This is a "heads up" warning to backroad users in the Kelowna area. Westbank First Nations are Issuing Trespassing tickets for just parking in unmarked areas, because they legally can. Watch where you park, make sure it's not on Indian Reserve Land or you will get ticketed. The picture is near...
HID lights should be banned! They are far too bright for use on highways period. And add a suspension lift to a truck and you are blinded by the damn things. What would it be like if everyone had them on every vehicle on the road? It would be just as annoying as having strait pipes on all...
Quadding around Sugar Lake is excellent. Beautiful area to ride in, and can ride for days on end and never cover the same trails.
Sick trails you ask?
No one I know has even gotten sick on any of them, except the guys who drank too much beer all day and ended up being sick that night, but, does...
Went to the local Credit Union where I bank, they sell Insurance.
1,000,000.00 liability for $125 a year.
Better then the $365 fine if you get caught, and then the $125 to get it after paying the ticket with a red face.

New valves, guides and seals, or have to hand lap the valves. New Centrifugal clutch lining and springs. New change clutch...
Well, 23 years and 65,000 miles later, my tired old rattling 350 needs to be rebuilt as its low on compression and the timing chain and guides are worn.
Just wondering if anyone else had torn one apart and rebuilt it, or at least replaced the timing chain and guides, etc.
Any response in...
Like any other machine, if it was properly mantained it is a good machine.
It has its drawbacks, like poor front brakes, rough ride compared to newer units, and in some cases it is hard to find parts for.
Overall it is a real workhorse.
Considering it was the first 4x4 Quad out, I'd say they...
I have the same machine since new and have the same tapping noise.
The noise I have is from the cam chain, which really makes noise for the first 3-4 minutes, but when the engine warms up, the noise goes away.
My machine needs a new chain and chain guide/tensioner as the metal backing is what...
I am from Kelowna, originally from Edmonton, late 40's and still riding my antique 1986 Honda 350 4x4. Spent 30 years riding, camping, hiking in the Coal Branch Area near Cadomin and am now situated in the sunny Okanagan where I am quickly exploring all the trails around here.
I have a fair...
