I've thought of this myself.My cousin has a 2000 Big Bear and the cylynder and head all look the same from the outside. I looked at the specs on Yamaha's web site and according to them the stroke is different but the bore is the same.83mm x 64.5mm for the Warrior. 71.5mm for the stroke on the...

I cleaned my air filter last week and re-oiled it, but never really got to ride. From what I could tell in the back yard it still did it. I had bought a rebuild kit for the carb so I rebuilt the carb yesterday. While I had it completly apart I sprayed it out real good with carb cleaner. After...

It is a 32mm.

I was in at the local shop that sells Polaris yesterday and they had an Outlaw in the showroom. It is a chain drive just like some else has mentioned.

Before the 450's came out there were acouple of companies making aluminum 250r frames. From what I understand they were pretty good. I wanted to think Bill Balance was using one, but I'm not sure. The point I am making is if done right an aluminum frame's not a bad thing. Now will Kawasaki's...

From what I understand it is the shock loads from the gears in the transmission that stresses the oil. They can sheer the oil and cause the viscosity of a low quality oil to break down. I'm thinking it is the energy conserving oils that have the additives that hurt the clutch. I may get a...

I've been thinking of using either Castrol Syntec or Mobil1 in 20W-50 when I do my oil change. Seems the auto synthetics run close to the same price as the non synthetic motorcycle oils. Also here is a story Sport Rider did a couple years ago about oils...

Did some testing today with my timing light. Timing at idle is good.I rigged my light up so I could put the seat on an took it for a spin up the road. I can't seem to detect a change in the light when it starts cutting out, though I'm not sure I would at the RPM that it cuts out at. Sure the...

I moved the needle one notch toward lean and it didn't seem to change anything.I have since put it back stock. I initially thought I was lean and went up one on the main but it is back to the stock size as well. The main was before I discovered it would do it when it wasn't at full throttle...

Hey all, this is sort of a continuation of the "Whats it feel like topped out" thread. Did some riding today and the quad seems to have a stumble in the mid to top end range. It seems to be more RPM dependent than throttle position dependent. I can be in 5th or 6th at half throttle and it will...

Anyway to get it titled in KY? Then transfer that one to NY if need be.

I'd ride it while I was saving for a 450. The sell it and get the 450. That way you won't be without a quad to ride while you're saving.

I currently have that combination on mine.22" fronts and 20" rears. Works good in the woods though I did give up some ground clearance when I went down to the 20" rears

I worked on it some more today. Checked the needle.It was set at the stock position.I moved the clip up one to lean it out since I thought I was rich.Can't say there is a noticable change.Took the choke apart and cleaned it. Probably going to put the needle and the main back stock for now. I'm...

I stumbled acoss that last night when I was digging around for gas shelf life. I may have to check into getting one of those old army gas cans. I guess gas may break down faster than I thought, but when properly stored it can last quiet a long time.
