Just a few things I have noticed in the Short time that I have owned this Jeep.....

1. It leans to the Drivers side....More in the Rear of it than anything...Kinda Like Suspension Sag....Is this a normal thing for these guys or is it something I need to look into.....

2. Sometimes when driving it around a corner I can feel something in the Rear kinda "Kick Loose" or Shift Back...If that makes any sense....But when I crawl under it,,,,It seems like everything is still "Right and Tight".....Any thoughts on this????

3. Despite the 2 things listed above....The Kewl factor for me is just Never Ending....I LOVE to drive this Jeep...

1. Was your father mainly the only person in the Jeep when it was driven. No passengers most of the time. If the answers is yes, it is could drive sag. Very common during the 70's and 80's on most vehicles. New springs will cure this.

2. Spring packs being lose and or wore out can cause this Also tired shocks. A locking rear end can amplify this affect.

3. Iwant to see a picture of your purdy MUG shot in the Jeep.

No thanks needed. Just sharing from what I learned while working for dad. Back in the day that was how most trucks around here were set up.

Man that thing is in great shape. I thought it was a newer jeep from the pic in the other post. Sounds to me like the left side leaf spring is sagging. You can get leaf spring support kit.."add a leaf" or something like that. One tip..JCWhitney has a ton of stuff for Jeeps! Jeep Helper Spring at JC Whitney

I don't own a jeep, but have worked on them and my friend owned an 85 or 86 CJ7.

      2007 Yamaha Big Bear IRS Short
      By jeffinotown
      Hey guys and gals. I've been working on my friends 2007 big bear IRS. Unfortunately after 3 different people got their hands on it and only made things worse every time.  After months of finding just crazy problems everywhere. I'm finally at the point we're its almost 100% !!! But I'm getting a short somewhere between the 4xW switch I believe. I managed to by searching the internet like a  fiend, got my hands on an official Yamaha wire harness for the year and make. But I don't have the numbered component list and to be honest. After hours of going through and making everything so it's  easy to reference. If anyone has a picture of the referenced components. I would be forever in your debt. I've spent hours marking up the blown up diagram so it will be easy, for any possible future repairs. Please and thank you. Here's a picture of what i have so far.  Unsealed it in plastic so oil and crap won't spill or get smudged. This damn things worth it's weight in gold.              Thanks Jeff                2007 Yamaha big bear 400 IRS.       YFM40FBW

      1993 Trail boss 350L 2 stroke boggs down after 200 yards running normal
      By andyt
      I have a 1993 Polaris Trail Boss 350L 2- stroke.  after about 200 yards or so of driving the motor boggs down.....it will stay idling but if I floor it, it will die.....if I turn it off and wait a few minutes I can turn it back on and go like hell for another  couple hundred yards.... I thought the pilot might be worn out(I have it nearly closed now)......maybe the choke plunger isn't sealing or the Bowl isn't filling quick enough.....any suggestions would be appreciated.

      These Bayous with No Spark.. What in the world.
      By Eric C
      I have looked at every thread I feel like, but with no resolution. Its always the same with a no spark issue: 
      Replaced CDI, 
      Replaced Pickup Coil (Pulsar)
      Good continuity from CDI to green white wire at ignition coil.
      No Pulse at ignition coil on the green white wire. (testing with test light on Pos of battery.)
      Good 12+ V on the hot side of ignition coil.
      I swapped the wires around on the Pulsar.
      The grounds seem to be good for the blk/y wires throughout bike.
      Brand new battery.
      Brand new stator and Pulsar
      Tried 2 new CDIs
      Brand new rectifier
      I get about 300 Micro A/C volts across the two wires on Pulsar when cranking.
      I am currently cleaning the connections on the rectifier because they were burnt. I am not even sure if it makes a difference because I am told that doesn't produce spark anyway and is only for charging system.
      The fly wheel looks OK, is the pulsar supposed to be connected in the direction with the metal "Button" facing towards the flywheel?
      My bike is a 1995 bayou 300, but I seem to come across same issues on web but no resolution on these things.
