hey all. so my front brakes are very soft. first squeeze i can get the lever all the way to the handlebars without much resistance at all. but if i pump them, they tighten up and the brakes work as they should…. but then after a few minutes, they are soft again.

i checked the fluid in the master cylinder and its full.

hoping not to just throw parts at it.

thanks all.

Well, I recieved a wolfsnout a couple years back as a gift… It has worked well the few times I’ve used it… But despite my rare use of it, it hasn’t held up well. It’s splitting at numerous seams. Is there anything you would recommend to fix it? Any special type of glue I could use? It’s not usable in its current state.

If it isn’t repairable, do you guys have any type of warranty or replacement policy?

Had the quad out on a 80 mile, mostly gravel road, trip yesterday… It seems to be cutting out once it gets hot. Once it sits and cools down its fine. Full fuel tank. Roll over valve bypassed. If you manage to get through the bogging and get to high rpms it stops doing it, but as soon as you let off the gas and decelerate, it bogs bad once you get back on the throttle.

Not sure where to start with fixing it. This is the first issue ive had with it that it wasn’t a obviously common issue that id already seen around the forums.

Thanks folks.

ive been tossing around the idea of doing a DIY airbox lid mod with some outerwears… i did it with my sport quad and saw some serious gains… but i recently saw this product… https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p…-Air-Box-Vents

has anyone done that to their griz? never knew the product existed. i think id still go the outerwears route, if i do anything at all, but its a pretty neat product.

speaking of… is there any reason for me to open my airbox lid? on the sport quad it added a lot of power by itself. enough to do a rejet… but will it do much of anything on the griz? i cant do an aftermarket exhaust for sound concerns…

has anyone else had experience with them? im going to share mine.

2 years ago… cv clicking… ordered a hunterworks axle… tossed it on… good to go.

in the past 2 years. between being busy with life, and getting a second quad, the grizz gets limited use.

so at the end of last season… cv clicking. from the same axle. first ride this year… snap. inner joint grenaded…so while my 3 remaining oem axles are at about 3000 miles each, the hunterworks made it all of 2-300 miles.

so i emailed hunterworks…

"at that time we did not offer a warranty on axles. there is nothing we can do"

my only response was that i knew there wasnt anything you were legally obligated to do. i just thought you might stand behind your products a bit more than that.

ive got their sheave… its a quality piece of hardware i suppose. but their axles… nope. ill go elsewhere, thanks.

now for the replacment i havent decided. im torn between getting a $200 rhino axle, and finding a ~$60 used oem axle.

hey guys. so ill start this out by saying that i grew up in a ford household. but i have 0 brand loyalty. i also have no real knowledge in the truck market… only that i grew up in fords, and my dad will always own fords.

im about to go look at a silverado tonight. 2004 silverado 1500 ls. extended cab. 5.3L… 6.5′ bed. it has 95k on the clock. my father jokingly said he wont be seen in it in daylight. fine by me. we can rack up miles on his f250sd allll day long!

what are your thoughts about that generation silverado? common issues? if you arent a chevy guy, what are rumors youve heard about them? is it a pretty good truck as far as reliability is concerned?

that is my chief concern. reliability. it will be my 2nd vehicle, mainly used for towing and it will surely out tow my grand cherokee with a 4.7L that it is replacing. so "performance" wise, its pretty much a moot point. ill never be pushing its limits as far as towing goes.

it has a receiver under the bumper. idk if that is standard,or if that means it came with a towing package. ill have a brake controller in it.

anyways. thanks for the guidance!!!!

ok folks… this isnt on my grizzly, but its a general shock question, so hopefully someone can help me out.

i have a suzuki ltz400. an 03. found a set of newer piggyback shocks for it, with compression and rebound adjustments, for a very good price. well, i got them on yesterday… the issue i am having is, on rebound, there is a loud "clunk"… it doesnt seem to be at any given point in the travel… usually just halfway through the rebound, wherever it is. i can push the front bumper down 6" and yank it up 3" and it will clunk. i can push it down 3" and yank it up 3" and it will clunk..

it seems like it has 0 rebound valving, in that it rebounds without any resistance till the clunk, and then it slowly rebounds.

so… any idea what this is? sounds like my great deal wasnt too great.

ok folks. so i wanted to see how you pack your bee…soda on your quads.

not so much the storage box/bag you keep them in. i have storage boxes on both of my machines… more along the lines of, what goes inside of the rack box/bag that you put the soda into to keep it from rattling around, getting crushed, and getting pierced.

ill start by sharing my technique that has worked so far…

i start with one of these cheapo cooler bags that come with certain types of beer(dont worry, they also work with soda).

i put that in the rack box, and inside of it, i put an insert from a kolpin cooler bag(the kolpin matrix) i was given inside of it.

i can probably fit about 10-12 sodas for the whole group with a bit of ice on top.

it works pretty well. especially if i keep everyone from crushing cans. ive found that crushing cans gives you extra room which lets things rattle around and you end up with cans that get micro holes in them, which results in soda all over the place.

my problem is… my kolpin matrix "insert" is wearing out. the padding is nearly non existent, and it is a bit "funky" and has an odor of stale soda. i cant find an alternative storage solution. i thought about buying some neoprene and having my girlfriend sew up something similar to it, but neoprene isnt easy to sew, and it aint cheap either.

so.. show me or describe me your soda transport ingenuity!

just wondering what tires you guys think are best.
