Does any one use gas treatment, particularly ones that remove water such as a brand called Heet, in their ATV? The ETX has been acting funny and it just so happened after adding gas in. I don’t know if the 2 things are related but I thought I would try some of the treatment to see if it will solve the problem.
Can anyone tell me what all I need to remove to be able to install a full exhaust on the renegade xmr? Also is there a gasket that I need to reuse or replace? Just trying to get anew idea of what I need to do. First time dealing with 4×4 atvs
I need a place to hold my adult beverage while sitting.. cause I would never drink and trail ride :icon_ goofy:
Any suggestions???
I was thinking of removing the warning plate (riveted on) on the left side front fender and cutting a hole and recessing a marine style cup holder in there…
I have a 1991 Honda fourtrax 300 2wd. Starter hasn’t worked in 10 years atleast. Always kick started it. It sat for 6 years untouched, then I put fresh gas in it and a new air filter and it fired up and I drove it once. The rear end is completely out of it so I didn’t drive it long before I parked it for the last 2 years. Now I have cleaned the tank, fresh gas, cleaned the carb 4 times, each time I got it more cleaner then the time before. When kick starting it would fire and run just a second and die. Done that for days. Now all of a sudden its not even trying to start. Spark is confirmed, line from tank to carb is clear and flowing good. Now when I pull the carb, the engine itself smells like old gas bad, like no fresh gas is getting though the carb. On top of the carb it has a round rubber plunger thing that doesnt seem bad, but i really dont know for sure. On the overflow drain valve, it leaks gas out when rocking the fourwheeler and at just random times like theres no vaccum or something. Sorry about the long story. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance
Also want to know, the knob that adjusts the throttle, I played with it not really knowing what it did until I had the carb apart, now I need to get it set to where It should be. does anyone know what to set it at? Also the primer on the side of the carb does have a tiny needle pinhole in the rubber boot that sprays a tiny quirt of fuel every push.
I’m planning on buying a new carb for my son’s 2001 Sportsman 90 and need some guidance on which way to go with the air filter.
The stock set-up on these is crap as it’s easier for the fuel to run down to the filter as its so low. Not to mention the air box is cracked so it’s not really doing what it was designed for.
Any thoughts on just getting a carb with the small air filter mounted right to it like pictured below?
Anyone have good luck with the inexpensive carbs ($20-25) for these 90 Cc’s online (eBay, etc….)?
Possibly add a pre-filter and call it a day or try to start all over with the stock set up.
Also need to figure out why I’m leaking fuel around the stop cock when I turn "on" the fuel.
Question for you gurus. Last time I had the Predator out for a rip, I heard a metallic creaking noise periodically, not a consistent thing, nor loud, could barely hear it at idle when rolling, I figured the wheels were loose as I had this happen before. I tightened them up, and while I was out there, I decided to grease the axle bearings. To my surprise, it took probably 20-30 pumps before I had grease squiring out one side of the carrier. The bearings seem tight still, and I don’t notice noise anymore, but I am headed on a week long trip to Island Park, ID and am taking it with to explore trails there and hit up St. Anthony.
In your opinion, do you think I’m ok to ride on the bearings?
1. Hot left leg
2. Cold start problems
3. Lean condition so entire bike really hot
4. Horrible fit/finish of rear storage compartment
5. Hot front storage compartment
6. Pushing in turns
Any other issues for the list?
Does Yamaha typically fix things after the first model year, or wait years to rectify based on liability issues?
Brand new 2016 850 XT and both times I have ridden it, it’s gone into Hi temp and limp mode. First time out with it, I went through a pretty good mud puddle so I just chalked it up to a dirty radiator. I gave it a good cleaning when I got back home. Second trip out, and I’m avoiding mud like the plague and a couple of hours into the day, and the hi temp and limp mode comes on. My wife has a 450L and she is running the same conditions as I am with no issues. I decided to pull the inner fenderwell panels off to hopefully get more air into the radiator which helps a bit, but still not a fix. I had to cut a weekend trip short because of this and I leave for a 10 day trip in a couple of weeks. Any ideas?
