jwline, amen brother!

Thanks for the input Boys.  I am going to jump in there today and check the feed coming from the regulator to the battery(red wire in the wiring diagram I have attached under the pic above) with my meter and see if its D/C voltage.

I am trying to figure out what the resistors do in this circuit.  From what I have read in the manual the head light/tail light circuit is A/C.  I am adding LED headlights/taillight so I want to convert it to D/C.  My assumption is the resistors in the circuit bleed off some power since the incandescent bulbs are low wattage.  Any input would be greatly appreciated.  I am not putting a Baja LED light kit or light bar, just LED bulbs in the stock location and a small cube flood mounted on the handle bars.  I already have the LED bulbs installed in the stock locations but they flicker badly.

Cheers,

John

I live in Central Kentucky and we ride a lot at Land  Between the Lakes which is a National Park located near Cadiz KY. They normally do a wonderful job of keeping the park up but due to Covid they’ve had to run a skeleton crew so not much weed whacking has gotten done on the campsites this year. But any other time beside this Covid, they do a wonderful job of keeping the place up and the trails cleared. 

Brother, that place looks AMAZING!!! Where is it located?

Man seeing that pic of you SxS in the snow makes me home sick! Lol

Big fat money too lol

Here’s the screw

I found it out, it’s 2 1/2 turns from full in. Huge thanks to the person who uploaded the service manuals. 🥇  Btw you needed a special 1 sided wrench to adjust it so I modded it. Took the air screw out and cut a slit in it and now all I need is a flat head. 

It is a sweet place to ride and there so many trails to ride which are marked and vary from easy to insane! Lot of rock bouncers do the insane, past vertical climbs

Make sure the air cleaner is clean and installed while trying to start it due to the stock jetting

Yes, Covid cases are going up and parents are really losing their minds

Does anybody know what the standard adjustment is for the air screw on the carb? How many turns out from full in?

Cheers,

John

I’ve used Rotella T6 for the past 10 years with zero issues. 

14 years on my Z400 with proper maintenance. But I do need to change out my a arm bearings lol!

I have HJC helmet communicators the I use in the winter and I know people who use them on quads

I order all my parts from Rocky Mountain ATV/MC or Motosport.  As far as oil for my quad I use Rotella T6 and I have been using it for over 10 years and zero issues. I buy it in the gallon jugs at Wally World when they are on sale. 

When we were little my parents moved into a new neighborhood that was under construction. Some older kids had 3 wheelers and they took me for a ride and I was hooked! 

Turkey Bay OHV at Land Between the Lakes in KY. They have all kinds of terrain and it’s right on the lake so you can camp out and swim when your done! Absolutely beautiful place! 

Something like this

You can diy a baffle for your DG out of some tin and a couple of rivets 

A LONG time ago I got a ticket for riding on the side of the interstate on my snowmobile. If I wasn’t a Veteran the State Trooper said he was going to impound my sled and haul me to jail!  I couldn’t even imagine getting caught at a WMA!  They are going to make examples out of those poor dudes!

Here in KY we were set to go back to school full time but now it may start 100% online
