Glamis sand dunes mid January

We will be making our third annual trip to Glamis to ride the Sandune’s for two days. We are then thinking of going to the Mojave Desert Glamis north or the Salton Sea or maybe all the way into Utah to ride. Anyone here have any experience with those areas they can give me some pointers. We are flying in from Cleveland and need to rent ATVs everywhere we go thanks in advance . Next year we are shipping the scramblers out and making two weeks out of it instead of one .

2003 Rancher 2wd to 4wd conversion

Hello all!

I took the front case off of my 2wd and put the 4wd case on it off of my donor bike. The two machine’s motors are exactly alike other than the front cases. I have read in so any places where this is not possible. It is. My Honda dealer said they didn’t know if it would work and told me to go buy a 4×4 and don’t try and make one. Well, Honda made it, i just played with it a little bit. I pulled the front a arms off with the knuckles and a right and left assy. I didn’t want to risk the a arms being different as that is very possible. Plus, i didn’t feel like fighting upper and lower ball joint nuts, so I left verything together. While it was all apart, I replaced the wheel bearings. It is easier to swap the cases than it is to swap motors. I swapped the case with the motor still in the quad.

Good luck!

Don’t ever let anyone tell you that you can’t do something!!

Grizzly 550 Fi starter wires need help

Hi this is my first post, I got this bike not running from a farmer 550 Fi 2010 I think the vin is rusted

The wires on the starter were disconnected we have now put the positive from the battery on the top of the starter there seems to be another black wire there and a smaller black wire with a blade plug. at the moment when we turn it over by shorting the solenoid the smaller black wire is burning in the loom all the way to the front dash. I wonder if someone could take a pic or instruct me where the two black wires near the starter go if I put them both on the starter it slows down the cranking and heats the smaller black wire with the blade connection

any help would be good we have looked at the manual but i’m not that good with diagrams

Which GPS question

Hopefully I am posting in an appropriate section. I know there are lots of "which off road/trail GPS is best" discussions out there but many of the threads are older and things change.

What I am looking for is recommendations based on my needs which I list below.

I have a Garmin Nuvii 40 and can get a Nexus 7 tablet, I also have a Samsung S6 phone I am not adverse to using any of these devices if they’ll do what I want. I would get waterproof cover but would want to mount it on the ATV with a mount that would allow for quick R&R.

1. I want a GPS that is reliable for ATV’ing.

2. Ease of use is paramount. I love GPS but have suffered through the learning curves of the original eTrex’s. Basically I don’t want days of pain to learn how to semi use a device, and there is nothing, no feature that will overcome that.

3. Must be under $400 and be able to handle most of the downloadable maps.

4. Save my butt! I have been in the situation where I was on unfamiliar trails and losing light with little idea where I was. I want a device that can eliminate situations like that by reliably tracking me back out or better yet, show alternative quicker routes.

5. In Hatfield & McCoy and other locations some of getting from point a to b is on paved roads, so a GPS that can show paved road directions is a must

Snow on a plow

Winter in the great north is here and plow season is in full motion. I know a clean, painted plow are a great help but what other means or tricks have others done to keep snow from building up on the plow while plowing? Has anyone ever tried rubbing the blade with vegetable oil?

Help

okay okay this question has been answered time and time again but can someone just answer it for me again. I have a 2016 Yamaha Grizzly 700 Le for around 4 months now, i want to get 27 or 28 inch Maxxis Zilla’s. What do i need to do for Shim secondary spring and or weights. Will i be fine with running a 1.5mm shim and a purple Epi spring. I know i will lose a bit of power, so my goal is to get it back i dont want to lose a lot of top end and i want my bike to engage smoothly not supper jumpy so basically like stock with bigger tires. Btw i ride trail/snow mostly and go through the odd mud hole if its in my path. please help me out thanks braeden

1984 Honda trx200 clutch problems

The bike runs fine. When i put it in reverse it will drive as well but when i put it into 1st gear or any other gear it won’t move as soon as you put it in to gear it stalls, put it jnto neutral and it runs again but dies when u put it into any gear. But works in reverse. Whats wrong? Is it the clutch or clutch pads? What?
