i just about had an oops yesterday. i had to change my rear sprocket again and i took my wheel off . replaced the sprocket put the wheel back on. then i went for a quick ride around the block . got a mile down the road and my quad was wabbling really bad. then i realized i forgot to tighten the lugnuts on the wheel. that could have turned into something really bad.

When I was about 14 and weighed a hundred pounds, I had a Honda Big Red, 200 3 wheeler. A friend and I would ride over to a lake that had what we called a spillway- maybe 10 ft high concrete dam that we would ride up and park our bikes on top of and look out over the lake. The Big Red had reverse, so I got the bright idea to put it in reverse and burn rubber as I backed down from the top of the spillway. Was a blast until I hit the rear brake, while traveling downhill, backwards. That thing flipped back on my skinny as* and those handlebars hurt pretty bad when they landed on my ribs. The kid I was with was smaller than I was and I was thinking, "there's no way he can get this thing off me- I'm gonna die at the spillway..." he got it off tho, and I learned not to do that again...

My best Oops (read that: embarrassing) to date is the second time I had my Kazuma out to the Red River. I was coming down a pretty rutted out trail and my ride decided to explore the right side of the trail suddenly throwing me off to the left. The beautiful part was how I hit the horn twice real quick as I went down. Beep! Beep! The large group or RZRs sitting out in the sand were all quite amused.

Back in my younger days of racing motor cycles, we were on the Ice at Whitmore lake practicing on a roundy round track. When coming off the ice it cracked and swallowed my front wheel. At times like this you find out who your friends really are. Thin ice, lake, cold, wet water. I had a rope thrown to me and tied it to my back wheel, jumped in the lake, (near shore 3ft deep) and lifted my bikes wheel while the guys pulled on the rope. No one would come near me to help. Would I do it again, you bet I would only on a quad now.....

a couple of years ago i got the crazy idea to make a big air jump out at the gravel pit. i hit the top of the hill doing about 60mph, the jump was flawless except for the landing, i was coming down for a perfect landing too, except for the washout that i t-boned the front end into, 60 to dead stopped instantly, broke wrist, 4 broken ribs, had to ride back out after i was finally able to breathe again

I had a big oops working in the garage a few years ago. Its not ATV related but I needed to cut the end off an extension cord so that I could wire it up to a light. I grabbed the pliers and then checked to make sure the cord was plugged in and turned on (stupid) and proceeded to cut it.

After the loud bang I looked down to find the pliers missing a chunk of metal where the the wire had sparked. Luckily the handles were insulated!

      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.

      I have a 2016 Arctic Cat 500 and recently noticed some oil leaking on the engine block to the right of the oil filter. It's near two metal lines going in and out of the engine block. I think one of the lines is called an engine oil line. I have a photo I'm going to try and attach. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to start tearing into the engine if I don't have to. I think maybe a gasket or something blew around one of these lines. The ATV runs fine otherwise. Doesn't overheat or anything.
