KLIM Riding Jacket

Does anyone have a contact or know of a place that sell KLIM riding jackets/pants at any discount? I’m going on an endure/adventure ride in Colorado for a week and I am told good riding gear is a must b/c we’re riding rain or shine.

I’m looking for the KLIM Overland jacket (L) and pants (34)along with a pair of gloves. This stuff is top of the line, and you pay for it which is why I’d love to find a place that discounts it or has it used. I’ve checked CL and EB, not much out there for what I’m looking for.

2000 Rancher 350 ES Racks Stuck

Hi all,
I think I know the answer to this question but I thought I might ask anyway just to see if someone comes up with a miracle cure for me.

I am cleaning up a 2000 350 ES 4×4. It is now running beautifully and didn’t take a lot of work to get to that point, mostly a new battery and clean fuel.

I thought it was going to take a bit more time so I decided to do some cosmetic work. I want to restore the very faded plastic and paint the racks. I broke a couple old bolts off trying to remove the racks but I’m not too worried about that. It is the bolts that just turn in place when I try to remove them that I am concerned about.

I am guessing there is a welded nut on the frame of the bike that has let go and won’t allow me to remove the bolts. I can’t get a wrench in anywhere to get a grip so that I can remove the bolt. All the spaces are too tight. I have two bolts on the front at the very bottom of the front bumper that just spin and all 4 on the back rack closest to the tail lights just spin and won’t move.

I am guessing this is going to take some pretty significant bolt cutting/grinding and some custom welding to figure this out. But if I am missing something simple or obvious I am open to suggestions. Thanks!

2016 outty 1000 with hmf titan qs exhaust.

As the title states I have a 2016 outlander 1000. Looking at the titan qs slip on or full system for a little more power. I don’t particularly like real loud exhaust so this system is supposed to be 1 to 2db louder than stock. My question is do I have to run the hmf optimizer with just the slip on? According to hmf you have to otherwise it voids the warranty on the exhaust. I was under the impression with fuel injected bike like this the computer on the atv can compensate for the higher exhaust flow. Also as a side note would running this exhaust and optimizer affect the warranty? Thanks for any help/advise on this issue.

Brake sugestions

I just installed the rockcrusher portals on my 800r xmr and holy SH&^ is it awesome!!!!!!! The torque is ungodly and the height is just right not to big. The only problem I have ran into is the brake lines, the kit comes with new longer brake lines but the issue is the new lines has places for a banjo bolt on both ends, the problem is the stock lines on the 800 are sealed n you cannot remove them with out taking off the whole system :th_smiliepullhair: my ? is the guys that are lifting these 800 and 650 what are yall doin to extend your brake lines? the 1000 xmr brake system is different you can remove the lines individually which makes sense to me and if I had that system the kit that came with the portals will work but unfortunately I don’t.

’05 300EX starter/solenoid issue

A friend and I were out riding recently and we stopped to rest for a bit. When we went to restart, his 300EX appeared to be completely dead. By all appearances, it was like the battery was disconnected. None of the lights or indicators worked and hitting the start button did nothing.

We poked around and the battery connections seemed secure, and when we were checking around the starter we discovered it was extremely hot.

About 5-10 minutes later while we started looking at the trailmap to figure out the best way to tow out to a service road, the quad came back to life and started up. Everything seemed to be operating correctly.

This happened again later on, but it came back to life much quicker… within a minute or two.

Does this sound like the solenoid not disengaging or something else… relay or starter button switching?

thanks,
dave

Need some ideas/help

Hello everyone.

I am working on a 2000 trx250 and have no idea what to do next. I have swapped out the timing chain, oil chain, chain tensioner, and tensioner arm and I have adjusted the valves. The motor still has a very loud tick to it and I was hopeful you guys might give me an Idea of what to go after next. I have attached a video of the noise. It is audible mostly at idle, although sometimes can be heard through acceleration. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Vinyl wraps?

What is your experience with vinyl wrapping the plastics on your quad? Any particular brands of vinyl manufacturers? Tips for installation, how long it lasts? Cost? Alternatives? Pros and cons opinions ?
And of course pics of the finished product!

Starting issues

Hi,
I have just inherited my father’s house and land and in his garage is his Grizzly 350. I have used this a number of times in the past when I have been helping him. However, on my last few visits it wouldn’t start on the starter, but is fine using the manual pull starter. When I press the starter button there is a click from below the seat.
I know plenty about restoring old cars, but the Grizzly is something completely new to me.
Any help will be gratefully received. Also any general advice on looking after it, servicing, etc.
Nick
