Yep still leaking but thats due to my oun fault. I haven't taking the bike out for a long ride yet because the fields are too wet and the farmers would shoot ya if they caught me out there. I'll check it out when i get back after my ATV trip at the end of the month.

I thought that too! I checked for play in the shaft and there was none to be had.

Not a good morning today.

My main pc puked from a virus with the Blue Screen Of Death (Stop 0x7B). Now I can't boot in any mode. Just keep getting that Damn BSOD! I tried changing BIOS settings still nothing and now I realized that I don't have a WIN XP recovery disc. AAHH CRRRAAAAAPPPP.

Top of the day to ya!!!!

I have the seal changed now but it still leaks a little. I wonder if the seal needs a break in period to conform to the shaft better.

Morning Birddog, Morning QC

So today I went out to the garage and I noticed a puddle of oil under the bike. What I found was a leak in the Rear Gearbox Input Shaft or (Snorkel Shaft).

I know I have to pull the drive shaft out but after that i'm at a loss.

If anyone has changed one of these seals before I would appreciate a little help.

A plug kit, thats a good idea Pony! I use the can of ether to inflate the tire.

70, get your bike fired up, i'm on my way over! Should be there in around 30-40 hours.

I'm fairly new to atving and I'm going on a trip at the end of the month with a few seasoned veteran. I don't want to be "that guy" you know, the guy that doesn't bring any tools and has to rely on everyone else to help fix his bike.

So my question to all you Quadcrazies is....

What to you keep in your storage and tool boxes?

What I have-

-Basic hand tools (screw drivers, plyers, hammer)

-Socket set

-Rain Gear

-Can of Ether

-Water proof lighter

-20 ft 6000lb tow rop (because I dont have a winch yet)

So what else do I need?

Morning Bio and Bimmer.

Morning Bio,

Damn groundhog was right. More of that white crap last night.

Wooo Hoooo page 69!

Morning guys!

Well I went out to the garage to to start the bike up to get it ready for a trip next month and the bike was dead. It just clicked like as if the battery was dead. I put the charger on it and gave the battery a good charge up and still click.

I'm now thinking I have a bad ground some where on the bike so I pull out the tester and I have power to the + side of the starter so the ground is good. So tonight it looks as if I'm pulling the starter. It figures, right when your ready to head out on a trip something has to happen!

Morning Guy's.

Since yesterday I got this itch and I know I won't be able to scratch it for one more month.

I booked my first real ATV trip up north. Were headed to the Ca-Am Spring Jam in Perry Sound Ontario. I guess it's Canada's largest ATV Jamboree. WOOO HOOOO can't wait!

All I can do for know to keep the itch at bay is to keep preping the bike to make sure it's ready for all the abuse that I'm going to put it through. If you do a search for (can am spring jam 2011) you'll see what I'm talking about.

Happy Sunday QC!

Morning guys!
