the steam test picture looks nuts! ill be picking some of this stuff up once i get the quad fixed, i love snow rides but hate the fog

you shush betty white

ill come pick it up tomorrow if you really want it gone

i just realized i said ben and younger in the same sentence.....wtf is wrong with me today lol, we know that shit cant be

$30 is $30 man....and having two is nice, in case you end up having a toy somewhere else, or helping someone out, or doing whatever.... doesnt hurt to have them separate instead of connected, but there are some situations where itll help to have 2 separate ones (i have two juniors)

yep...i agree 100%...sure it matters about the bikes, but i think the rider is what plays the major factor....ide rather be around someone with loud pipes that rides sensibly, than someone who runs it out to 12k before shifting in parking lots lol

you misunderstood...i know plenty of people with bikes they built for drag racing, and they get raced several times a week....if they ride the bike out to a bike night or a trip to iron pony etc, i see no problem with it...if the bikes actually have function, i dont see a problem... kinda like someone driving around a street/strip car with loud pipes, versus a high school kid with a straight piped civic now, riding like douchebags in parking lot, and being obnoxious about having loud pipes are totally different things from what im talking about....those guys earlier seem like they would been douchebags on anything they were riding, even a vespa

the only time i ever find loud pipes like that to be acceptable, are on drag bikes....and i dont mean stretched slammed bling machines that never see the track....if someone legitimately races their bike at the track on a regular occasion, it doesnt bother me....although, those damn drag pipes are loud the riders sound like douchebags, tearing through the parking lot

you look similar to my cousin - except younger

ftfy - and YES

win!!

awesome about the baffle! too loud for me lol

its funny because i kept thinking i shouldnt have sold it once i saw you fixed it the first time...but now i got it back with a bunch of new parts

ok ill be over tomorrow to get the rest of the stuff and talk to you about what i wanna do with it from here.... ill talk to you before i pull the motor this time...last time i pulled it i followed the manual and ended up with a bare frame + front suspension lol....i think it was overkill

do the lambo conversion on it

the black piece on the left was plastic i think...but it broke apart when i touched it...the rest is just really thin metal..and i said shavings because theyre so thin and not chunks.. i really have no idea where they came from...pull stator cover off and didnt see anything obviously wrong - next is to get a puller and get the flywheel off and see what im looking at....ill go from there, rob i may get at you tomorrow about that puller if the guides look ok then my next step is going to be pulling the head and the jug and seeing what im dealing with

i love clams giggity giggity

anyone have kevin cliffords contact info? my mom told me she needs to get her car fixed, someone hit it in a parking lot or something and didnt stick around...she doesnt have much money, but its silver so it should be easy to match the paint and get it fixed up....anybody?

it always "can" be worse...im not gonna get my hopes up until i get it opened up...appreciate the help man

thanks judd...hope youre right...got a little discouraged when i found the metal shavings and came inside...ill get back at it tomorrow or something and get the stator cover off and see what i can find

got it off...checked timing chain and it is infact loose, even with tensioner out all the way...got excited and thought "sweet it needs a chain"...but apparently, that is not the only problem...drained the oil any idea what those shaving could be from? judd says it could just be the guides and tensioner arm

doubt it....probably very unsafe for quads/dirt bike to be sharing trails with trucks...just a guess though, i guess i could be wrong...i wouldnt want to ride along side trucks lol

what about when the extractor breaks off in the bolt? **edit got it! drilled it a bit more to be able to fit my t40 torx in it and hammered it in there and it came out! thanks everyone

thanks IP
