i use valvaline 10w-40 like@Ajmboy. i like it and it seems to hold up well. i changed it out in my sportsman 500 and idk how but just changing the oil gave me an extra 700rpm on the top speed i think it was. went from topping at 6500rpm to 7200rpm lol as for seat covers thanks @Ajmboy also for the tips. so far the seats on my newer atvs have been in good condition and the older ones wernt worth more than a duct tape fix lol but i just got a rubicon thats in dire need of a new seat cover and id rather not make it look like a roll off dumpster with a duct tape seat

Need info please... 1998 Suzuki 500 Quadrunner 4x4
JacobSlabach replied to vonda flynn's topic in Suzuki ATV Forum
oh that could be a problem- i would check over all the parts in your rearend and be sure nothing is tampered with that could have caused the atv to blow itself agian. as for the clip i order most of my parts off amazon and most of the time if im looking for a specific part and have the part number i will simply search the make and model of the atv followed by the part number and 90% of the time can easily find the exact part for my atv regardless of make or model. the only times i have trouble finding parts is on these little knock-off chinese atvs that they sell nowdays but yours is a well-known make and model- you should have no trouble finding what you need on amazon or ebay or the sight you have used.- 10 replies

Polaris 425 Magnum Starting Issues
JacobSlabach replied to Steve Stahlschmidt's topic in Polaris ATV Forum
check compression, timing and valve lash- those can contribute to your symptoms. i agree with@MarkinAR , cant be electric related or it would not fire period. had you tried cleaning your old carb before you bought a new one? the choke is another thing id check- if its stuck open, itll flood the motor enough to not run -

my Sons used Chinese quad. few things
JacobSlabach replied to Rock Ledge Homestead's topic in Other ATV Brands Forum
these are fun little quads- ive owned two chinese atvs and 4 other small atvs. awesome to rip around on and even it you do turn it over it wont kill you lol. id check the oil and if you mesure the opening on your carb, you can usually find one of amazon that has a matching opening size. if you got water in your carb, it could have possibly worked down into the motor and then into the oil. -
Coronavirus (COVID-19) and your ATV Life
JacobSlabach replied to Ajmboy's topic in General Talk - Anything Goes!
thought id chime in here not sure if you knew that bombardier became can-am and can-am still uses rotax motors in their atvs and i assume jet skis and snowmobiles. i knew the first part (bombardier became can-am kinda like arctic cat became textron when it was bought by polaris) but i didnt know about rotax until i bought a sea-do jet ski and saw the "powered by rotax" label and then was looking at a newer (2017 or so) can-am outlander and saw the same label on the side panel below the seat. -
570 aftermarket boot replacement (it's been a while)

570 aftermarket boot replacement (it's been a while)
JacobSlabach replied to JacobSlabach's topic in General ATV Discussion
Great advice and that’s actually exactly what I did. Found out the reason the boot popped was because the boots were too wide and rubbed on the hub. Just rubbed until they got a hairline crack all around and started to leak. (The other lower boot started leaking too for the same reason) -
Craigslist ATV Scams - Beware!
JacobSlabach replied to Ajmboy's topic in For Sale or Wanted? Post it here.
I’ve lost $3500 to a scam when I was 13. Same deal as@Ajmboy came across. So yes, if it’s too good to be true, than it isn’t. Never ever send any money for any reason thru money gram or Walmart transfer or by taking pictures of eBay gift card and sending them to anyone. Always buy in person. No handshake, no deal is my rule. -
i have yet to wreck an atv.. ive come up on two wheels a number of times and ended up in the ditch in AL when spinning some donuts on the old sportsman 500 but never turned one over or hit something. i have almost flipped my lifted 570 hitting a ditch in a felid going about 40mph- had a trailer on it which kept the back end down. i did flip riding mower going up a hill and just recently broke my collarbone jumping a road scooter with a flat front tire. as for fire, ive done a lotta stupid stuff with fire but havnt caught anything i didnt want to on fire. ive drove an atv through a fire but thats about it. funny thing is my parents said id wreck an atv first, but the only times ive got hurt was on homemade things (was building the mower into a racing mower and had broke the seat off the scooter so i have to stand up on the pegs while riding it)

What to put into an ATV trail
JacobSlabach replied to Micah Gafford's topic in General ATV Discussion
we have a 80 acre farm that hasnt been touched in 20+ years that weve been clearing parts of so im in the same boat. broke my collarbone so i cant do much for a while but weve already cut a trail around the perimeter of the land (60% is woods). ive found that in most cases, with a peice of land 20 acres or more, you can find most of what youre looking for already there, just needing cleared. in the perimeter trail alone, theres stright stretches, of camber turns, a mud section/creek crossing, and i hill climb. all you gotta do is clear the way to whatever catches your eye. depending on the lay of your creek, it could be a real blast if you turned it into a trial. its super fun to go bashing up and down a creek on an atv throwing water and mud everywhere. the creek on the farm is really twisted up but im still hoping to make an entrance and ride up and down it. also is good to have a open space for those (like me) who have a need for speed and like to just let that throttle open for a bit -

Hello from the Hoosier National Forest
JacobSlabach replied to Micah Gafford's topic in New Members Area!
is it a 4 or 2 stroke? -
@Frank Angerano had a phoenix 200 i believe. he may be more help than me. yea i always start simple. are you getting spark now? it may be that you got a defective part if you bought aftermarket cheap replacements.

ive steered clear on kawasaki since my first experience. they have a reputation of blowing themselves up but thats just my 2 cents. -
Just getting into the ATV discussion
JacobSlabach replied to Mavericksnba's topic in General ATV Discussion
are you looking for new or used atvs? i prefer polaris but of the three you mentioned, i like the kodiak 700. its the same as the grizzly but more compact and better for the trails ond more comfortable to ride. the seat and handlebars are lower than the griz so its easier to mount and handle as your rounding tight bands on the trail. the kicker is although the seat and handlebars are lower, you still get the same ground clearance and raw torque that the griz carries. the reason the grizzlies still sell is cause they were the origanal beats with the grizzly 660 back in the day so everyone has heard about them. id go with the kodiak -

ATV 4K Action Cameras [Off Branded]
JacobSlabach replied to Ajmboy's topic in General Talk - Anything Goes!
oh im sorry- took a closer look and it was actually the last one (AKASO EK7000 4K wifi...) and actually it takes good footage- takes the shaking well and doesnt transfer into the video like i thought it would. i took that vid i think i posted here from my ride in AL with it -
