Hey all got a Kawasaki 300 that's seen better days I'm looking to get running.  But first, I'm working on a Honda 350 ES and mainly needing where are you all finding quality parts at good prices.  Atvs are really hot items around here right now and most of the folks wanting and needing them are not familiar with working on them.  I'm looking to find a good resource for information and if it works out well pass this group along to the folks I help to get them in the know how to get the most out of their machines.  Thanks in advance.

Foe OEM parts I use mainly motorsport.com or RockymountainMCATV.com they sell Aftermarket parts also fairly reasonable. I also use Amazon for aftermarket and Ebay for used OEM if unavailable. Things can be kind of iffy on Ebay you have to look closely if you are buying used for damage or not right fitment, plus you have to look for a good price, some sellers sell them high. Plus some of the OEM parts are so outrageously priced you have to go used. There are many online suppliers and I only use these because they have good customer service, and very helpful people.

I just quit ebay myself, their guarantee to fit. Doesn't matter at all bought new parts and old past 2 months recently have had to send back because of wrong parts.  Guess ebays people don't CHK things out of if sellers are actually on the know.many sellers refuse to refund and will fight you on if a part is actually the part you need.  Just to much  of a hassle, please buy from places like rocky mountain,oem if you can and rocky mountain does have used parts that they CHK with their mechanics and guaranteed also.  Good luck

Yes that why I say you have to be careful with eBay it has helped me with expensive Oem parts lately  , you really don’t want to put a 600 carb on a 700 quad, you really have to pick and choose what is the most economical and still come up with the same good end result. But no not really a fan of eBay either.

      I WANTED TO UPGRADE THE CARBURATOR ON MY 1992 BIG BEAR 350, SO I ORDERED A NEW CARB FROM EBAY.  ACCORDING TO THE WRITE-UP IT WAS A GOOD FIT FOR BIG BEARS FROM 1988 TO 1996.  WHEN I REMOVED MY ORIGINAL CARB I NOTICED THAT IT WAS DIFFERENT FROM THE NEW CARB MY CARB HAD TWO THROTTLE  CABLES THE NEW CARB ONLY HAD ONE CABLE.  HOW CAN I MAKE THIS CARB WORK ON MY TWO CABLE THROTTLE?

      2022 Sector 550, 414 miles on it and the gas gauge reads empty.  I topped off the gas and it didn't change.
      There is no fuse that I could find.  No access at the gauge cluster.
      Wiring on the top of the tank looks good, properly connected.
      Could the sending unit in the tank be stuck or broken?
      Has anybody removed the tank lid?  Any tricks?  
      Any other ideas?
      Thanks for any help,
      Clyde

      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.
