My 1st Dirt Ride of 2012


Recommended Posts

Took my tracks off a week ago and got the bike ready for some serious dirt rid’in this year ... I hope. :hurrayc:

I changed the front & rear diff fluids, the gear box fluid, engine oil, filter, put on a new belt (try’in a Gates G-Force this time), new plugs, greased the Bad Boy, and then put all the skid plates back on ... and the tires & wheels of course .... :smilielol5c:

Decided to drive about 100 miles South of where I live to the Old Pony Express Route in the West Desert by a small township named Vernon. Went out there because I figured there would be less or no snow compared to some other desert places I ride sometimes this time of year. Well, there was plenty of snow to play in & it kept me out of a couple places .... but there is so much area out there a guy could ride for days. :partyc:

On the way back to the truck I opened her up a little ... at 65mph I decided that was fast enough. However, I could tell she still had more .... so maybe next time ... :woot:

Saw lots of deer, but only got one to hold still long enough to take a photo. I also saw a few Antelope & the one in the video kept running in the same direction I was riding, so when I got my chance I snapped a photo of him too. :coolgleamAc:

Had a great day out there and I think I’ll head out there again next week. Did about 46 miles, which put me 2.2 miles short of 1700 total miles on the Canned Ham in less than one years time. I have eight more days before I have that one year on my new bike, so by the end of the next ride, I’ll have about 1750 ... if I push it !! :icon_bsc:

Hope you enjoy the video .... :cheers2c:

      Sorry I suck at these forums so if you see this submitted under update status, my bad. Anyhow this is a new shock for a 96 Yamaha Kodiak 400 4x4 it fits my 96 Yamaha Timberwolf 250 4x4 perfectly. Little narrower are the bottom than the original but everything else is perfect. I extended it to almost a half in from full extension because I’m pushing 350 pounds.  It rides and hold me well. So if any of y'allRace driven shock. have been looking for one and didn’t want to do the research here it is.

      Hi guys. I have a problem where the quad will start and run well for about 5 minutes and then it dies. On inspection the airbox has oil in it (quite a lot). The oil is pumping through the cylinder head breather hose. This problem first happened suddenly. I have since done the top end including, piston, gaskets, rings and valves. I have also done the carb (not that I thought that this was the problem). The compression seems normal. The only thing that I can think of, is that I did not grind the valves well enough. Anyone experienced this? If so, how did you fix it? Any other thoughts?

      1996 4x4 Timberwolf rearend width. Can someone with some knowledge of these machines answer this question for me please. Are all 4x4 timberwolves this narrow in the rearend? These tires are so close the right one actually rubs the muffler.  Thinking about seeing if there are any spacers out there for it. I need at least an inch more clearance.

      Hi everyone. 
      Let me explain the thread title. 
      My husband and I are very active in the nudist community, and we have stayed at many and most of the mainstream nudist and clothing optional campgrounds in the USA. We are now approaching our retirement and would like to start a podcast to share those off the road / backwoods / little known camping areas where nudity is allowed. We have purchased a 5th wheel camping trailer with a rear garage for the ATV and now need some good reports on the one to buy. 
      We are most interested in a side by side unit but would love to get your thoughts. 
      Feel free to stop by and say Hi and ask anything you would like to better understand what we are looking for in an offroad unit. 
      Thanks for reading and hope to hear from you.
