I discovered the fine line between brave and stupid.

Really tough spot I got it in and over it went. It threw me down the mountain and thankfully a tree stopped it before too much speed built up.

So so so glad I'm alive.

Lesson learned!!!!!

I always seen to cross that line mostly on the stupid side !!:laugh:Thats why I have a broken wrist !:laugh: Glad your OK !! Dont let it stop you from gettin back on the quad and riding :yes:

Glad you are OK. I always look at an obstacle and tell myself "I think I can". After I try it and fail I look at it again and say "I thought I could". At this point I shake my head and say "I think if I would have done this instead of......." and the whole process starts over.

how high up were you ?

The hill is about 200 yards.

I was at the half way point. Trying to cut across it sideways. Luckily the quad hit a tree within 25 feet. I stopped shortly after. It's one of those hills that gets progressively steeper towards the bottom. It's thick with brush so it's hard to gauge the incline in parts and I def guessed wrong.

So my sister is letting me borrow there rancher that has a winch to go pull it out of the hole.

Any tips on what to do and NOT to do

I planned on anchoring the winch quad to a tree from its hitch ball and maybe walking along side my quad up the hill.

I'm gonna have to have a long extension rope for sure and take it in steps.

It is retrieved. 2 hours of careful winching. Very steep and easy going.

After all the rolling and tree slamming

NOTHING wrong with it. 25 foot winch cable and 2 100 foot ropes.

I cleaned out the air cleaner and the housing and I'm off and riding.

Feels so so good to have it back in the garage.

Well I am glad to see you are OK. The thing is once you wreck you have to get right back on and ride. The same things happened to me when I rolled my quad, you second guess everything. You just need to start riding again and get your confidence back.

Leave the quad that is winching running and maybe you can borrow a snatch block if it is a steep incline to take some of the pressure off of the cable. Also get some type of wheel chock to put under your quads tires when you go to re rig the cable for the next pull. Do it in stages and give the winch a break in between so you don't overheat the winch.

      2022 Hisun Sector 550 Gas gauge stopped working
      By Clydaho
      2022 Sector 550, 414 miles on it and the gas gauge reads empty.  I topped off the gas and it didn't change.
      There is no fuse that I could find.  No access at the gauge cluster.
      Wiring on the top of the tank looks good, properly connected.
      Could the sending unit in the tank be stuck or broken?
      Has anybody removed the tank lid?  Any tricks?  
      Any other ideas?
      Thanks for any help,
      Clyde

      2002 Quadrunner 250- Knackered cam and journal/"bearings", difference between 2001-2002 part and 2000 and earlier
      By kiriyaaoi
      Hello everyone, I just picked up an 02 LT-F250F the other day and have been in the process of tearing it down to fix some stuff- one of which was the cylinder base gasket leaking like a sieve. Well, I know why that is now, and I also discovered that someone had been in there before. I didn't take pictures, but it looks like it was probably run low on oil at some point, the cam journals and the "bearings" (for lack of a better term) in the head and the valve cover are totally wiped out, very deep grooves.  From what I know it's very difficult to repair aluminum in this way, so I'm trying to figure out where to go next.
       
      1. Have someone grind down the head and valve cover and fit actual bearings in since the aluminum is screwed, and have the cam ground down to match.  I have no idea what this would cost.
      2. Buy a replacement head+cam+valve cover.
       
      #1 I was hoping someone might have some advice on, but #2 seems like it'll (probably) be the more cost effective option.  However I'm running into some difficulty, it seems like the 2001 and 2002 models specifically use a different head part number,  11100-19B10, instead of  11100-19B01 like for all earlier models.  What exactly is the difference between them? There are obviously far more of the earlier heads because it ran for over 10 years.  Are they actually interchangeable? I've also noticed there are heads from the LT250EF that has 4 valve heads but also otherwise look identical.  Would those work as well possibly?  I'd like to not have to drop $500 on machine work or new heads on a $1300 quad that I'm already putting a bunch of new parts on.  Oh, and it has a new piston and the cylinder itself looks pretty good too, as I said someone was in here before me.
       
      Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I'll post pics of the carnage tomorrow.

      2005 500 Scrambler acting up above idle speed need help
      By p5200
      I added more fresh gas it sat one day now, it's acting up again. Before cleaning out carburetor it wouldn't idle good and had gas leaks from carburetor. Now it idles pretty good but, if I increase throttle speed at a certain amount it starts missing bad. I'm going to try and post a short video. Just about ready to give up on this thing.😒  you can see reflection perking in video.

      2004 Honda trx450es - how much it worth?
      By prdicon
      South Florida.

      How much it worth?

      Pros: looking decent.

      Cons
      No brakes.
      Front wheel bearings are shot.
      Idles, but sometimes will shot off. Most likely when cold.
      Gas smell and little bit steam in the air filter box when I started it.
      Display screen won't work.
      Tires are dry with cracks.


      Not sure if has title, I will check and update.

      How much do you think it worth?
