Got one of my ATC's all serviced and ready for our family's first big camping/riding trip of the season coming up this week. We will be spending a whole week on Tug Hill.. Can't wait!!

Hoping my 41.2 PWK comes in before we leave so I can bring my big bore ATC as well....

Stayed up till 3 this morning cleaning the clutch side, rebuilding the water pump, triple checking everything & setting the engine in the frame. Got to install the intake & exhaust, compression test, bleed front brakes, put in all fluids & it'll be ready to ride for the first time in two years......... I can smell the dunes.

Just got done ripping my 86 down to redo. I originally was just going to fix a crack in the frame and replace the stem bearing but after checking stuf over , the rear shock was leaking, bottom out bumper junk, and carrier bearings are shot. Took the motor out to fix the crack and found the bolts were loose and that caused two more cracks and wobbled out holes. I also took the topend off to do a new piston. Then the damn pivot bolt was stuck! Pb blaster saved me there.

I went out and looked at mine and wished I hadn't spent the first nickel on it

Ride Red, how are the trails up there? Are they groomed and smooth or will they tear up bikes? I've been up there snowmobiling and it was awesome.

Got the pro-x 310 on today.
the good, Its on and passed leak down.
The bads, I'm thinking 1 head stud is stripped. It torqued down to 19 and seemed to only spin after that, time restraints mean its probably staying how it is for the moment depending on whats going on after the break in, keeping an eye on it and parking it if something goes wrong during the trip.
The paint didnt take very well and has chipped in a few spots. Its also staying as is, ill probably powder coat it when i have it all down next time.

Not today but yesterday I cleaned up a stock cylinder that will be getting bored on monday along with getting my shocks recharged. I also started putting my front end back together, went with stock red frame and gold arms, then i took the 4stroke "R" for a good ride but ripped off my rear skidplate!

Nothing all weekend and it makes me sad.....:sour:

I ended up fixing that stud, Didnt like the idea of it being done half way so I was going to put some other stuff on hold (ended up being simple and dumb)

Well went to do a quick clean in and polish on the ol bike before the dune trip this weekend. Found my antifade to be loose, figured "ah easy fix, no big deal at all." Go to tighten it and it won't squeeze everything together. After some investigation, I thought I could see bearing on the sprocket side. So I pulled the axle out quick and sure enough, carrier bearing everywhere lol. Luckily had a few spares

back on, ready to Ricky ride hard!

I also adjusted my squish and cleaned up the top end a little, closed up my squish from .056 to .039

Well I finished up the minitooth today and got it fired up. Sounded real nice and is so nice to be able to push a button and have the bike start. I was going to post the fire up video and some pictures, but photobucket sucks!!
