What does your quad weigh ?
oxidized_black replied to CK1999_400ex's topic in General ATV Discussion

What does your quad weigh ?
oxidized_black replied to CK1999_400ex's topic in General ATV Discussion
my quad stock is 600lbs. i have over size tires, skid plates and bumpers to add more ... i know its one heavy mf if stuck in mud, thank god for diff lock and thank warn for winches! geez, the big bear 350 i have is 567lbs. dry. thought it would be much lighter than the grizzly... -

Need help finding the right quad for me!
oxidized_black replied to Passion4thrashin's topic in General ATV Discussion
the 550 is a nice choice, the one i saw was real nice, burgandy and subtle black (old school) flames. check out kijiji for calgary. there are some beauty deals there, and or edmonton. they seem to be in much better shape and less cost than in the fort mac area. and welcome to qc the power steering factor isn't a big deal unless you put a bigger and more aggressive tire on the quad. and maybe make sure you don't get something in 4 wheel all the time, 2 to 4 select is really nice. just saying cause i have a 660 and 350. both are about the same armstrong steering... http://calgary.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-ATVs-snowmobiles-ATVs-2003-HONDA-FOREMAN-ES-W0QQAdIdZ335586377 http://calgary.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-ATVs-snowmobiles-ATVs-2000-Yamaha-Grizzly-600-W0QQAdIdZ334087603 http://calgary.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-ATVs-snowmobiles-ATVs-2007-Honda-TRX500FM-FANTASTIC-UNIT-W0QQAdIdZ333838517 http://calgary.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-ATVs-snowmobiles-ATVs-Kawasaki-Brute-Force-750-W0QQAdIdZ333191774 http://calgary.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-ATVs-snowmobiles-ATVs-Polaris-Sportsman-700-W0QQAdIdZ316630216 http://calgary.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-ATVs-snowmobiles-ATVs-2007-Canam-Outlander-650-XT-W0QQAdIdZ331819317 http://calgary.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-ATVs-snowmobiles-ATVs-2007-Kawasaki-Brute-Force-650-W0QQAdIdZ331556734 http://calgary.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-ATVs-snowmobiles-ATVs-2003-yamaha-grizzly-660cc-3650-obo-4038618320-also-taking-trades-W0QQAdIdZ330533264 don't know what your budget is so i kept these 5 and under i think ... -

chris and his big red
oxidized_black commented on oxidized_black's gallery image in Three Wheeler ATC Photos
ya know, i had dirt bikes, missed the trike era, then got into quads, which i think is the cat's as*. i think i have driven chris's trike 3 or 4 times, i liked the smooth ride, good maneuvuring, and plain all out fun. you sure have to ride it differently than a quad and you will find that out in a hurry. LOL you are constantly looking for that sweet spot in the mud or bush where you know a quad would get stuck, but the trike slides over no problem. it's a different game with 3 tires ... -
nice -
nice pic ! machine vs. nature or vicea versa. looked like a beauty day for a roll. -
i really liked this bike when i got it except for one thing, rims. i bought the black rims a year later . black looked deffinately better than the silver. not to worry, the silver rims went on a grizzly silver se and looked awesome. -

offer him 3 or 4. how much for parts and whats your time worth to fix it? if its in good shape, snag it. if the parts come in under 500 $ then you have a nice machine for a grand. IMO... what is gone in the motor? just top end?

chris and his big red
oxidized_black commented on oxidized_black's gallery image in Three Wheeler ATC Photos
after a decent win at the local casino, chris splurged on this big red. very nice trike and one happy camper as you can see. hahaha -

where i live, i hop on the bike and go. all trails right at my back door. all you can hear in the summer months are quads and dirt bikes til the wee hours. summertime here it stays light, i mean light, to 11 at the peak, and you can still see at well at 2am. then light again at 430-500am. winters suck though, dark at 3pm LOL -

oxidized_black commented on oxidized_black's gallery image in ATV Repair and Modifications
i pressure washed all the flaked decals off, then got the glue off with 'goo gone'. plastic is all there but just faded and small scratches, nothing a can of pledge funiture polish can't cure .... try pledge on your plastics, better than armor all or spray 9 ... -
big bear project
oxidized_black commented on oxidized_black's gallery image in ATV Repair and Modifications
bought this beast for 400 bucks, not running, from orig owner and he told me it needed a stator. 200 $ later it was running. another 50 for the tires and rims off a grizzly, (and yes i know the fronts are backward LOL) got a little more than 1200 total invested, and runs like a top. -
