    Burning Oil Kawi Rebuild?

    Have a look at the valve stem seals after compression check. We had a 750 Brute Force that was burning oil. Pulled down for pistons etc, and found only problem was seals dis-lodged on 2 valves. Not sure why, but no problem since. Really CHEAP fix if that is your problem.

    Pony tank in a duramax

    To prevent accidental spillage, we usually use a transfer pump and a solenoid and use a rotary timer to ensure the transfer is not forgotten. Big Bro had to pay cleanup costs after he left switch on while stopped for coffee. Timer just as easy to instal as a switch, and much safer. Solenoid to...

    Stolen sled check stops

    We had a truck and 2 sleds stolen from Valemount a couple years ago. Buddy got up, was looking out the window and saw his truck leaving the Best western minutes after they opened the gate at 6:30. Called 911, person there would not call the on-call in Valemount as they "opened" at 8:00!!! The...

    New 6.7L Cummins power rating.

    They claim good to tow over 22,000 lbs! Just received an email from them. Sounds like they re-flashed the PCM. Just like the rest of us! LOL!! Class leading..... Wonder if they used the 2012 level playing field SAE specs to do the rating.;);)

    For all the Ford fans out there!

    I have been impressed by Fords' new engine, and I believe all other will have to go this way also to meet CAFE requirements. The fact it has current HP/liter numbers is a function of of the latest tech. Regarding the test: 1) Ford motor broken in, others new with "green" motors. 2) What are the...

    Do you boil over on those hot days?

    Back in the day, we were running Honda TRX 300s wirh oversize tires in the skeg to work with. Had temp lites on constantly. Switched to synthetic oil, lite no longer on. Don't know why, perhaps less friction = less heat, but that was the deal.

    09 Assault troubles

    Brought in from the states...good luck getting any warranty. ALL dealers I know are real bitter about US machines coming north. Even though the same machine is THOUSANDS less there. Guess they have to protect their cash flow. Having said that, once you do the rebuild, did you really save any...

    D7

    700 has always been a good engine. The 800 was a problem. I say buy it, use good oil and have fun! Check wiring harness near steering post to ensure no pinching of wires, and also where harness runs down on clutch side for chafing.

    Helmet Laws

    In the absence of personal responsibility comes regulation. Met a friend of a riding companion last year at Allan Creek. No Pieps, no shovel, no recovery gear. Helmet unbuckled, then took OFF while highmarking!!!! I told him I would not waste time digging out if he triggered slide, and left him...

    Side by Side Dunebuggies

    I have been on some trail rides with two wheel drive buggys. Spent all day pulling out, dragging around and drying belts. Hung up frequently. These units are fine for the children to run around on the farm, or maybe on dry, flat ground, but certainly NOT for our back country. Get a real...
