Super coolant

I have to ask has anyone used any of that super coolant stuff like Lucas super coolant or water wetter.. I bought a bottle of that stuff to maybe run in my Polaris atv and my ski doo f3 snowmobile.. I don’t want to dump anything in that might screw them up either.. They say its safe but you never know..

scrambler wins

Ok after about 2 months of back and forth can am polaris I’ve decided polaris. Now the pass month or so been 2up touring sportsman. … or the sportsman. …. or the scrambler ???? Of course I’m talking 1000cc, after talking with the wife about her riding and the kids riding with me I’ve gave up on her and I’ll be getting a scrambler and probably buy the kids a 110cc to share. Local trails wife can safely ride double with me and have no issues. I’m going to wait ti Ll the 16s hit the floor and wait to see sales. I was planning on spring time buy ( that’s not out the window yet ) Now here’s my question for the scrambler guys or anyone that knows everything …. great that’s the while board …. what are some good add ons. I’m going to get a winch, probably tires and full exhaust. Was thinking about those fender extender I’ve seen on a few scrammy. Open to anyone and all 2 cents thoughts.

New Rancher 420 owner

Hello All,
I just purchased my first ATV. Yup, only took me 43 years to get it. I bought A nice, well cared for, 08 Honda Rancher 420. This bike is stock except for the addition of a Warn winch. This will be used primarily for getting into and out of my remote hunting locations. Most riding will be on trails through the woods, tractor trails or fields. I have already replaced all the brakes and rebuilt the master cylinder with the help of some great advice I found researching on this forum. Thanks to all of you who post those threads as they were very helpful. My only job left to do on the bike is to replace the worn tires. Since I’m replacing the tires its a good time to make some upgrades. I’m considering upgrading to a somewhat larger tire with more aggressive tread than the old stock tires. I’m thinking conservative upgrade. The stock tires are currently 24x8x12 front and 24x10x11 rear. I’m considering going to 25 or 26 inch tires to gain a bit of ground clearance. Living in the snow belt of the north east means I’ll be riding in deep snow and lots of mud. I’m not looking to mud bog just make it to camp through the deep rutted trails. I would prefer to not have to make any modifications to the engine or drive train as reliability is most important to me. My question is, Which of these tire sizes would you suggest and what kind of performance loss am I going to experience with the larger tire? I have considered a 2" lift also but am concerned about reliability issues with the changes. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
