together as of last night and cranks up, idles and revs high pretty well.  Needs some fine tuning and stop backfiring at stop.
      The big issue is it will not go into gear.  I reassembled the insides with help from y’all’s posts.  The transfer selector moves from H-L-R, and the foot shifter moves thru the gears and finds neutral easily enough.  Before I tear it back open, the  transfer selector on top does not move as far as the repair manual says.  The diagram shows the shaft moving something like 40 degrees between L and H and 50+ degrees between L and R but it doesn’t move that far even though it finds the indent areas and moves well.  
      Could this be the problem.  I aligned all the dots on the shifter gears inside and it appeared to not be binding anywhere.  I do hear the gears touching when I shift like they are trying to engage, but zero movement from the ARV
      It was somewhat difficult to tell whether all the parts are installed on each shaft.
      Are there better/bigger photos somewhere that would allow me to be confident I included all the washers and bushings, etc?  If I had any doubt on parts that were laying inside after the cover broke then I purchased replacements from online stores.
      TIA for any input or feedback!!  Pics are from when I first took the generator cover off.

      I rebuilt the top end on my 2007 Honda Trx500fe. It ran fine right after the rebuilt. But now when I try to crank it it blows Bach through the carburetor. I held my hand over the opening for the intake air and it blew gas back on my hand. Can figure out what happened all of a sudden. It was cranking and was able to ride it running through all the gears. Now can get it to crank just blowing gas back to the air filter. Need help again. Starting to think I should have walked away from this one.

      Hello my name is David, I have been riding for over 30 years ATV, dirt bikes, S x S you name it. I ride with a small group off and on though out the years. Currently, we have only three of us that have been riding this year and we are looking for more people to join us!
      If you're in the Northern California area and looking for people to join on weekend and day trip rides send me an email: [email protected]! We have been to many OHV sites all over the state and we usually try to meet up for a ride once a month. 
      I look forward to hearing from you!

      So I picked up a 1995 Yamaha warrior a while ago and it ran decent with quite a bit of power, I was able to wheelie like nobody’s business, but I noticed that the air filter box lid had bunch of holes drilled in the top and hole in the side, also the air filter itself was serving no function and there was a huge rip in it. So I got a new air box and new filter and when I installed it, the quad lost all power and acted like it was cutting out for split seconds at full throttle. For reference I think it was running rich before because it would backfire a lot so I think it’s just restricting air flow, but how would I adjust to that because I tried leaning out the carb as much as I could but it didn’t seem to do anything unless I put the other airbox lid on with the drilled holes.
      any help would be much appreciated
      Also even when I put the old lid on, it seemed like just the new air filter gave it enough restriction that it still wouldnt run right
