Need help pricing 2013 570

I know the region will have a big factor but I’m just trying to get some ideas. I’ve got a 2013 570 with a 2" highlifter "lift", highlifter front springs, SATV rear springs, custom bed rack, 12" buckshot wheels with 26×9 bighorns – all 4 and an alba fuel controller. It has 300 miles on it. I know I’m not getting money back on the accessories but would $7,000 be a fair price? I’m located in Arkansas.

Tire madness 300 fourtrax

O.K. I just picked up a 95 300 fourtrax. I want to put some new tires on it as it still has the original tires on it. The sizes are strange. The rear tire is 25×11-9 and the front are 23×8-11. So if I understand right.. this thing has a rear rim that is 9"? and a front rim that is 11"? And two" diff in height? The first # is how high? the second # is width and the last # rim size right? Whats with the tiny 9" rim on the back? Not many tires to pick from when I search. How much wider can I go from stock?

2005 400 Rancher AT No fuel

So first post and it’s asking for help. But I’m at a loss.

Picked up the 05 from my inlaws because they wanted to get it going for camping season.

it’s been sitting in a barn for the last year and a half so they went out threw a battery in in and tried to fire it up…for some reason it wouldn’t do more than chug a few times an die…:icon_rolleyes:

I went over(courtesy of SWMBO) and picked it up to try and get it running.

List of work:
1. pulled, drained, flushed tank with fresh fuel, replaces with 4 gallons.
2. drained and replaced oil.
3. changed spark plug.
4. pulled carb and cleaned, made sure moving parts are moving, reassembled in what I think is mostly the right order.
5. Turned key. 😛

end result is the bike will kick over if I spray some starter fluid into it but won’t stay running for a second, after reassembly I did check the carb by draining the bowls and fuel is flowing in. tried using the primer but I don’t think it did much.

aaannnnd now I’m here scratching my head. So who wants to tell me what stupid little thing I missed?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Zillas got me out……

…to a road that is.. So my gf and I are 23miles from the truck and I get a flat, no pump! She and I rode that thing 20+ miles completely flat! Very rocky terrain hilly, mudy.. We rode to a road and got rescued, By the time we got to the road the tire was off the rim (obviously) when I got home I plugged the small hole in the sidewall and In the morning (if there is still air in there) things will be great! Hard to believe I can drive 20 miles on a flat tire and it isn’t destroyed!

side note* I was running 4.5 psi with two people, do you think I should of had more ?
