never mind! I just found it thanks to MWKE and 3wheeler world. it's a 1977.

Thank You very muuuuch!

can anyone tell me the year of a wheeler by the frame number? it is definitely pre-1980

I will send it to you if you can, I'd appreciate it! it's a frankenstein but aren't they all nowadays? hehe

came with 2 spare engines and a whole truckload of spare parts.....$400 could not pass it up!

will post pics with the rest of the fleet. this one is CLEEEEEEEN!

WOW that was an eye-opener! I'll never talk to another cop as long as I live.

well said, we have our share of those pin.heads here as well.

They just kicked us out of a riding area because of 'it's unique terrain, vegetation and other unique aspects.'

Yeah it's UNIQUE all right: It was a BOMBING RANGE during world war 2 ! Those are commonly called BOMB craters and there is no unique wildlife or flora to be found there...There are a few old cars out there with about a billion bulletholes each....

They're just being selfish and don't want to share.

They even tried to blame garbage out there on us. Now I've been riding 40 years and never ONCE have I carried KFC and cans of Pepsi on a dirt bike or a quad! That's not US, that's them. We routinely bring garbage home [someone else's] but the idiotsticks always try and blame us. I don't get the newspaper anymore- it just winds me up like a cheap watch....

NOW they wanna designate it a wilderness area and I bet they'll get it with so many pin.heads in DC.

excellent writing- that was hilarious!

I'd like them all really. Will pay the going rate for a CD of that!

I have an original star wars soundtrack LP. I don't know how to download it to digital or I may have used it hahaha. good idea though LOL:biggrin:

EBC is a good choice for most rides, tho there are some exceptions out there. Kodiaks will squeak, for instance, unless you use factory pads! Same with a LOT of the Hondas. It has something to do with the pad material. All you can do is try them and see. If mine starts to squeak I just pop em out and sand them with fine sandpaper, rotor too.

OK if you can't turn the axle by hand then you have found it. Get it fixed QUICK before you ruin a clutch or worse!!!

Sounds like at least one bearing committed suicide, so you wanna get that apart right away! You don't want busted parts floating around in there- if it locks up, it could pitch you into or OVER the bars = NOT GOOD. Hopefully your chain is OK but you may need a new one as well [stretched] if you don't replace it it will ruin your sprockets, then you gotta buy the whole shebang all over again. Get the Manual! you'll need it. sorry about your luck! If you don't have a grease zerk on the swingarm [they are typically underneath on those] I have seen instructions on how/where to install one- a GOOD idea . I'll try and find that post for you.

Tear that puppy apart before it gets any worse. OK? let us know!!! inquiring minds want to know!

go factory if you can of course, and a major brand name if they want too much gold....

you shouldn't have any problems- those are really easy. just bleed off the pressure and push the piston back in. There are many tools available to do this if needed or you can make your own. I use welding visegrips and they work fine. Any problems let us know! Don't forget to top off the master cylinder when you are done!!!! clean, new DOT3/4 fluid [whatever it says on the cover.]

WHAT QUAD CRAZY CLOTHING?

why do you think I look like an as* for drtygrlkristin's pic of my atv connection hat? I NEED a QUADCRAZY HAT to replace it obviously!

If there are more products available they seem to be deeply hidden in this site. perhaps Indiana Jones can help. I am having so much trouble with this I AM sorry.

Hats, shirts, cotton candy, shtuff like that? I can DO that! only if i can FIND it.

Interesting.

I too, soldier, will be voting in my 9th general election and as always it is a choice between the 'questionable' and the 'damned liar.' Actually this is better than most!

I vote for who supports the troops. We are there to do a job and 'we won't be back 'til it's over over there.' ref: WW1.

Soldiers SERVE, politicians do NOT. Slick Willy taught us that remember? Promised a tax cut for the middle class, it got him elected! by the next summer my taxes went UP. Politicians have no honor! a veteran can be humiliated and called on his word! nuf said?

no.

leave it alone, it is common to most quads, you just don't see it during the day.

Yamaha mechanic.

READING the owner's manual may help, this is NOT a lawnmower.

you asked 2 questions there:

Trails: Warrior/Raptor350

why: 6 speeds forward plus reverse. valuable where I live.

Drags: the 400ex is a little lighter than the warrior/rap350, but who drags a stock 400ex?

think about this before you sign anything.

I dont know... I think the Bot could throw a 'shoe....not sure about a toilet seat tho!

Must vote Buck Billy on this one.

GAWD I hope the rest of the world doesn't see this! too late I'll bet! LOL

to me a full faced helmet is a street helmet, not an MX helmet, am I wrong here?

Anyway I have both and usually wear the MX helmet since my video camera is mounted to it. plus the GMRS radio is wired in as well hehe.

I DO also own a 'dale earnhardt my hero died in one like this' helmet even tho the helmet did not contirbute to his demise.....I havent watched a NASCAR race since then, the fun just left.....another thread perhaps!

SORRY, off subject!

you are so polite!

but every guy knows he'll use the kitchen sink if he can! don't try and lie now! LOL:wink:

HOPEFULLY NOT with gasoline- I was obviously not clear enough. sorries but I have known many people to do this, not including myself of course. REALLY. hahhaa

bot knows why.

I amtrying to remove/replace some pics in my personal site. Adding is easy, but removing seems to be in a different place. To me this makes no sense and is very frustrating. can ya help me? don't send me to 'the learning center' OK? I don't like that name anymore. ONLY people who don't like you send you to "the learning center' it's like DETENTION, or shopping with your MOM. I dislike both.

Apologies, I guess I am too stupid to figure THAT out. who could? Is it too much to ask for a little tutelage? I hate doing things twice. :rolleyes:

Sorry, cant help you with that, perhaps someone on the Bombardier forum can. they're in Canada, shouldn't be difficult to find in a search..... sorry that's all I have. I will surely look around for you- it's out there somewhere.

buy a repair manual and do it yourself.

When I have a big project I usually go out and look it over closely, then devise a plan to do it. Take your time. Once it is done, then you will know the shortcuts and be able to help out other folks.....The first time I adjusted valves on a yamaha it took forever, Now it's a piece of cake. Your only other option is to take it to a shop. It's like going to the Doctor or the VET [that's a different rant] nowadays.....

I use SimpleGreen, it cuts the oil, doesn't stink or explode in my face. [OK I'm sensitive about that hehe.] I prefer K/n Spray oil- if you buy the kit with the cleaner in it, it's not a BAD cleaner, I just have better luck with simplegreen. If I were still married I would NEVER bring gasoline into the house....

I wouldn't want to have to change that one.....

I think Dirt Demon has it. readjust the cable so it has a little more slack in it.

I recommend the Dr.D reverse lever for 660rs, it's COOL and makes reversing and adjusting really easy.
