Nice R Demon :yes:I have 3or 4 buddys with old school quads and 3 wheelers

I love my R, it is a bit rude and unrefined compared to my LT-R. My LT-R rides like a Cadillac, and the CR 500 powered R is like wrestling with a bear, but when it comes to haulin as* and shredding dunes, you can't beat it.

CR500 powered R WOW I want to ride that beast
I wish i had a CR500 powered R lol, No more messing with these stupid things called valves and all that.

The 500R is alot of fun to ride, every now and then. The vibes that come from that non-counterballanced big bore motor tear the bike apart. It is alot better in the dunes, the soft sand helps absorb some of the vibration. The part where I don't have to mess with the valves is the next thing behind the power that the motor makes. It's also kind of fun to watch peoples expressions when I blow by their brand new Raptor 700s and 450s with a home made quad pwered by a 25 year old motor.

I know all to well about the "phantom gear" I look for it on my LT-R all the time, but I never find it. The 500R will hit around 90 when I run the 22/20 inch tires instead of the 20/18 setup I usually run, so I don't find my self looking for the extra gear as much on that one. It will pull the taller gearing with the big tires, but it is hard to ride in the tight trails since it doesn't do slow real well, it takes alot of clutch work and that clutch isn't exactly easy to pull.

      Just aquired this Honda 4514. I had heard of them and seen them but had never really looked at one. Amazing machine from the 90s.
      It has a 14 HP inline 2 cylinder engine. A cute little fan like the old school cars had and a little radiator. It has a timing belt on the back of the engine running the cam and a water pump. Just like a miniature car engine with  electronic clutches to turn blades on and off. Pretty hight tech for the 90s not a small thing and built like a tank weighs in at 600 pds hydrostatic trans. I have found out that almost anything you have to do to it the engine has to come out starter timing belt water pump. Very expensive parts i think most got junked for that reason, i did find out they were built by John Deere except for the honda engine.
      Does anyone here have any expierience with these.

      For ATV and UTV enthusiasts, regular maintenance is key to ensuring the longevity and performance of your vehicle. One of the most overlooked yet essential components is the battery. Just like in cars, ATVs and UTVs require a reliable power source to start the engine and power additional features like lights, winches, and electronic accessories. Understanding why changing your ATV and UTV battery at the right time is essential—and why Weize batteries are a top choice—can keep you out on the trails longer and reduce the risk of unexpected battery failures.
      Why Changing Your ATV/UTV battery is Crucial
      1. Prevent Unexpected Breakdowns
      Imagine being out in the wilderness, far from help, and suddenly your ATV won’t start. A reliable battery ensures that your vehicle can always start up, keeping you safe and ready for any situation. Old or degraded batteries lose their capacity to hold a charge, increasing the likelihood of sudden, inconvenient breakdowns.
      2. Improve Overall Performance
      A fresh battery doesn’t just guarantee startup; it also supports optimal performance. ATV and UTV batteries power important accessories, such as headlights, which are crucial for visibility in low-light conditions. A weak battery can dim your lights, affect the functioning of electric winches, and even disrupt GPS or other electronic equipment. A new, high-quality battery helps maintain the consistent power output necessary for these essential features.
      3. Extend the Life of Other Components
      An aging battery can strain other vehicle components. As the battery weakens, it requires more effort from the alternator and other electrical parts to maintain a charge. This added stress can wear down the electrical system over time. Replacing the battery on schedule can help to reduce strain on the alternator and prevent more costly repairs down the line.
      4. Adapt to Changing Seasons
      Temperature fluctuations can significantly impact battery life. Colder temperatures reduce battery efficiency, which can lead to issues during winter months, while extreme heat can cause rapid battery degradation. Changing your battery seasonally or before long periods of extreme weather can help avoid seasonal breakdowns and extend battery life.
      Why Choose Weize batteries for Your ATV or UTV?
      When it comes to replacement batteries, Weize is a top choice among ATV and UTV enthusiasts. Here’s why Weize batteries are particularly suitable for powering these rugged vehicles:
      1. Exceptional Durability
      Weize batteries are designed to withstand tough conditions, including off-road terrain, shock, and vibration. Whether you’re tackling rocky trails, mud, or hills, Weize batteries are built to last. Their rugged construction helps to ensure reliable performance even under the most challenging conditions.
      2. Long-Lasting Power
      Weize batteries use high-quality materials that allow for a stable charge and dependable discharge rate. This long-lasting power translates into fewer replacements, saving you money over the long run. Weize batteries are built to provide reliable starting power and can handle additional loads from accessories, ensuring that your ATV or UTV gets all the energy it needs.
      3. Low Maintenance and Easy Installation
      Weize batteries are designed with a focus on low maintenance and easy installation. Many models come pre-charged and sealed, meaning they’re ready to use right out of the box. This ease of installation makes them an ideal choice for riders who prefer a straightforward setup with minimal hassle.
      4. Affordability and Value
      Weize offers high-quality batteries at competitive prices, making them a great value for ATV and UTV owners. Despite their affordability, they don’t compromise on durability or performance, providing excellent quality without the premium price tag.
      5. Environmentally Responsible
      Weize prioritizes sustainable manufacturing practices, ensuring that their batteries meet environmental standards. This focus on eco-friendly production is a plus for ATV and UTV riders who want to reduce their impact on the environment while still enjoying high-quality equipment.
      Signs It’s Time to Change Your battery
      To maximize your ATV or UTV’s performance, be aware of the signs indicating that a battery replacement is necessary:
      Slow Engine Crank: If your engine takes longer than usual to start, it may be due to a weakening battery. Dim Lights: Dimming headlights are often a clear sign that your battery is losing its capacity to hold a charge. Frequent Recharging: If you find yourself recharging the battery frequently, it might be time for a new one. Age of the Battery: Most ATV and UTV batteries last between two to four years. Regular replacements can prevent unexpected breakdowns. Final Thoughts
      Changing your ATV or UTV battery when it shows signs of wear is essential for reliable performance and safety on every ride. Choosing a dependable brand like Weize ensures that you’re investing in long-lasting power, durability, and value. With a new Weize battery, your ATV or UTV will be ready for every adventure—whether you’re out on the trail or tackling heavy-duty tasks. So before you embark on your next journey, make sure your battery is up to the challenge, and consider Weize as a trusted choice for dependable power.

      I just acquired a 1994 Timberwolf 250 2wd. Drove fine at seller’s property. Got home, I started it, put it first gear, shifted to reverse, backed out of trailer, moved reverse shifter back forward, then nothing. Throttle revs but doesn’t go anywhere. The shift lever doesn’t really feel like it’s going through gears. I can roll it manually forever so I’m pretty sure it’s in neutral, but no neutral light. Then I decided to try reverse again, and, it goes into reverse. And drives in reverse. But as soon as I take it out of reverse, it rolls freely again. I can’t get it into any forward gear. The seller has owned it for 20 years (60 year old man). He didn’t have a manual so I’ve ordered a Clymer (I’m old school paper in my hand reader). Outward appearance is very good. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
