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.

Heres my story. Kinda long. I guess I was a late bloomer when it comes to quads. I had never ridden a quad in my life. Rode Dirt Bikes as a kid growing up. Back in Oct of '06 I found a Mustang on craigslist. Took it for a test drive one morning before work. Fast car. 351 Cleveland. I had planned on meeting the guy again after work. For some strange reason thats still to this day beyond me, I stopped in Hillsboro MotoSports on the way home from work. I had 6 Grand on me. There was a left over '05 sitting by the front door. It was on sale for $4999. It was $5499 OTD. I didnt even look at anything else. I knew nothing about quads accept I thought it really looked coool and I had the money in my pocket to buy it. I was sitting on it when the salesman walked up and asked... "Can I help you?" Without hestitation I pulled 60 Ben Franklins outta my front pocket and said "I want this Quad. Load it up in my truck." It was just about dark by the time I drove away from the shop. BTW, I didnt bother to ask my ol lady if I could buy it. LOL. Anyway, I took it by the house and showed her. She was kinda stunned but not mad. We drove over to a friend of mines house and unloaded it. I took it to the field across the street from his house. HOLY CHIT!!!!! I was surprised by the power. I had it for about 2 weeks and took it to Sand Lake. I was there a few hours and rolled it on a banked turn at the top of the bowl right before you get to the one-ways. When it rolled, I flew off and landed on my belly. The quad came bouncing and landed on my back. For a month I couldnt even walk. I was scared of it. I considered trading it for a 250EX. Went back to the shop. The salesman said..."Dude!!! You dont want a 250EX!!! Trust me. Just get used to it" I still wasnt convinced. I put it on craigslist for $4000. Calls were coming in. I had a guy that wanted to come look at it that evening. I decided to take it for one last ride at Browns Camp before I sold it. I was still afraid of it. After about 5 minutes I started feeling comfortable on it again. I decided right then, I loved my Honda 450 and would learn how to ride it instead of selling it. That was late Nov of '06. Work was slow for a Painter in Oregon. My new job everyday? Going to Browns Camp and ridding my Quad. I bought my Girl Friend an '02 Blaster. I rode my 450 for 4-6 hours almost every single day for 3 months. And yes, I know my way around Browns Camp pretty well. LOL. In March I bought her an '06 TRX250EX (Thank God I didnt trade my 450 for one of those) LOL Since then, I have become totally addicted to quads. I love them. Couldnt imagine not owning at least one quad. Luckily I have two. My "07 was $6500 OTD in July of '07. Bought it for my Girlfriend. Traded in her 250 EX. A month later we broke up. So, I wound up with two Honda 450's.

The fan gets switched on when the oil temperature gets high. The fuel pump gets turned on when you first turn the key but then switches off unless it's getting a pulse from the cdi. The pulse from the cdi is the same pulse that fires the ignition coil, so if you have spark, you have the required pulse to operate the fuel pump relay, you just need to ensure it's getting to the pump control relay. When wires have no continuity, or have high resistance, it's almost right at the end of the wire where it crimps into the metal terminal, it either corrodes or breaks the wires inside the insulation. Wires do sometimes break if they have been chafing for a long time on something and worn right through the electrical tape, insulation, and then the copper wire, but that's easy to spot by the frayed insulation.

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.

Started off with a free moped I was gifted. I got it running and decided I wanted more fun so I cut it in half and welded it to the front half of a go-kart body. Turning it into a reverse trike. The thing was pretty cool but it was super slow so I posted it on a marketplace. Ended up trading it for a non-running chinese atv and some predator engines. Fixed up the old 125cc Chinese ATV and the predators. Sold the predators and rode the small ATV for a while until I sold that too, from there on I snowballed through anything with an engine, buying, fixing and selling for profit. My last project was a free 2000 suzuki ltf500 4wd quad that I just sold. Now I'm working on a 1991 lt230e that I picked up for $200.

I have been an avid motorcyclist since I was big enough to get on one. Street bikes were my forte. My doctor told me that due to an illness I had last winter that my bike riding days are done. This pretty much crushed me. A friend that was doing some work around the house( He was being paid ) heard me telling my wife how bad I was feeling. My wife said how about a trike ,would that be alright. said yeah anything I don't have to balance. My friend at this point stated he had an aty that was sitting for years and he would trade me for one of my guitars( I have 14 both electric and acoustic ) He stated it need work but I love a challenge so at the age of 78 I have my first quad.. After a carb and battery it started right up. I live on a dirt road so Told the wife to hope on and away we went. After just a short ride I am hooked.

Kind of the same senario, the only problem i have is deciding which one to use. So i just decide which one i havent started in a while and use it. Unless i am in a hurry and then i use the one that has a good charged battery.

I first road My Sons Bayou 220 in Aug of 21. I tore all the tendends in my rotator cuff and ripped My bicep coming down from a jump. Had surgery to repair My shoulder in the spring off 22. I know own two quads and am looking for a third! Even pain and agony can't keep Me away!

I started when I was around 8 with a Honda big red 3 wheeler.. After a few years later I got a XR100, then a KX80, and finally a CR125. Then I had nothing until recently when I got my kids a Bayou 220 to ride around.

iam a huge ford fan and I liked that gt500 a lot.. I liked the broncos a lot especaily wen I saw on a tv show called trucks wen the guy rebuilt one and it was awesome... The 78 1/2 ton is up there to with my favorite trucks next to jeeps

yea gas is going up so much. pretty nice mustang if i had a choice it would be the 71'mach 1 or the 67' gt350

It was $5000. I think it was a '73. Its a V8. 351. Count the plug wires. If I would have bought the Stang I probably wouldnt have a drivers license anymore. LOL. My Dream car is a 68 Fastback. Shelby would be nice, but pretty much unaffordable for me. Not to mention gas is over $4 a gal now.
