I love the new 700s. Would love to be able to go pick one of those up :)

I lust over them every time I see them at the dealer (ask lildaisygrl, she'll tell ya!).

I'm not sure what year your previous Rhino was, but a $5200 trade in is a good deal for the dealer, if they fix it up, esp if you put the stock hood and such back on it. But I think this will hurt you if you bring this to the good ole American justice system. You're entitled to damages. Damages are now longer to repair, it's the value you would have lost on the trade in. Did the dealer tell you how much they would have given you on trade in, if it was mint? I believe used retail value on them is between 7-8500 depending on extras and such. Just an FYI to be prepared on if they try to go this route in the defense. Not sure if you'll have to disclose this in small claims or not.

Would be nice to have the judgement so when he chooses not to pay you can go after his assets/property. Check with local law, if he is a business owner (you're sueing the father I assume right?) or a home owner. You can get a lien placed on either the business or his home. Stick it to uhm :)

The other one we had was an 06. I left the Full Bore body kit on it, FMF pipe and BRP CDI box. That topped out at about 56mph. Stock is 42. The upgraded suspension on the 08 is unbelievable. If you want one I highly recommend getting one. It is well worth the money.

I disclosed the info about the damages to the salesman. He didn't tell his bosses and they didn't see it on inspection. So they gave us as if mint. But I'm in REAL good with that salesman so I could even get him to write me something that says they would have given us more.

I will have the new one even better. So far it has after market tires/wheels and bumper with hid lights. To come is a CDI box from BRP(Black Rhino Performance), FMF exhaust, k&n filter with pre filter. I'm gonna remove the whole airbox. Get a juice box from 2 brothers which allows you to change the fuel mapping on the EFI. That should get it up to about 55-56 MPH. From BRP I'm also getting the harness bar so I can mount the 4 point simpson belt.

you wear seatbelts in those things?:huh:

does it shift like a car?

No, it has just high/low and reverse. But you can switch it from 4 wheel drive to 2 wheel drive and lock diffs all with the push of a button. Yeah, we wear seat belts. If you roll the rhino, that's 1200 lbs that you are gonna be bouncing inside of. Most common injury with SxS is people getting legs and arms crushed. Seat belts help prevent these things.

can u get a pic of the inside?

So today started out great. Blue skys, warm air. We loaded the toys up to go play in the mountains. We arrive, everything is unloaded and we ride about 3/4 mile down a dirt road to get to the actual trail. I'm leading with Rhino not far behind when some 15 year old DUMB AS* on a YZ250 comes flying around a blind corner at about 40-50mph coming towards us. Luckily I slowed down for the corner and stayed to the inside when he went flying out of control around the outside. He smacked right into the Rhino peeling the rim off the tire, sliced the tire in 2 spots, ripped the corner of the hood. Ball joint is tweeked, that is what is obvious. I'm taking it to the shop tomorrow.

Oh yeah about the schmuck. He flew over the bars and schattered his collar bone on the roll cage. His dad is paying for it.

I'll post pics of the damage later.

I just hope the kid learns a lesson from it. Sounds like his dad is being reasonable so maybe he will.

You need to read the next 10 pages when he found out that it was 5000 bucks to fix. That's when he decided it was our fault, were getting ready for court.

I have all the respect in the world for you old guys. My dad's 50, not that old, but he can pass me at anytime he wants to sitting down. About 15 years ago my dad did the Baja 1000 on a bike. He and his teammates went into the race all cocky because they were the top 4 desert racers in AZ. They finished, averaged about 67 MPH. Johnny Campbell's team took 1st and averaged about 95 MPH. Campbell still races, and he hasn't slowed down. That's fast.

damm septic just backed up after 11 years- now I cant concentrate, sorry!

yeah when we were young[this will include your Dad] we did some really stupid things with crappy tires and 3 inches of suspension. I'll bet your Dad has some cool stories....I do and I'm a little older than he is but not enuf to matter in dirt bike terms.

We are the reason you guys now enjoy 12"+ of suspension! the jeremy mcgraths of the world can thank our kidneys and bladders just for starters LOL.

I bot rear shox for my DKW from Charlie Curnutt out of his garage in the late 60's. charlie who?

those days are gone.....

;p

WOW that wasnt that big a bike! 450 at most, I would guess a 250. and the locals weren't trying to kill you for parts??? I don't go near that country anymore. that's one of the reasons haha. and no, the other did not involve tequila.....:confused:

that looks like here in september, the damm dust is like talcum powder and LOVES goggles! being an old fart I wear bifocals under the goggles and it can make for a frustrating day.... at the end of the day we all smell like goats, look like phantoms, after shave smells kinda like budweiser and we swap stories! this is what living is all about my friend!

:jimlad:

got the atc185 running today! it was the CDI box. $158 from Honda, 34.98 w/ 3 yr wty on ebay. started on the first pull! needs a little carb work but I can handle that. It SAVED my grandkids vacation! I need one more ride- they had 4 out of 5 on the trail today! IT WAS COOL

If anyone knows of a friend in need of a pulse generator or electronic advance, I have both which I don't need. tested good. very reasonable. ;p

Welcome to COHVOPS

this is the riding area we created.....check it out, you guys can do it too.

Welcome to COHVOPS

Welcome to COHVOPS

just to make sure. let me tell you about the USFS experiment:

this is[was?] the largest riding area in the USA operated, maintained and policed by the USFS and a local MC/ATV club. COMAC. it is currently 320 miles of trails, 110,000 acres of groomed, marked and mapped trails with 4 campgrounds with potties plus you can ' primitive camp' if you want within reason. Since a large amount of the lumber still comes from ORYGUN we are still a bit touchy about fire [like drilling oil wells right?] we REQUIRE SPARK ARRESTERS and also honor other states' off road stickers but if you are without ours are only $11.00 for 2 years and you'll have this cool sticker when you get home. check out the site/link for more info. questions just email me. we all know the gumment dont we? ;p

I have room for ya and am looking forward to it!!!!yer gonna love it

Posted

:aargh:come on dude we have room for ya ! the pacific is only 300 miles away- how many chances do you expect to get? I'll even loan you a quad, atc185 cool enuf? cmon man! :huh:

BOT you are on all I have to do is buy an extra dozen eggs and a box of beer a day LOL. Now if 'honey'; is coming, we'll get nicer stuff LOL

      Mud riding is one of the most popular forms of ATV riding, but the wrong tires can leave you stuck fast in deep ruts and swampy trails. Choosing the best ATV tires for mud can dramatically improve traction, steering control, flotation, and overall off-road performance.
      Whether you ride trails, mud parks, swamps, or backwoods terrain, this guide covers some of the top ATV mud tires available today and what makes them stand out.
      What Makes a Good Mud ATV Tire?
      Mud tires are designed with aggressive tread patterns and deep lugs that help clean out thick mud while maintaining traction. The best mud tires usually feature:
      Deep tread lugs Wide spacing for self-cleaning Strong sidewalls Taller tire sizes for added clearance Durable construction for rough terrain 1. Maxxis Zilla

      The Maxxis Zilla is one of the most popular ATV mud tires because it balances mud performance with trail comfort. It is lightweight, aggressive, and performs well in a variety of terrain conditions.
      Why Riders Like It
      Excellent mud clean-out Lightweight design Smooth trail ride Available in many ATV sizes Best For: Trail riders who also spend time in mud.
      2. ITP Cryptid

      The ITP Cryptid is designed for serious mud riding with deep tread lugs and strong sidewall construction. It provides excellent traction in deep mud while remaining durable on rough trails.
      Features
      Deep aggressive tread 6-ply durability Strong side bite traction Great for lifted ATVs Best For: Deep mud and swamp riding.
      3. Outlaw 2 ATV Tires

      The Outlaw 2 has become a favorite among hardcore mud riders thanks to its massive lugs and impressive pulling power in thick mud.
      Pros
      Extreme mud traction Large tread design Excellent forward bite Popular in mud parks Cons
      Rougher ride on trails Heavier than trail-oriented tires Best For: Dedicated mud machines and mud bogs.
      4. STI Out & Back Max

      The STI Out & Back Max offers a solid balance between aggressive mud performance and everyday trail comfort.
      Highlights
      Durable sidewalls Great traction in loose terrain Smooth handling Long tread life Best For: Utility ATVs and hunting machines.
      5. SuperATV Assassinator

      The Assassinator is built for extreme mud riding and features huge paddle-style lugs capable of digging through the nastiest swamp conditions.
      Features
      Massive tread depths Extreme mud traction Available in oversized setups Designed for hardcore mud riders Best For: Extreme mud builds and dedicated swamp riders.
      Choosing the Right Mud Tire Size
      25-27 Inch Tires
      Great for stock ATVs Less drivetrain strain Better acceleration 28-30 Inch Tires
      Balanced performance More ground clearance Popular for trail mud riding 32+ Inch Tires
      Maximum mud performance Best for lifted ATVs Ideal for deep swamp riding Larger tires may require clutch upgrades, lift kits, or gear reductions depending on your ATV.
      Bias vs Radial Mud Tires
      Bias Ply Tires
      Stronger sidewalls Better puncture resistance Popular for aggressive mud riding Radial Tires
      Smoother ride quality Improved handling Better trail comfort Most serious mud riders prefer bias-ply tires because of their durability in harsh terrain.
      ATV Mud Tire Maintenance Tips
      Wash mud off after every ride Check tire pressure regularly Inspect sidewalls for damage Rotate tires periodically Avoid excessive pavement riding Lower tire pressure can improve mud traction, but beadlock wheels are recommended for very low PSI setups.
      Final Thoughts
      The best ATV tires for mud depend on your riding style and terrain conditions. Riders who split time between trails and mud often prefer versatile tires like the Maxxis Zilla, while hardcore mud riders typically choose aggressive options like the Outlaw 2 or Assassinator.
      Before upgrading to oversized mud tires, make sure your ATV can handle the added weight and drivetrain stress. Proper setup can dramatically improve your ATV’s performance in deep mud and swamp terrain.

      I have a Harbor Freight tire changer. I could not get the tires off the rim.

      I have a 94 Trail Boss 250 2wd that will not go into forward. Reverse works great but forward just clicks but won’t engage. I’ve verified the shift lever is pushing far enough so I believe I have either an engagement “dog” or mating forward gear that are likely bad. I also see a fair amount of metal on the dipstick magnet. But if I ride the machine in reverse the gearbox seems quiet with no other issues by what I hear. That said I’m in process of pulling the gearbox to see what parts I need. The gearbox has 1341124 as the model number as shown in the photo below but I can’t find any gearbox on eBay or the Polaris parts site that matches that number. Is this 94 model a year that used some special gearbox? My tag on the box even looks different than all the tags on gearboxes I see for sale on eBay. I really want to buy new parts for the ones damaged in my gearbox to fix the one I have but just doing research at this point to see what gearbox I have to know which parts I need. Anyone with experience with this I welcome some advice or direction from what you have learned. Just FYI this machine is new to me but cranks, runs and idles perfect. It’s not beat up and will be a gem when I get this tranny fixed. Thanks.

      Okay so I bought this 1997 sazuki king quad from a guy and he had it for a few years. 
      He had it registered and on the trails last year but he said it bogged and backfired when he would try to drive it. so it sat for a year. 
      I bought it for 800 bucks and got it running that night and it ran great for a few days 
      But I parked it the other night and went to start it again and it was really hard to fire up and when I did it was bogging and idling high then low again.
      So I took the carb out and cleaned it (ended up doing it twice because it was still doing the same thing) 
      Now today I have it running slightly better, but it is still like 20% 
      I have been looking it up and trying to figure it out but I can't find the issue, has anyone else had this problem? I'll attach a video of it running and giving some throttle
