I have a ’85 honda trx 250. When I ride it wide open and then come to a stop it putters and stalls out. But will start right back up. It does not do that while riding slow and easy.

Hey guys I just wanted to know how difficult replacing the timing chain is, and if you have any advice on doing it. Thanks!

On my new 2015 Foreman Rubicon I’m not seeing any type of "switch" to switch to reserve tank. Am I missing something here? I know it’s all one fuel system and there is no separate tank. The manual just says "3.9 gallons, including 1.3-gallon reserve". I saw that some of the older models actually have a reserve switch that you turn.

Is anyone else going to this next weekend? I’m signed up for Both days, Long course Saturday, and short course Sunday.

First, I know this is a HIGHLY debated topic and I apologize in advance.

My 2015 Rubicon is running great so far, only have 6 miles and 2 hours on it. So happy I didn’t get the Can-Am!

My dealer recommend I wait to about 1,500 miles before switching to full synthetic oil, but how should I run the engine during the break-in period? How long is the break-in period? There’s NOTHING in the manual that mentions a break-in procedure. Some say baby it while others say run it hard so the pistons seat themselves properly?

Also, which oil should I use up to 1,500 miles? When should I do my first oil change?

Read this VERY interesting article about why it should be broken in hard. I’m sure a lot of you have read it before:

Break In Secrets–How To Break In New Motorcycle and Car Engines For More Power

Tires:
Okay, I’m a little confuse on this and I’m hoping someone can steer me in the right direction. There is a sticker on the frame of the ATV that states, tires PSI is 5. However, after reading the side walls of the tires it states 10 PSI. The reason why I’m asking is because with these stock tires are only 4 ply I really don’t want to hurt them, but again, I would like to put air in my tires as their are all reading between 3.5 and 4.5.

Speed:
Another part of being confused on about the breaking in the ATV and being in "LOW" or "HIGH". Dealership states 15 mph or below in low gear. Over 15 mph it’s high. I purchase this ATV to make it into a work horse around my horse farm. Most of the time I keep it in low, and usually stay below 15 MPH, but it seems the fan comes on more often. When I go out into the pasture (6 acres), if I have the need to go faster (for about .5 miles), yea I’ll jump it up into a high. But usually what is the general rule here.

Thanks

O.K. I’ve been all over the polaris website and can’t see the difference between the 1000 and 1000 LE Touring models for 2015. I did see the LE came with GPS but is there anything else that comes extra for 2000 more?

I’m trying to find a way to ride the trails with a cooler and ice with cans of soda, but in a way that they don’t get thrashed around and bust open. I pack them as well as possible but as the ice melts it causes the cans to get destroyed and a huge mess.

What do you guys do? Only solution I can think of is freezer packs, but they seem to get warmer faster.
