Hi, I thought I should kinda introduce myself. I have been a dirt biker since I was 12. I always thought atv's were cool. I rented atv's a couple of times in Nevada, where I rode the Logandale trails. It was a lot of fun.

I really enjoy this forum and look forward to more posts, pictures, and videos.

Here are some recent photos, 5/4/2013, The bike is my Honda XR 500.

maybe all it needs is a good carb clean spray or some fuel additive/cleaner in the tank ...

Thanks OB, I'm going to try this soon....

Well this morning I sprayed carb cleaner, outside first, then inside, finally inside with motor running. It ran worse than ever! I figured it just lodged the dirt further into the carb so I turned carb upside down and it worked! Here are some photos of my ride.

THANKS OXY BLACK!!

Note... the next ride I took I experienced the same problem. I had to disassemble the carb to clean it better.

      Do You Use GPS For ATV Trails?
      By Admin
      Does anyone use GPS, whether on a device or app to record their ATV trail rides? I have been thinking about a section where our members can upload let's say a .gpx file and share their rides on a google map for others to see where there are riding areas. Not sure if this is something of interest or how much it would be used, so just trying to get an idea.
      Importing routes from files like xml, lmx, tour, freshroute, gpx, kmz, kml

      Hi Guys, I'm new to this forum.
      I have been riding quads for the last 20 years, however my quads are extremely old and outdated, all three are about 20 years old LOL.
      I have been looking at upgrading, but need your input.
      I've narrowed it down to the Polaris Sportsman XP 1000 S or the Honda FourTrax Foreman 4x4 EPS
      What do you guys think?

      I'm new to town, Let me introduce myself!
      By DexKing
      Hi my name is Dex, and i have an addic..oh wrong group.
      I only started actually riding atvs in late 2019 with a friend from high school. After getting out and enjoying a night of riding and camping, i just found that i REALLY enjoy being out in the woods on a 4wheeler day or night. my main rig is a 2020 Can Am Outlander 570 and recently picked up a 2004 Honda Recon 250, and a Kawasaki Prairie 360. Both the honda and the Kawasaki are projects that started in pretty rough condition and are slowly becoming running, riding machines. As i research and rebuild, i am learning new skills along the way and enjoying every minute of it. Thanks for having me in the community, i hope to learn a bit more every day from each of you out there, while also sharing some experiences with you all as well!

      Southeast Georgia trails
      By Ejwill
      I live about an hour west of Savannah and was wondering if anyone knew of places to ride in this area. Only place I know of is in North Georgia, about 4.5-5 hours from my house. Would like to find something closer.

      New to the Forum- working a 2003 Polaris Sportsman 700 Twin
      By TravisCr
      I bought this from a buddy to plow snow up in the North Eastern Washington- its been getting oil in the water and I've been changing the oil often and adding collant as necessary-
      I've taken the stator cover off and I'm looking at the Oil Seal and water pump seal and they look good- Although I've ordered a factory oil Seal I'm looking at putting it in this afternoon-
      I don't have the factory service manual- am I suppose to Add RTV to the Stator cover Gasket? I've seen some folks suggest grease other suggest RTV?

      Any suggestions here- I'm trying to reassemble it tonight- I looked at downloading the manual but need to get up to 10 posts firsts it looks like-

      I appreciate any suggestions- normally I'm a jeep and honda dirt bike guy- but  I got a good deal on the quad and a plow so I went for it
      Its got a bit over 3K and runs pretty good- but I've had her tore apart for 3 weeks to figure out the oil in the coolant issue.
