I am located near Lebanon Pennsylvania, USA.  Will be using my Sportsman mostly for hunting and occasional trail riding.  Went through Sault Ste. Marie several years ago on my motorcycle.  I have a friend who lives in Houghton Mi  (on the other side of the  UP.).  And drove up for a visit.  Beautiful country where you live.

Howdy slarpa in Finland! how is the weather over there? winter coming soon? there is already enough snow up in the mountains near us for snowmobiling!

Hello Spok58,

We still waitin snow, hopefully it rains soon... but nowadays never know what kind of winter is. If we don’t get snow then we have to be content with ice fishing 🙂

Hello!

My name is James, a newcomer from North Carolina. Growing up, my father repaired motorcycles and ATVs for a living, so naturally I inherited the love motorsports and tinkering from him.

Personally, I'm more of a motorcycle guy (*gasp* I know, blasphemy), but I recently acquired my own first real quad: a 2000 Yamaha Big Bear 400 4x4! It needs quite a bit of work, but I'm looking forward to the challenge that I may expand my skills and knowledge. Now if I can just track down a service manual... 🤔

I look forward to getting to know and learn from you guys!

~ James

Don’t have a lot of experience fixing quads in general.  I have an 01 Sportsman that I just finished putting back together.  Bought a repair manual and watched a lot of youtube posts and got it done.  Bought most of my parts on Ebay or facebook marketplace.  Was a time consuming PITA project but I just had it up north deer hunting aand it worked great.  Good luck to you.

Hi-

I'm a 70 yr old retired RN with a mid-late 90's Kawasaki Bayou 300 4x4 which has been babied by the PO who bought it new. 

He put a plow on it and built a blade lift using a Mercedes power window motor.  Plows great for about 45 minutes then the battery is pretty well drained...

Has worked well for me for a couple of Montana winters but it lost both forward and reverse suddenly while plowing-no warning, no noises, no grinding, no burning smell-nothing.

Posted a new topic on it here last week but so far no one has chimed in with any thoughts:     

My riding experience has been pretty much limited to plowing and trips down to the mailbox ~ 1.4 miles away.

Too bad, since I live in the heart of God's country [NW Montana's Flathead valley].

If there are any local folks with Bayous who have experience with their innards I'd love to make your acquaintance!

I bought a used sportsman that was used on a Christmas tree farm.  I wound up having to take just about the whole thing apart.  Seemed like every time I took a part off I found 2 more that needed replacing.  If you are mechanically inclined at all I found a lot of helpful information on youtube.  I am 72 and it took me awhile but it is finished and worked well when we went hunting this year.  Good luck to you.

      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!

      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.

      Hi all, from Virginia here. This winter I bought a old Atv to tinker with and have really enjoyed it. Thanks for this forum.
