I am a noob here but certianly not a noob for the forum world.
Man my computer is SLOW..let me fix this.
Okay, Houston….This The Noob Messiah, we have connectivity, over?
I am just a guy from SW of FtWorth, Texas on a ranch that was my grandparents here in Godley (near Cleburne and Burleson, Texas) that I have grown up on since I was 4 years old. I am a working guitarist in a local cover band here 24 years on now 3 Day Bender, a father of 4, a Grumpa of 2, married with 6 dogs and 9 chickens LOL. My oldest daughter and her husband, a FtWorth police office,r just built a new home on 3 acres I gifted them last year. My mother in-law and her husband also live here on The Rockin K Ranch as well. It’s kinda like The Walton’s really…Beats being bored in country. I am a Domestic Engineer these days and my wife, lees779 is CISSP Firewall engineer for Dell and works from the ranch house these days (I am blessed, what a great life. I hope i don’t croak tonight :))
I joined because a few years ago I bought a 2005 TRX250EX and I have been having to do some repair and rebuild of the rear brakes and all that that encompasses. I don’t want to wear out my ATV shop welcome by whipping there a** constantly on questions. I have learned in my 10 years on forums that this the greatest resource there is….PERIOD.
So, i’ll try not to do the same here.
Great to meet y’all and hope to get to know some guys soon.
2001 Polaris 50 Scrambler, new starter, battery, rectifier, cdi box, coil, stator put a 70cc jug on it and new carb with new jets…. Bike just won’t turn over like there is too much compression… I even hooked it up to my truck and and it still feels like there’s not enough power… I take the plug out and she turns over like nothing. Baffled here… Appreciate any input…
I have a 2008 450 Sportsman, I have just purchased it from a friend been sitting in the garage for two years! I rebuilt the carb and installed a new battery touched the key a fired up. we rode the bike for a couple of hours that day and put a tank of gas through it. rode it off and on for a couple more days and last week I was pulling a small utility trailer moving some things around a yard, the bike was siting idle and made a noise like a backfire and the bike went dead, it has not started since. since then I have changed the spark plug, fuel pump, and cleaned everything I can think to clean. I am getting gas, spark, and air but it still will not start. Any suggestions on where to start next?
Wrapped stock exhaust, didn’t really help as much as I wanted. Still melted seat.
Took off stock heat shield and added heat tape. Didn’t help much.
So new exhaust was next approach , full muzzy duels and vforcejohn pc5. Pipe turned purple and Still running to hot melted the black side plastic and the cvt outlet snorkel . I put the dei floor and tunnel heat stuff on plastic beside exhaust. Seemed to just push the heat to a different part of the plastic where I didn’t have the heat tape. John told me I needed to change the afr to 12. 9 or 13.
Next step was to buy autotune so I can change afr. (Still working on tuning) but still ain’t seeing much changes in heat from exhaust. Got over 2 grand in exhaust turner and auto tuner. Bout 300 dollars in new plastic and seat.
If this autotune doesn’t help thinking of getting the exhaust ceramic coated. Anyone see much difference in heat from getting ceramic coated? Running out of options.. hate to sound like a dead horse. I know everyone is having problems with heat with the xmr. I just can’t seem to find a good solution to keep from melting plastic. So if anyone has any info on the ceramic coat if it helps or not any advice will be appericated. Thanks
is there a website of list that shows where and when XC or Harescarmble races are being held? Iknow the GNCC website has the big races but what about the lesser known smaller series?
Hey guys just picked up my first ATV, a 2015 Polaris 570. I live in Downtown Vancouver, BC but am going to be storing and doing most of my wheeling in Chilliwack, BC. So far I had some fun at the Bench road In Chilliwack and did a couple trails in Coquitlim in the snow(Eagle Mtn)
Would like to hear about some cool trails around the Fraser Valley/Lower Mainland and hopefully meet other riders 🙂
So I’m going on a road trip starting in New York, going up the coast to Newfoundland, back down towards Chicago, across to Denver, up to Banff, across to Vancouver, and down to Los Angeles.
Not sure if I’m bringing my Rhino or my Outlander yet.
Favorite places to ride along those general areas? I like forest trails, mud, some rock crawling, scenery, views, lakes, that kind of thing.
New 2015 Honda rubi owner. Finally pulled the trigger on one. I was originally looking at bikes twice the size with twice the price tag. Saw a honda ad with the sale price, picked the bike up that weeekend lol. So far I love it. I live on a small river where the water averages 1-3 feet. The bike is perfect for it. Went with the 28" mega mayhems on 14" M20s. Love the way it looks. Got a 2500lb kfi winch tucked in there too. Next on the list is the HL diver down snorkel kit and 2" lift.
Hello, I have a 2015 Can-Am Outlander MAX XT 1000 with a rad relocate on it. I don’t really like the front rack and have no use for it, it is possible for me to take the rack off and mount it like the XMRS have it and the side bumper protector things?
Thanks
