I bought a ’99 400ex that needs some work… Has timing chain noise and is worn to the limits. I have ready you can put a 450r timing chain on it and it’s a good upgrade. I’m wondering what sprockets I should use? Seems like a bad idea to keep the originals where my chain is worn. Do I use 450r sprockets or just order a set of originals. Seems to have plenty of power… Anything else I should change while I am in there?

Hey guys. As a lifelong yamaha man, I decided to taste the kool-aid and bought a new 2016 outlander xt 650. Thus far I’m very impressed compared to my last grizzly.

Just thought I stop and introduce myself.

I have a question about a front bumper mount on a 570 Sportsman
Is there a bumper that attaches to both the top and bottom?
I have the best forward plow mount that’s made: Moose RM4
Moose makes a pulley kit that mounts to the base of the plow and the cable thru the pulley and hooked to the front rack.
There is no strong attachment point above the grill so maybe I can install a front bumper for that attachment point I need on the top.
But the front bumper will be holding the weight of the plow when I lift it.

So, here I lay, listening to the river, and staring at the roof of the tent, listening to my wife snore, and I can’t help, but ponder why my 94 6×6, always has some kind of hub issue. If it’s not a leak it’s a wire, if it’s not a wire it’s a wore out clutch, if it’s not a wore out clutch it’s that spring, not the spring, it’s the awd button, not the awd button, it’s the gravitational pull of the moon, on the sand in Africa, causing one side to work in reverse, and the other to work going foward… Like now. Now, I already know there are only two brands of wheelers, zook, and pullaris, but, my hillard clutches are going to give me cancer… Did anyone ever make a mechanical clutch for these things? The 6x does just fine handling in awd… Or is it just time to start over all new…. This 6x is only used for one thing, going through some serious shit, packing the weight my fleet of 250 and 280 zooks the family ride cant, and a solid anchor to float them zooks across the river… Pretty extreme… Am I stuck with an electric hillard? Can I make it full time hillard with a speaker magnet or something? Anyone play with these?

hey guys ill say 80% of my rides are hard packed – but when winter comes, bunch of snow (colorado) and we all know mud tires do best in snow.

problem is, I can easily run 100 miles – 150 miles in 1 ride. So far OEM tires has lasted me about a year with enough tread still for another year I am estimating

so which tire is really good in wear but does good in snow. I was looking at zillas but heard they maybe last 800 miles? while others say that would last a good 2 – 3 years with normal trail riding.

swamp lites I also heard wear really well.

what you guys think
