I have to siphon the oil out of my boat via the dipstick, and have come to prefer to siphon rather than mess with the drain plug I’m due to change oil in my 450 ES and wonder if there is any disadvantage to siphon vs drain?

Changing Oil, suck or drain

06 680
First off I’d like to say I’m new here and also new to the Rincon. I’ve always been a Polaris owner. With that said this is my first Rincon and so far it’s looking like my last. It starts and idles fine. Can ride it and goes good as long as you don’t give more then 1/4 throttle. Anything over 1/4 it Boggs and starts popping thru air filter box. Any help greatly appreciated

Compression testing
I’m looking for some advice on doing a compression test on a Honda foreman 400 1999 model, I have the compression tester gauge and I have the compression range, the Honda dealer i spoke with told me the compression should be 178-206 psi with the decompression not affected and 75-121 with the decompression affected both at 450 rpm, can any one shed any light on what exactly this means?

08TRX450R keeps dying out.. Help/advice wanted
Hey guys,
I was out on my 08trx last weekend and I let it run out of fuel (stupid I know). Ever since then I couldn’t get it started. I ran my battery flat and tried to jump it with no luck.
When I got it home I took off the bottom plate in my carb and blew out the jets. As I want to start it again it kicked and idled for about 5 sec then died again. It kept doing this.
So this week I left my carb into Honda for a clean, got a new spark plug and changed all the oil hoping this would fix my problem. It didn’t. It just seems to be doing the same as it was doing before. Any ideas to what’s going on with it?
Thanks
