Thanks for the info Raptor 8. It is going back to the shop.

Mikey, what the hell was that guy trying?

I dont know what he was trying to do but I laughed pretty hard the first time I saw that.

Newest info for the fine folks at "QuadCrazy". So the little behind-hole actually bent the frame. It pushed the lower A-arm back and buckled the frame where it mounts. NOT REPAIRABLE! So we're charging the guy for the cost of a new frame and all the labor to put a new frame on and then we are buying an 09 Rhino 700 with EFI. Also no more payment plan, all of it very soon or we go to court. The situation has changed, my machine is totaled.

Were gonna go look at them tonight. Don't have the room for 2 rhinos in the garage plus my quad plus kristins car. I could be dishonest and adjust the tierod so the tire sits straight and then sell it as good. But I would feel horrible if someone got hurt because of me. Not much that we will change is interchangable. I think the body is. I still have the stock bumper and stock body. I can put those back on and if they don't fit the 09 I will sell them. The CDI is not so I will put the stock back in and sell the CDI. The new rims will fit so I will put the new stockers on the old rhino. I found a guy that will probably buy the 06 and fix it himself.

That's what I'm saying. I don't know what to do. I want to keep this Rhino b/c of the work we've put into it. At the same time I want a new one for the bigger motor and better suspension. And with that we have a clean slate to do the after market stuff again.

Wow,,,,,,That Sucks.....but I knew it might be pretty Spendy....my buddies took off by itself down a Gentle Slope and Kissed a Tree......Bent this CHIT too...:confused: He found a good Welder that was able to Make a Jig and Straighten the Frame out....Then welded in some Gussets....Now its better than new.....

Hope everything works out for ya...

wow that stinks, i hit a tree today, tried to slide around a corner, hit a stick and the thing rolled over and the front tire hit a tree and the back end swung around and hit me, it hurt!:censored:

Yeah Bot that is a lot of money but I understand you want your bike right. You might think of getting it fixed putting all the stock parts you can back on it and then selling buying a new one and putting the aftermarket parts on the new one.

Getting that one fixed is not an option. We have a riding trip in a few weeks and it won't be done. I have all the stock parts still. I'm gonna put them all back on except the exhaust cuz I had to cut the old one out. The bumper will fit the new one, the rims and maybe the body I still have to find out. What doesn't fit I will sell.

Yes, the bill is still on him. We will go to court if it comes to that. I'm telling him I want my money by Aug. 1st. If not...Judge Judy, here we come. We will be going to civil court.

      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
