I decided it was time to do the brakes on the Eiger, i got it a couple of years ago and worked out all the bugs got it running good and ignored the brakes. None on it ,front or rear. Decided to attack the front first no pressure on the master cylinder and screws were stripped out on the reservoir, took the banjo bolt loose and pure water ran out, glad i didnt wast time on drilling the screws out, pads were shot also. Pulled a couple out of my box o parts. One was for right hand so wouldnt work, the other looked fine until i opened the reservoir and full of white powder. Cleaned it out anyway and tried it, only would build up a minimal amount of pressure. So no go on that one. So ordered new master cylinder and pads, so now i have to hurry up and wait. On to the back they are drum brakes so i knew this would be fun, 20 year old machines that have been mudded and abused for that length of time nothing comes off easily. The engage shaft was froze solid from corrosion. Getting that out is easy but you have to get to it first. The center nut was supposed to be 30mm but it wasnt it was 27 the only size not in my large set, go figure, The previous owner decided it was a good idea to JB Weld the cover on making it near impossible to get off, had to chiesel it off. The mounting plate was a different story, nut was tight tight tight took my biggest impact two or 3 times hammering on it to get it loose after soaking all night in PB Blaster. Got it moving along the splined shaft easily but wouldnt come off, when it got to end of its run it would just stop, ended up using 2 24 inch pry bars one on each side, past the point of being gentle and it finally came off. Got to the drum and it came off easily a little suprised at that, it was full of mud and rust, i knew it was going to be bad because there was a snorkle on it when i got it, never buy one with a snorkle, they are highly abused to the machines limit, but i got it cheap . Finally got in there and no shoes left and a complete mess. Lots of mess to clean up. Got it looking a little better. Lots of cleanup later! Waiting for new parts.

Yes, Exit 48 (WVa) off I-77 north bound to US 19 (Toll Rd) toward Beckly. South bound on I - 79 (WVa) (from Pittsburg) exit 57 onto US 19.

OK got new caliper ordered. But I took old one apart. You can see the what-cha-ma-call-it that fits inside the thing -a bob is rusted! That is why it would not retract the brake caliper. I yse thisSS rust remover a lot on ferrous metal.

She was keeping you focused...LOL...She was thinking that her girlfriend's husband doesn't even know how to change a light bulb!

Its made by Plasticote, not a brand i generally buy, but it is one of the best i have used for painting metal with pitting and imperfections, does a good job of hiding those, of course i really didnt need it for this, i used it because once sprayed on its there very hard to get off maybe keep the rust down to a minimum. Plus i didnt have to run to the store to get something, that kind of throughs a pebble in your pond, and it takes a minute to get back to where you are. Wife came out while i was working on this, 3 quads sitting around and 2 riding lawnmowers, she said you need therapy, my response was yes maybe, but will that help me get these parts cleaned up, i dont think so.

Here is better pic of rafts on our swim break. Its all day on the River. Everybody has to paddle hard to keep the raft moving tough the water fall rapids (11 foot vertical drop) or the rat will be pulled under by the "hydraulics" of the violent water. The guide sits on a wood platform steering the raft. We took several swim breaks. Cannot wait until this fall and go back ATV ing along the New River W Va. West Virginia is a great place to ATV or SXS.

Lots of trails for ATV and SxS. They New River is a wild ride. The first set of rapids below the raft was three RR coal gondola cars submerged after a derailment . I lost my sun glasses in the first rapids. And keeping our tops on with the water crushing down across us was a constant challenge for us three girls in the raft. The guys were no help. Great trip...I recommend it.

West Virginia is a great place to ride. They have a lot of state sponsored riding areas. Check out the New River area.. Take the Raft trip if you are brave.

Some cheap ones on Amazon I've had a good experience with them on all of my machines. Just seach for 12v Yamaha or ATV bulbs they should come up. Like $10 or so. Just make sure your ATV light switch is pulling from the battery and not the stator directly.

For my Polaris Sportsman 570, I used BEAMTECH 880 LED bulbs, and they have worked very well for me for 4 years now. They are MUCH brighter than the factory headlight bulbs.

I started with an ATC 90 long ago.

I have been on something with a motor since I could walk and hang on to my dad. Been on dirt bikes, quads, 3 wheelers, snow mobiles, motorcycles, pretty much everything. But, I have just always gravitated to quads, and what I am starting my kids on.
