Hello to everyone, I'm new here. I've been riding 3, and 4 wheelers (4X4's) for over 25 years. I started riding a DS650 last March, I bought ( he didn't want to sell it to me, because he don't want me to get hurt ) it from my oldest son. He bought it new in 2005, a leftover 2004. I always liked it because of the way it rode, the suspension is soft compared to his 450R. I know its a big sport quad, but I also ride a Honda Rincon, and still do. So the DS is like a toy to me. My question is this I'd like to put a steering stabilizer on it, because on a good dirt road at high speeds the steering is twitchy. I don't care for that very much, I was looking at a streamline stabilizer at Rocky Mountain ATV/MC Its also rebuildable for a fair price. Any replies are welcome, thanking you in advance, Anthony

the stabilizer will be your best investment by far.. the stick types are cheaper then the puck.. ccp makes a good one that can be rebuilt.. i got a moose one from my local dealer for just over a hundred bucks.. that was with a discount but it is like 150 retail.. it should be in on tuesday.. i have rode another quad with one and loved it

Well I installed my staiblizer on Saturday the 8th, went riding Sunday. I really like it, on the really rocky trails the stabilizer shines!!! On the rocky and rut filled trails, it's awesome as well. I really like it. I'd like to thank everyone for their input, and it was relatively easy to install. I had no problem at all. I put the stabilizer as low as I could on the steering stem as per the instructions. I have the stabilizer just above the steering stem bearing, and just below the first crossmember. When you're looking at the 4 wheeler from the front view, you can't see it unless you know it's there and I like that. Just to remind everyone, I ride a 2004 DS650. Once again thanks to all, Anthony

      Looking to buy a new SUV
      By Gwbarm
      I have been exploring all the options available, so many, its hard to choose. I have kind of narrowed it down to the Honda Pilot, Subaru Outback, and Kind of looking at the Outlander, although its a little small,  the new one is nice looking. Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations or gripes with any of these rides. I have driven Jeeps for the past 25  years and they have been great, but their price point has gotten to high. Expieriences good or bad would be helpful. Thanks!

      98 arctic cat 300 2x4 hi rev choke when started
      By Its-always-something
      Have a 1998 AC 300 2x4, Just installed a new carburetor. Engine starts easy but the choke RPMs are very hi and take along time (5-10 mins when cold out). After engine has warmed up choke releases and it idles and runs fine., It does no have an electric choke. The choke lever is never used and it seems like an auto choke? Long story short, how can I lower the choke rpm levels?
       
      Also, carb came with a spare145 jet, not 100% sure what is installed. Could this impact choke RPMs?
       
       
      Any help and information greatly appreciated.

      Hi, I have been around everything with a motor since I was little, and finally purchased more to get my husband, and kids involved. I have 4 quads I will be searching around for information on. I have two 2002 Suzuki LT80K quads, a 1997 Yamaha Timberwolf 250, and a 1996 Kawasaki Bayou 220. I have had different ones throughout the years, and plan on buying another Yamaha Banshee. I plan on trying to learn more about all of them, so I can customize some of them. I know nothing about them besides how to race them, my dad always took care of the rest, but figured it was time for me to learn.
