I took my needles out today to change clip positions and noticed that the piece in side the slide that holds the throttle cable in place, was positioned different. One covered the hole in the slide and the other didn't. I cant remember if that hole is supposed to be covered or not...help please! pic of hole uncovered hole covered

Exactly!....there are none.... I've never seen so much trash, and not just at old camp sites...kinda sad..

went to Dumont today, and found out that they are now charging 20 bucks for a week, or 60 for a year pass... kinda sucks, but i guess i can understand them doing it....as long as they put the money back into it ....maybe paving the road way in...adding more pissers(rest rooms) and garbage dumpsters, and getting on site medics 24-7........... still dont like it, but......we'll see what happens.....

Dude grow up, it wasnt a personal stab at you... Ok so maybe my reply wasnt nessary, but still, lighten up a little.... i'm sorry you were butt hurt by what i said... edit: and yes, with some fab work, just about any bike motor can stuffed into an ATV frame

What's it like up there for new years??.....Does everyone get together and party or just do there own thing?? I was thinking bout hitting Dumont for a few days,since i have the week between christmas and new years off....but if glamis is better....????????

I wouldnt use a buell motor to wipe with...but thats just me....

ATV Sport if any. I usually just get it for the adds and new product stuff ...I did pick up a copy of sand addiction at a local 4wheelparts once though...not bad... OFF-ROAD(the truck mag) will have a write up everynow and then on a bike or quad too..not much detail, but still for a truck mag.....

Were you guys at Apex(Nellis dunes) last Sunday???....

I just DL'ed Ares...Thanks to whoever mentioned it.... It's just like Kazza used to be!....

the 6 million dollar man...uh banshee??!!!!.....

karma.........

The reeds finally came, but i never got the timing plate.... Shaggy, i'm glad you got your stuff, but you'd be a little pissed too if someone ripped you off...

A few of us are going up there for the day. Get in one last ride, before the "holiday maddness" kicks in (family..haha) We usually park by restroom number 7(i think its 7)...closest to dunes, to the right(of the main road that vender row is on) anyway we'll be up with a black nissan titan(white z400), and silver ford super duty(grey cannondale, blue banshee).

Where's my timing plate???!!!!!.....be carefull guys.

Take the carb totally apart. (Float bowl,float, both jets, the little plastic thingy that sits around the main jet) That way there's less of a chance of metal shavings getting in places you dont want them(and less to clean afterwards). I used a can of carb cleaner, and then blew it out using my air compresser. I used a dremel with the heavy duty cutting disk(not those small flimsy ones) to flatten the angle on the outside of the carb. I used a small screw driver and some sandpaper to deburr the inside. I guess i got lucky, cause i didnt grind all that much off of the outside. The screw is pretty much all the way in, but it idles fine. Dont forget to use soem kind of oil to lube the tap(i used WD-40), and take your time...

i just noticed that date on this thing.....

I'll 2nd that. best 100 bucks you can spend on that bike.

what the difference between the 2?

the sand is great(soft like beach sand in most places), as long as it hasnt rained out for the past couple weeks.. Prolly wont be heading back up there till after the first of the year(maybe new years,,depends on whats goin on).

I tried the BR8ES's today. No luck. same interference. I'm gonna look into getting a helmet cam...Mounting this one to the bike is taking it's toll on the cam and plastics...o'well....thanks guys

When someone says "rebuilt engine" they're usually talking bout a top end rebuild. So you should be ok since you say it's been done recently. I've owned mine since May of 2000 and have yet to do a top end rebuild. Up keep and maint, pretty much just changing out the tranny oil (most do it every 15-20 hours of ride time, some people do it more often), greasing the chassis(sp?) every now and then, cleaning the air filter, lube the chain. I have have left out one or 2 things, but it's pretty basic stuff.

Right on, thanks guys. sounds good. lemme know when your up for a trip to Dumont..

OH one more thing!!!!...make sure that the valve is in the UP position (i cant remember the tech term for it) when your adjusting it.

There's a similar problem with the older (94-01) Ram(half tons) 4x's. That POS one piece hub assembly.... At least you guys have a recall for yours.. good luck guys, get the shit fixed ASAP!!
