Nice machine! Other than the crack in the plastic, it looks brand new.

14 years in the future, the QuadOn apps solves all theses problems....

I've got a couple of pockmarks in the seat of my 92 Bayou. I'm wondering if it's necessary to tape them to keep the damage from spreading?

... End result was none of my DIY methods worked, and I had to pay a shop to do it. The tech said that even their equipment struggles with ATV tires, so I guess I don't feel too bad about being defeated...

I put a 2x6 about 3 feet long on the bead with one end on the ground and drive my truck up the board like a ramp.  Usually pops the bead right off.

I don't have a vehicle with enough ground clearance unfortunately...

It was a natural progression from bicycle, to 49cc Honda moped, and finally a 1983 Honda 200x 3 wheeler.

Also, probably influenced by growing up in a rural environment before widespread Internet availability (aka, dial-up), as well as my high school friends being into ATVs.

Anyone ever try this method for removing a tire from the rim? I tried the bottle jack method, but the jack kept slipping down the tire.

This option seems to focus the pressure right at the bead, but I'm wondering if there are other options that you've had success with.

I'm new to the site as well. Working on fixing up 1992 Bayou 300. I'm struggling to break the beads on the front tires to add tubes (they are close to end of life). Also need to find an o ring for the oil cap (it's either missing or disintegrated).
