and here is an example, i hope you don't mind mario.

thanks mario!!

i was thinking of pulling a fast one,,, take the wheels off my grizz and putting them on the big bear and givin'er a shine and re enter next month

here's a couple to start with... i don't think maier sells direct, but if you know someone in a body shop or bike shop, they can get it for you. much cheaper than OEM.

1989 Suzuki LT250SK Parts, 1989 Suzuki LT250SK OEM Parts - BikeBandit.com

The manual I had didn't have very good pictures which I found online for free, but don't know from where.

will this help?

from what i have seen online, it might fit, but it might also have a different gear ratio. looking at say a 1995 big bear and 1995 timberwolf, the rear ends are different yamaha OEM#'s, they look the same, but may turn out to be different. what year or years do you have to work with?

ah c'mon now sonny

i just posted the 'science lesson' for rappys benefit. i wasn't sure if he knew axles or differentials were crowned in order to take a load. it's all good, no need to get anyones knickers in a bunch.

good mooning everyone... nice buckbilly

the axles on your atv are crowned, which means they are arched upward in the middle, when stressed with weight, the axle will become straight or even sag, but will return to the crown position. building a home from dimensional lumber, your floor joists are set in place 'crown up', as to take the weight and not dip or sag with furnishings and settlement.

Are you familiar with the electron sea analogy in metal? In most metals the outermost electrons, or valence electrons, are relatively free from their atom's nucleus. This is known as delocalization. (This is also why most metals are so conductive, the electrons are very free and able to transfer the energy readily from one electron to the next.) But it also allows the metal to bend because the electrons buffer the metal atoms from experiencing repulsive forces from the other atoms as they slide past and causing the material to shatter.

quadnut20 said "any 2nd grader could install it !"

it was a joke to you

and any 2nd grader could install it !

:poke:

I think the R shock is 1/2" longer than the ex But as he put it the ex shock was like riding a broom stick the R shock is a huge improvement and any 2nd grader could install it !

you shouldn't tease :smilielol5c:

geez i crack myself up sometimes :smilielol5c:

this is me on my flat track race quad in the snow a couple winters ago...

nice pic 007 jr

well, i guess im just getting a t shirt and maybe some rim polish LOL,,, thought maybe a trip to vegas would be in there too,,, guessed wrong

i think you can do it yourself fairly easily. i looked at the manual and it doesn't look that bad, and you can buy just the strut to replace it. if you want the service repair manual, follow this link and download it for yourself

https://www.yousendit.com [email protected] is the username, and romy1961 is the password. when the page opens after the user and pass are in, look at the top of the page and click folders. just click on your polaris pdf and download it. bike bandit has the struts for 110 $ each and i'm sure alot of other shops will be able to order them for you.

well guess what? i won it for december :woot:

got this in my email today!

wow... i cannot believe this thread. a new member looking for help with his quad and all hell breaks loose with another member. my god, the drama.... tsk tsk

not a good way to start the new year

wow! is that the real price (2900) and not 9200? thats a steal IMO....

now you can celebrate riding into the new year!!! good job guys!!! :partyc:

sounds like dirty carb. if your lucky, you can try a can of spray carb cleaner thru it while its running, if that helps, there is a good brand of gas tank additive for cleaning (forgot the name of it). if worst case scenerio, if you have to pull the carb, use a non-chlor brake cleaner. you'll have better results than a carb clean.... IMO

thanx for the info swampcat07. Headed to the hardware store now to get a longer bolt.
