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 ..

      So I have an 89 Yamaha moto 4 250cc and when I ride it, itll get hot after like 10-15 mins and then will just die and turn off.
      It's has new carb rebuild, new air filter, new battery, new spark plug so I don't think it's a crack in the spark plug
      Can anyone help me?

      Starting this build thread to keep up with everything on my build and hope to motivate someone!
       
      I picked up this 2008 Yamaha Big Bear 250 2 weeks ago. A guy that I hunt with parked it at the hunt club for a year or so before I asked him if he wanted to sell. He said " fill my feeder and throw some batteries in my cameras, and you can have it". Sounds like a deal to me! 
      I have attached some pictures of how it sat under a tarp in the woods and when I got it home and cleaned up a little.
