I live in SW Michigan and admittedly am a little late in joining a forum. Currently I own a 2000 Yamaha 250 Bear Tracker which I bought brand new way back in 2000. Over the years I've taken it to off road parks such as Badlands in Indiana and a place near me called "Kids in the mud. For the last five years the machine has been sitting but lately, I've caught the "bug" again and have been in the process of riding again. I'm also seriously looking at UTV's so my wife and I can both ride, but more on that later. At the time I bought the ATV,my budget only permitted a 250cc machine. People were telling me "You'll be sorry if you buy a 2-wheel drive machine." Since then, I've never had any problems except in heavy wet snow. Anyway, I'm happy to be here and am looking forward to maintenance tips and what others are saying about UTV's

Looks like your enjoying yourself. That's what life is all about,just a point allso. I've seen many side by sides and the ones that's impressed me the most about handling and the ride ,the way parts were available in different formats were the Kawasaki models. Old or new they are well built. Hope all the best. Take care out there and ride on ..

      94 Kawasaki Mojave 250 - No spark, Very confused
      By justent_88
      Hello, im looking for some input on this situation i have. My 94 Mojave has no spark, and i have no idea what it is. Ive replaced/tested the magneto, the pickup coil, cdi, the ignition coil. Even the key and Killswitch. I haven't tested the harness its self, but i have tried another harness and still nothing. The only thing i can think of is the fly wheel itself. I have found a lot of metal shavings in the fly wheel and have cleaned it the best I could. But nothing happened afterwards. I am truly stumped here and hoping some of yous could shed some knowledge/ideas that could help get this thing to fire.

      1997 Yamaha big bear 350 Shift shaft issue
      By HSTAR
      Hey I have a 1997 big bear 350 4x4
      I replaced the shifter shaft and the shift arm linkage and the rod when I installed them all I was unaware that you had to line the dot on the shifter shaft with the gap on the linkage arm gap put it all back  together and rode it I can't get it to shift in the right gears  I can move the shift cam by hand and goes in different gears but with the shifter shaft in it riding I can't put it in R or N 
      Anyone know how to line up the shifter shaft and the shift cam s

      1987 Yamaha Big Bear Electrical Troubleshoot
      By ResQ91
      Hi guys
      My 87 Bear 350 won't start and could use a hand.
      Turn key on and Oil light turns on and then slowly fades out. (I think this is key to this) No start, not even a tick.
      battery and connections good
      A Solenoid post jump turns it over
      Neutral Safety Switch wire attached and seems good
      It has not had a wire/switch on Rear Brake Pedal ever since I had it.
      Any thoughts on some other things to troubleshoot this??
