I am new to this TRX-EX board and EX bikes for that matter , well today an EX found me ———— I had seen a while back a guy I do work for had it covered with a tarp in his yard and had asked him about it , said he bought the 2007 TRX250EX for his son new and kept it in the garage till about 3 months ago , it was used very little and those are the stock tires on it , it’s been 4 years or more since it ran , so long he can’t remember , they tried to start it to sell it and it had a dead battery and dirty tank and carb , so he moved it out the garage to make room , asked him what he wanted for it and he told me if you want it take it
I don’t know much about these EX bikes , I am going to start with an oil change , carb clean , spark plug , air filter , battery , flush the tank , clean the petcock and tank screen , drain and refill the rear differential
The clutch feels good , the brakes work , tires are not dry rotten , plastic hasn’t got a scratch on it , seat perfect , I think with a fuel clean out and a battery it will be running
what is this bike worth ?
I think I would trade it locally , for a 4×4 Honda
When the Kanati Mongrel first hit the market it was well received, featuring radial construction and truck tire tread pattern styling. The tire was a hit with side by side owners, but as machines increased in power, there was a need for increased durability
Kanati answered the call by beefing up the Mongrel from an 8-ply rated radial to a 10-ply rated radial. The 10-ply rated version has substantially stiffer sidewalls than the original version.
In early May of this year I had a new set of 10-ply rated 30×10.00R-14 Kanati Mongrel tires with 14×7 5+2 Raceline Scorpion wheels installed on my Wildcat X 1000. I was excited to test out the new version of this tire to see how they fared in real world; hardcore testing. You see, I’m known by my co- workers as being hard on tires. I disagree. Sure I drive my side by side very aggressive, but if you watch any of the manufacturer’s commercials they do the same thing. Plus, how else am I going to be able to give a legitimate opinion if I did not push the tires and machine to the limits? Any tire will hold up fine if you only drive on graded forest service roads. That’a just is not my forte.
I love the meaty look of the new tires on my Raceline wheels. Before mounting them I measured the circumference of the tire and divided it by pi. The tire measured a little over 30 inches tall at 14 PSI.
The first real testing ground happened to be one of the best off-road playgrounds in the country, Moab UT at the Discount Tire Ralley on the Rocks event.
This happened to be a great place for many aspects of the Kanati Mongrel as I was able to test the tire on blacktop, dirt, rocks and sandy trails. Trails driven include:
Poison Spider
Moab Rim
Cliff Hanger
Fins N Things
We drove back and forth from the arena to the trail head for each days ride, so I had plenty of on-road experience. I was very impressed by the smooth; precise handling of the tires. Keep in mind I do not balance my ATV/UTV tires, but these tires were smooth as glass.
For pressure I started at 12 PSI and went as low as 6 PSI. The trails we were on were not high speed trails, but more technical rock crawling trails. I found the Kanati tires to be very predictable. I could pretty much point and shoot the obstacle’s for the most part, although there were a couple of times on steep ledges, like the end of Cliff Hanger, where the trail would dictate your line as you had to keep up some momentum. Even at the more challenging parts of the trail, the 10-ply rated Kanati Mongrel only struggled at one ledge. That was partly my fault for not taking a better line. I even put the sidewalls to the test on multiple occasions. I had no flats at the event (which we saw plenty of during the rally) or any tire issues for that matter. Thankfully my Wildcat X also made it without any breakage.

I have an 06 Predator 558, with the proper jet kit and a Polaris pure exhaust. After a long ride I threw it in the back of my truck and headed home I had forgot to shut the fuel off when I did so and some fuel made it in the the oil. I changed the oil and filter along with the plug. I went to try to start it an nothing at all. I thought maybe the fuel "pump" so I got a new one of those and still nothing.
It has spark and with run on starter fluid fine and will also run if I run the gas tank line right to the carb, but not when it is ran through the fuel pump. Did I get a new bad pump of am I over looking something big?
My 19 year old son drove our Outlander into our new flex plow and broke the handle on top off. I don’t know how he accomplishes these things but he is a good kid and I only yelled for about an hour. It is the yellow handle though on ours it is black. Do you think it would be possible for me to buy a new one somewhere? I have searched everywhere I could think of with no luck. Does anyone know where they are made? He would appreciate any help so I will shut up about it.
I have 4 elka stage 2 shocks I ordered direct from elka for my 16 kodiack about 1 month a go with about 100 miles on them they are awesome shocks and greatly improved handling but I just sold the machine so I can’t use them. 800$ best offer want to use the money for new projects great opportunity for some one that was thinking about pulling the trigger only 3 rides on them. In box me if serious. These are preload and rebound adjustable amazing shocks you will be very happy. Next utility I own will have them from the start for sure just don’t want them

I recently got my brothers old 2002 400ex running again after 3 years of not running, (this 400ex is bored to a 450). It was running good for the first 2 days, yesterday I tried climbing a very steep hill with it. I might of been revving the engine too much. The 400ex is stuck in a valley doesn’t move, and doesn’t shift into any gears Not even nuetral It starts up quickly though. I don’t think that any of the gears are stripped because I can’t understand why they would strip from something this powerful machine is supposed to easily do. Anyone have any ideas of what happened?
So I’ve always heard about how great the Hatfield/Mccoy Trails are. I’ve been doing a little research and talked to a few friends. I am trying to set up a 4 day weekend trip with some buddies to go riding. The only problem is…I have no idea where to start!
Any recommendations or advice? I see there are 5 or 6 main trails, which is a good one for a first timer? I consider myself a good rider, but I do have a couple buddies that want to go who are good, but don’t have quite the experience as the rest of us. Also, I am coming from the eastern part of North Carolina. It’s going to be a long ride no matter where we decide to begin, but the closer the better!
Any advice/pointers would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks in advance. :icon_ goofy:
