Had the tires on my 850 balanced today.

Two weeks ago, we were up in Wisconsin on a black top road, the wife on the back, just had to open her up a tad. LOL
Not the wife, the 850, at 68MPH, I backed off, the wife was screaming so loud I couldn’t think straight. LOL
The tires felt so bad the faster I went, the fronts were terrible compared to the rears.
The fronts had way more tape weights on them.

Tire Sealant

Anyone using tire sealant , I know a lot of people don’t like it , in the past tire guys would get mad when it was in the tire and refuse to work on the tire as it was messy and need gasoline to clean up , but the new stuff is water dissolved , I had some really good luck with the green Slime , I was at Home Depot and they don’t have the Slime no more , they had this blue stuff which I forgot the name and threw the bottle away yesterday , I had 3 tires to do and it was a disaster at first , made a bad mess when I would squeeze the bottle and it would blow the fill tube off the bottle and stuff went every where , the stuff is so thick I couldn’t get it to go into the tire thru the valve stem , I was about to throw the $15 bottle away as I wasn’t going to break down the tire to put it in , being I do hydraulics , I have accumulator charge kits that use Schrader valve adaptors , so I rigged up a tee with 2 shut off valves , pulled a vacuum inside the tire and shut off the suction end and opened the other port with the bottle of tire sealant hooked to it , it sucked the bottle so hard that it collapsed and I had to pick a hole in the bottle , which I closed up after wards with a screw —————– In 7 years that I have been living here I have had maybe 3 flat tires , last weekend I had 3 in one day and the tires are fairly new , little bitty holes , I hope it is torn tree sticks and not sabotage , what is really weird is all three where on the left side , one bike both front and back and a front on the other , it wasn’t on my bike so I don’t know where they picked them up at

I’m back

I got busy in life and got away for a while. Broke my phone and lost tapatalk. Got stitches in my thumb, got a German Shepard puppy, he’s a year old, broke a u joint on the 90 fourtrax, got my mud 300 somewhat running, finally cleaned out my shop, and still haven’t got rings in my foreman.

What yall been up to without me?

Warn ProPivot & Eagle 60″

Just curious if anyone would have any info on whether the Warn ProPivot system would work with the Eagle 60" system? Since there is no electric turn system for Eagle anymore, I was curious if anyone knew or has tried it. Any help or info appreciated. Thanks.
