I was told to stick with 25" tires if i wanted to keep the power that i currently have, Which is obvious. But if i go up to 26", Just how much power will i loose?
Right now it will lift the tires in high, on cement.
I don’t do much mud stuff. Mostly fast trail riding.
Ever since I fixed my 2005 Yamaha Bruin 350, it smoked like a chimney. I recently got around to replacing the piston and rings, but afterwards I ran into some issues.
-Valves are LOUD! Since the intake nut fell off, and I ran the bike without an intake nut the lobe on the cam may be messed up? Would like an opinion on that.
+ Bike seems to overheat. This is a weird one, it starts to ping like a car would when it overheats and looses power until it shuts itself off. Now these bikes I know are oil cooled, yet the oil level was fine.
The fan although doesn’t work, but I never had this issue before I rebuilt the bike just recently.
+ Smoke comes from the front of the cylinder head, like the head gasket/exhaust manifold area and it smells kinda like soot and oil smoke. This part is weird, because having smoke rising from under your legs while stopped is an odd occurrence to me.
+ Pops/Backfires from intake when cold starting. Lean condition? Or slack intake valve again..
Would love some expert advice, of course I will run through all the diagnostic courses such as checking valve clearance again and lean/rich condition via spark plug but I always like a second input on the issues.
Here’s a video of the valve/ticking noise for those who are wondering.
So I just bought a 2004 honda foreman 450es. Lovin it sweet bike. But the top end was just rebuilt. I’m wondering how to break it in. I’ve seen the two different methods easy break in and hard break in. I was thinking I’d go with hard break in. But the motor already has 2 hours on it so whatever was going to be done is already done. So what should I do?
Thanks.
I have a 2001 Recon and it does not want to spark at all. with out tearing down the motor what could a problem be. I have tried 3 coils and still not had a spark. Please help me.
I am looking at buying used Camoplast Tatou 4S tracks that are a few years old and seem to be of different badging than is currently offered, but are there any actual improvements to the track design over the last few years that would be incentive to buy the latest (new instead of used)?
I have a 2007 Polaris Sportsman 800 and recenlty the gas gauge always says I’m low on fuel even when the tank is full. I hate the electronic gas gauges cause they are rarely accurate but wanted to see if there is a quick fix. All of my other gauges work fine just the fuel gauge is not working right.

I have a 2007 Polaris Sportsman 800 and since I put a trunk on the back my rear suspension needs to be tightened up. No idea how that is adjusted. Anybody know what I need to do. When I gas it my rear end sags a lot so I want to tighten it up.
