ATV ramps

Evening all, 1st post newbie to the forum here. I am a recent convert to ATV’s and sld off all my snowmobiles to do it. Winters are just too unreliable here in Maine. Anyhow, have an enclosed trailer I am going to transport my Polaris and Yamaha with, but I want to put the Honda in the bed of my truck. I see there are tons of ramps available. Does anyone have a recommendation? Thanks, Jay.

05 Predator 90 2stroke. Cvt question

I was inspecting the cvt belt etc.. and after i took the belt off l noticed that the cvt Driven clutch cover moves up and down some if i grab the shaft and shake it. Is that normal?

Also i was wondering what brand carb everyone buys to replace the existing one when its trash?
Also i am deleting the 2stroke oil reservoir and running mix 40:1 in the gas tank. Can i just leave the hose the runs to the oil pump alone zip tied or should i remove it and use a rubber vacuum cap to block it off?
And my last question, what topend rebuild kits are good for these things?

Yamaha Glide Skid Plate Mod

Hey guys, I just got my 2015 Friday past as well as some of the accessories, one of which was the glide skid plate. I read a while ago the issues and concerns some of you had with screws pulling through etc…

Well I though of this a while and came up with a full aluminum skid plate to assist with the durability and additional backing for the attachment points, here are a few pics.

I got my local fab hope to make this up for around $100, whats your thoughts?

Any questions please let me know, thank ya!

FYI, I also ordered another mounting hardware kit to add a few more attachment points, just to play it safe!

Dang, how do I post pics…?

2010 Polaris Starter

Looks like I need a new starter for my 2010 Polaris 850 Touring ATV. Polaris wants $360 for a new one. Has anyone ever ordered/used a starter from DB Electrical. They claim to have one available for $99? Any other guidance will be appreciated. Thanks. Neal

Play in steering

My 2014 Honda foreman has a lot of play in the steering. When you turn the handle bars left to right while sitting still there is a gap where nothing is turning. When you’re riding at higher speeds it makes the atv hard to control. Any ideas on adjusting something or replacing something to fix this issue?
