The steering stem is probably bent where the tie rods connect. Set the bike up on the rear grab bar so that you can get a good look at the underside and look at the steering stem knuckles where the tie rods bolt...very common crash damage failure. Some people straighten them but the stock stem is just a weak pos. Aftermarket is $200 to $350 depending on manufacturer etc. You could probably hit some one up for a used stock one for cheap if you try the wanted section. If that is all that is wrong, don't let that stop from concidering the quad. You could also disconnect the fuel line, remove the 4 little bolts holding down the fuel tank and attempt to lift the tank out of the frame. If the frame is bent, frequently the tank will be stuck in there and difficult if not impossible to remove. I would check this since the handlebars are bent.

If air is blowing out of your dryer vent then you know the motor is running and that means you broke a belt or the idle roll tensioner...probably about $15 at any appliance store for either. If air is not blowing out of your vent, then the motor is not running and is probably bad and would cost around $100 for the part. Let me know if you need any more help. Ooops. what he said.

word amen to that brother what he said ditto

Sounds like you need your shock revalved and resprung for the new swingarm setup. Yank it off and send it to someone like TCS, they could get you set up just right for less than $200.

ProWedge 2's kickass...especially in dirt that has been softened up by a lot of drag start action. If you don't get the holeshot with the prowedge2's, your problem is not the tire.

Just curious...why would you want to do that? It would decrease traction when dragging and increase your center of gravity, making the bike handle more poorly when cornering.

What do you mean sick? Thats beautiful! I could fu@k that with my banshee!! It would be awesome if that were a natural occurance but I am sure that some earth moving equipment was employed in its creation.

So I am driving back from a kickass day of riding yesterday...cruising along in my 97' Z-71 w/120,000 miles...no sign of trouble when all of the sudden it was like my transmission slipped into neutral. This sucks...so I pull over to the shoulder...check the tranny fluid...its ok...smells ok...I shut the hood, get back in and try it from a stop and find that I can cruise along in second gear, but it won't shift out of second. I also notice that I have no speedometer and my ABS light is on. This makes me feel pretty good that it might not be major transmission problem, but just loss of some speed sensor feedback or something. Anyway, I drive the last 20 miles home at 3500rpm in second gear, doing about 45. Long story short (too late)...today it is fine . Does anybody know what in the hell happened...I am sure it will happen again so I would like to fix it now. Thanks.

Hey christophernpoo, what about rabbit and eor and tigger too!!!

ok Their black angus sandwich kicks much ass.

good one! I'm sure some of you have heard this one, but.... An electrical engineer, a mechanical engineer, a chemical engineer and a computer engineer are driving along in a car when it breaks down. The electrical engineer was sure that a failure had occured in the ignition circuit. The mechanical engineer felt certain that the valvetrain had jumped time. The chemical engineer insisted the problem was fuel vapor lock. The computer engineer said...I have an idea, why don't we close all of the windows, get out and then get back in and see if that fixes it.

He posted the same thing in online auction watch and mrmooney said he had one he would sell him for $30. Whats wrong with that one?

Here's one. Be warned that your time invested reading it will be greater than the pay off of the punchline. So this guy...he's a writer and he escapes to this secluded cabin so that he can concentrate on his work. He is there about a month and hasn't seen anybody. This particular morning a truck rolls up the beaten path and a BIG ole' greasy local boy gets out and itroduces himself nice enough. He says he's his nearest neighbor and lives down the road a few clicks' After they talk a while, the visitor says...by the way, I'm having a little party tonight, why don't you stop on by. The guy says... that sounds pretty good. The visitor says...I guess I should warn you, there might be some drinking at this party. The guy says...that's ok, I could use a drink. The local guy says...well some times there's fighting at these partys, with the drinking and all. The guy says...oooh I get along with everyone, thats ok. The local guy says...there's probably gonna be some sex involved too. The guy says...sounds good!!!! What should I wear??? The local guy says... Ohhhh it don't really matter...it's just gonna be you and me.

Stan is the man!!! Happy b-day Stan, you old coot. Since it's your birthday, send me your motor and I'll port it out for you for free. I don't have any experience or anything but I just want you to know that I am willing to do that for you...since it's your birthday . Happy b-day to you too BenBB....I'm sending you new elka race shocks all the way around for your machine

How much do you figure you should be able to get one for? I spend that much on 2 trips to pizza slut.

I don't believe that a plug of the incorrect heat range would increase chances of burning a hole in the piston. Plugs are designed with different heat ranges solely to minimize electrode wear and maximize resistance to fouling in a given application. Your fuel mixture is what is going to determine you combustion temperature...and a hotter spark, whether from a "hotter" plug or a high intensity discharge aftermarket ignition, is not going to make the combustion process any hotter. A hotter spark simply resists incomplete combustion more effectively...which is only an issue when running slightly rich, in which case the combustion temperatures would remain safe. Only when you are running lean do combustion temps become dangerous, and if you are lean...you don't really need a hotter spark to insure complete combustion...a weak ass spark will burn a hole in your piston then.

This post should be pinned just because it is so godd@mn hilarious. Just the whole idea that someone might want your boost bottle is freakin hilarious

Oh well, this is the roostin room... I think you guys on the coast (Cali and Maine) must be dragging down the scholastic curve for the rest of the country. Race450...close to where HE lives...and he will love THAT coming from a shee...I know thats what you meant. And gbf4ever...set him straight.... The chick in your avatar is hot by the way. Talk about the girl next door. Is that your girl, or you just wish that was your girl?

Are you saying that Lee banned this guy, or are you ASKING Lee to ban this guy? Don't stoop to his level of idiocy...you should try to make sense. I agree though. The dude is seriously psychotically dimented. He must be a real bad-ass dude because anyone else like him would get their ass kicked daily...repeatedly....over and over again...and again... with a few bitch slaps thrown in for good measure.

Anything with the Joker always looks pretty cool. The joker shooting pool. The joker with a fist full of aces or a fist full of green backs. The joker pulling some MX stunt on a banshee would look totally cool...on someone else anyway

and he also said: Your fu@king sick dude. You should seriously seek some counseling. A Scotsman and his son were surveying the herd of sheep from afar and the son said "dad, lets run down there and f*ck one of those sheep" dad said "no son, let's WALK down and f*ck them all!!!" Ain't you guys got any women over there???

OK, you are greatly missed. I would like to bring you back, double your pay and cut your work in half. Don't answer now, you just think about it, ok?

Your mom is like a 747....a 3-man cockpit! She's like a hardware store...only .10 cents a screw! Your mom's house is so dusty, the cock roaches drive around in dune buggy's! She's so fat, she fell in the Grand Canyon and got stuck! She once...twice...three times a lady.....

Thats cool I guess...but I have just as much respect for the germans as english really. Just because we speak english....there are a lot of Americans of German ancestory as you well know. Anyways, I don't care where your from, you seem pretty cool to me. Until you asked I hope you are not serious

Holy shit streetshee you kick-ass!!! Did you spend some time in the states or are there a lot of cool mofo's like you over there? Psychhhhh.............lick my ball sweat you fanny pak wearin, power-walking pussy. I bet you have all of Richard Simmons work out videos don't you? You been steppin to the oldies there haven't ya playa? Now I'm trying to get some work done, leave me alone. When you are at work, I don't go all the way over there and slap the dick out of your mouth, now do I???
