Hi guys, I have a Polaris Sportsman 500 1997 model, Going back last year the head blew so i replaced the head which i don't think has anything to do with the problem i am having now but now whenever i take it out for the first 10 minutes it goes good but after that once it gets warm it seems to lose power and cut out quite alot and sounds a bit louder than normal, When it starts cutting out you hit the throttle and it just doesn't react then all of a sudden it will and just keeps happening more often and conks out. Any ideas on what could be wrong with it? When the bike is cold it seems to run good. Appreciate any help.

      Has anyone had a suzuki 230 quad lock the engine up?

      Has anyone had a suzuki 230 quad lock the engine up?  Its a well maintained bike, it locked up when my son was riding it. Pulled the plug, it has connected with the piston. I'm thinking the con rod let go.  I don't have a service manual.  Does the engine need to come out to check further?

      My first trailer project.
      By Frank Angerano
      So I decided to pick up a small trailer if I could get one for the right price.  I found this one for a few hundred bucks on Craig’s list.  It is  a galvanized trailer which is exactly what I was looking for. The wood was shot and needed some minor repairs which I could care less about as long as the chassis was good. 
      I striped it down and put a new deck on. I had some vinyl realtree graphics that I had laying around so I added them to the fenders which I think worked out well. Very happy with this little guy.  
      I'm having the iron workers at my jobmake me up a few lightweight side rails that will have a 22 degree bend in them to accommodate the tires that slightly hang over the edge and will incorporate some tie down points as well.
