if you have a non drilled rotor on the rear the mudd and debrees will not ware the pads as fast cause its not getting inbetween the rotor and pads as much as with a drilled rotor ....its a proven fact... i have raced and ridden with several racers and have a few friends that are mechanics for racers and on wet muddy tracks and sandy tracks they will chainge the rear rotors to solid non drilled so the pads will last longer durring that race ... drilled rotors dissapate heat better than non drilled ... but will cause brake pads to ware much faster because the holes in them will pick up debries and hold them in the holes and wear the pads much faster ... take this from a 40 year old man who has a small repair shop and has raced and has alot more experience than kids on this site ...

What spark plugs are in your toys ?
CK1999_400ex replied to CK1999_400ex's topic in General ATV Discussion
dealers do crazy things ... they will sell there name brand plugs at a cheaper rate just to sell the name and raise the price on the others to make up the difference (they cost the dealer the same ) ... i was talking to the local dealers son who runs the store/shop and he told me all kinds of crazy stuff they do just to make a buck... -
if you have the rotors with holes drilled in them its going to wear out pads alot faster in the sand and mudd ...i chainged my rotors over to solid non drilled and brake pads lasted 3 to 4 times as long ... and i was riding about the same conditions as you ...

do you know who makes the honda plugs ? ill have to call my buddy at the local honda dealer and see if they know ... -
here is what i usually do on a new atv that i buy .. i get on ebay and find a used air box lid ... then when i get it i drill 3/4 inch holes in it and get some little filter plugs at menards or another home care center ... you can just leave the holes open also ... that way you still have the original equipment lid and an extra that has the mod ...

i usually get my brake pads on ebay ... you can get a full set (front and rear) on there for what it costs for just 1 pair at the dealer or some online atv parts places ... and i have not had any problems with items i buy from ebay ...

2005 Polaris Scrambler 500 Shift Grinding
CK1999_400ex replied to dom08's topic in General ATV Discussion
the biggest issue with the polaris grinding is that the machine is usually idleing to hi and the primary clutch is grabbing the belt and turning the trans main shaft ... you can idle it down some and then try ..and they have a spring kit that allows it to rev more b4 the clutch will grab and is great for some riding conditions and styles .. -
i think its money well spent ... a running machine is worth more than a dead 1 ... and i have a completly restored 1985 honda 110 that i did several years ago ... it looks better than when it was new ...
-
the belts cause friction on the clutches in the cvt system and then they need vents to help keep the clutch cooler ... it also allows ait to come in and actually helps cool the lower end ov the motor/block ... some atv's even have recessed areas in the lower parts of the motors that help kool the motor when the air flows through the vent system for the clutch ..
-
that hits most of the areas to check .. good thred ...
-
they fit different bikes better than others ... but ... you can have both with it ... but yours looks better than any i have seen yet ...
