It's about time I did something right


Recommended Posts

Same here for quads but not bikes. I don't understand what their thinking is. The age of a child should not determine what size quad they can ride. Just like my daugher I'm not going to say a 90cc is not enough power for her but the size of the quad is going to be to small for her. She's tall for her age and to me she already looks to big for the quad. With her height she fits on a polaris phoenix 200 we looked at a few weeks ago. I think the gov. or who ever needs to go back and rethink this over. We would be better off to be able to adjust the throttle as were able too now but have something too keep a kid from being able to change the setting. A quad that is to small for a kids size is dangerous to me. I could not see a 14 or 15 year old on a 90cc size quad. When I was 11 I was ridng a Yamaha 175 2 stroke my uncle would ride over to our house. He would let me go ride on the trails While he visited my mom & dad I had a SL70 of my own at the time. I could touch the ground just fine on the Yamaha but the power scared me at first when the front end come off the ground very easy but 15 to 20 mins. I got used to the power & the difference of a 2 stroke I was hooked. So in my long drawn out post here is to say size matters and I went by the rules! If I had it to do over I would have bought my daughter a bigger quad 1 she could ride for at least 4 to 5 years from now. After my 175 addiction My dad bought me a cr 125.

      Hi, I am having issues with my TRX350D fuel pump.  It suddenly stopped running so I have replaced all the fuses and cleaned all the terminals.  I have fitted a new pump, fuel cut-off relay and rectifier.  Still nothing!!  The pump runs when attached to a battery.  The engine will start on the choke and the filter fills with fuel but it will  not rev and dies when the choke is closed. I have power to the relay but nothing at the pump black/white wire when cranking the engine.  Any ideas where to go from here would be very much appreciated!!

      Hi Guys!

      New member and could really use your advice. I would have to believe this has been an issue for others but a search here came up with nothing......? (Probably me not doing search correctly)
       
      I have an 87 Big Bear 350 YFM350FWT
      The OEM Mikuni BTM carb is shot and would rather replace than rebuild.
      It is no longer made and I have had good luck with NICHE carbs so I ordered a #K-CRB-0006 This was what they said was replacement when ordered. This Carb only uses 1 Throttle cable. The Slide is linked so it uses one. (OEM had 2nd cable coming through top to move slide)
       
      Problem is when I ordered a replacement Cable from NICHE (#C-CBL-0061) the Cable wire is a little short, not allowing Throttle to return all the way down to Idle position. I called NICHE and they are at a loss. Haven't gotten back to me after 2+ weeks.
       
      What would you recommend other than a carb rebuild?
      Can I just use 1 of the OEM cables (It is the right length) and snip/disconnect the other that went to top of Carb for Slide?
      Or ??
       
      Thanks in advance for any advice you have!!

      Bucking started about a month ago and works ok after 1/2 hour warmup.  Today while working on it i discovered that if i put the ignition switch in LIGHT position it runs fine right from the start.
      I'm stumped!  Any idea why this could be?

      This is something I'm extremely curious about. Has anyone ever attempted to buy a quad (or any other vehicle) from an impound lot? I've always wondered if this could be a bargain, or a waste of time. Google searches do turn up some helpful results. Looks like the state of NJ holds auctions online which I'd be a bit hesitant about.
       
      My online searches haven't really turned up any results of anyone buying an ATV this way. I'd be really curious if anyone tried this, or knows someone who has. I've actually found a couple pages with online auctions for my state, but none had ATVs.
