    polaris parts

    That is what i would think too about my winch, but its not just my winch. I've had several other winches pull on it too and they have the same problem. I don't burn them up because I only pull for short amounts of time before letting them cool. I don't know that I'm going to mess with polaris...

    polaris parts

    Awesome. I'm curious to see if it wakes up enough to make the money worth spending. This new computerized crap is too expensive to hop-up. I rebuilt the engine in my truck and added a different cam,throttle body, and air induction system for less money that it takes to hop up my atv. I just...

    Insurance on the 50 cc quads

    They don't require us to have insurance down here in the states on ATVs or motorcycles(street or dirt). However with my ability to do stupid things I've thought about it just to pay for damage if I drop one off a mountain side.

    Is 4yrs old too young?

    4 is not too young at all. I got my first Honda 125 fouwheeler at age five. My foot wasn't even strong enough to pull the shifter so I putted around in second gear(tallest gear it would move in without being able to shift) until I figured out that I could reach down and yank the shifter by hand...

    O7 Grizzly

    I'm not sure what the dry weight is but I remember comparing owners manuals and if I remember right the grizz is 70-80 pounds lighter. I could be way off though, it has been a year since we compared.

    Who has classic cars

    I've been in that situation before. Had mine suspended just once though for 90 days. When I was 14 my dad gave me a 73 short box stepside chevy (still have it) with a blown up engine. We rebuilt the engine and added a muncie 4 speed and a 12 bolt posi. That truck was alot faster than a dumbass...

    Bringing a sled back from US

    I don't know if it works the same in both directions but I've bought a dirt bike in Canada and brought it into the US. It was actually kind of a pain in the neck but I saved enough money that it was worth it. The dealer I bought my bike from in Fernie, BC had sold many bikes to guys down here...

    polaris parts

    It just seems trying to pull that thing out of the mud even with multiple ATV's/winches is like trying to pull a battleship with a rowboat. When my cousin's grizz gets stuck I toss him a line and give him a tug & the grizz pops right out. As far as lift kits go, I never really thought about...

    O7 Grizzly

    I currently have a 500 and 800 polaris sportsman. the 500 is mostly for my wife to ride. My cousin bought a grizz 660 and it runs about dead even with my 800 but it is soooooo much lighter and handles better. I'm seriously considering trading my 800 in for a new grizz with eps. I wish I had rode...

    Anyone drag race?

    I have never been to the track myself because we live far enough away from the nearest drag strip that I don't really care to. But my Malibu ran low 10's in the 1/4 before I bought it without an engine/tranny. It was a father son project car starting when I got my first job at age 14. It has a...

    polaris parts

    Thanks, I'll have to look around some more. I don't know whats up with my winch, if I don't use a pully block to double the power its almost helpless. Last spring I had a winch and two other quads pulling on it and it still took 1/2 hour of shoveling mud to get it to move.

    What Brand Truck Do You Drive???

    Here is my 89 Chevy. Rebuilt 350 with a mild cam, new tranny with shift kit, 3 inch lift. Its my daily driver. I've considered buying a new truck a few times, but I'd rather spend the money on more toys. I can keep this truck running for a long time before it would be cost effective to buy a new...

    04' 400 Polaris Sportsman????

    A guy I know has the same problem with an older polaris trail boss 250. It turns over fine with electric start but won't start. yank the pullstarter and it fires everytime. I havn't talked to him for awhile so I don't know what he found out but if you do I'd be curious to know.

    polaris parts

    I don't know how many of you ride Polaris, but I'm wanting performance stuff for my sportsman 800. I found a pipe from aaen but I've heard that the big bore quads are de-tuned from the factory and that you can get alot more power with an aftermarket CDI box or chip/programmer for the fuel...

    Your the only person I've talked to besides my buddy that believes me. Others just look at me like Im an idiot(which may be true). I'm not even a ford guy and I know they exist.

    For sure, I just bought a new video camera that also takes still pictures. We havn't been riding alot here the last couple months though thanks to the fires. One of them is burning right through a riding area, and another is only about 5 miles from my favorite muddin spot. A word to the wise...

    What do you wear when quadding?

    It depends on the time of year. Winter time I wear White's snow boots, carhartt insulated bibs, and a carhartt coat. Under my helmet I have a thin hood/mask thing and a nice pair of ski-gloves. Spring/fall I love to play in the mud so I'll wear my jeans and a tshirt or sweatshirt with a...

    Who has classic cars

    Ford actually did make a 352, I wouldn't have believed it myself if my friend hadn't have shown me his 67 ford truck with one in it. I have a 64 chevelle/malibu with 454,doug nash 5spd, dana 60, 6 point roll cage. Currently parked needing a complete rebuild from years of hard use while I was a...
