Anybody know of some good trails to ride & RV campgrounds that can ride Razors to & from in both Tucson & Yuma?

Washing your quad
I always spray my quad off with the power washer on the lightest setting and at several feet away. Before anyone says it I know it supposed to be bad for it. But mine get the best maintenance possible. But anyways. I then hand wash everything even underneath it wires and all. Then sprayed off again. Then hand dried. The plastic is waxed. all black plastic armorall’d then underneath is completely wiped down by hand with tire shine wires, hoses, inside of tires, air box sides and lid. then everything lubed that I can. Does anyone else do this or am I just ocd about it.

02 Primary Clutch
Hey Im new here but i figured i would give it a shot I have my 02 sportsman 700 clutches apart upon inspection the surface the belt rides on is pretty cracked up and taking it apart our tool broke the piece of the aluminum that the clutch buttons ride in. My question is can I upgrade to a 06 primary and secondary clutch? I found someone with both for sale or does anyone know where I can get a decent used primary for a 02? Any help would be great!

differential strength ?
over the years ive pulled quite a bit of things with my trx 300fw, small trailers, deer, logs, and even 2 other atv’s at the same time but nothing that put to much strain on it.
now here is my odd idea. i can get my hands on another 300fw with a bad motor really cheap and im thinking about using the front and rear diffs, axles and transfer case to make a 4×4 garden tractor. my plan is to lock the transaxle from the tractor to make it a posi and mount it sideways. then drive the transfer case and rear diff driven by the transaxle. what im not sure about is if the trx parts will handle the low speed strain of plowing snow, gradind rock and dirt and pull a good amount of weight here and there.
thoughts and opinions please? i realize there are other ways of making this a 4×4 but just curious since i can get the parts cheap. thanks for your time and experience.

Blowing my rad out
Changing out my coolant from an eth glycol, to Engine Ice a prop glycol and need to flush my system out fully before putting Ice in. Only problem is the ole ’11 Grizz 700’s radiator has a top tube and a ‘mid-ways’ tube, which isn’t conductive to draining at all. Best I can figure because the lowest tube is only in the middle, at best I’m only able to get half the radiator to drain. So instead of multiple fills and flushes what’s the best way to get my coolant system completely emptied of the old coolant?
Best guess right now would be to drain the whole system, disconnect both rad tubes at the rad, stick a compressed air nozzle down the top fill hole with a rag around it and blow it out.
Any better ideas?
2013 1000 melt down?
So this past weekend we were gonna go for a ride, drove an hour and a half to nearest trail everybody got unloaded and we started on our way. I noticed that the radiator fan kicked on relatively quickly but just assumed radiator was a little plugged with mud from previous ride. Well I only made it about five miles at an average speed of around 35mph. We came to a road crossing and the guy in from of me took off a bit faster so I figured I’d jump up on him and then let off. I took off about 1/4 throttle and it shot up to 40mph but didn’t seem like it would pull any more so I gave it more and more throttle all the way to full and still nothing then it started to slow down, it dropped to about 25mph and then the rear tires locked up. I haven’t had the time or more importantly the money to try to look into it yet. This to me is a text book two stroke melt down however this is a four stroke so it confuses me. If the antifreeze truly got hot enough to allow the rings to melt shouldn’t the atv kicked me into a limp mode for over heating?
