Thanks man. Saw your post over on atv riders, figured I would just respond here. Air box and intake worked fine. I just don't like the way the back half of the air box is gone. One good silt bed, and the filter would be caked.

This Saturday is the Parker 250. While I was riding my 250R, I couldn't help but wish I had some more time to dial it in, I would seriously be racing it next weekend! Oh well, guess my TRX700XX will get the nod. But Parker 2016, there will probably be a 250r racing!

Nice to see you got the chance to ride. Even if it was a short ride. Good luck in the race. Break out the 4 stroke faithful!!!!!!! :applouse:

I'd like to see some pics of your intake. How did you end up clearing the shock. What boot?

If you look at page 4 of my thread over on ATV Riders, I have a couple pics of the intake. The Pro Tect airbox is designed to use the oem boot, it comes with a piece of metal tubing and hose so you can get to the carb. The only difference between then and now is I had to move the box back a couple of inches, so the piece of tubing is a bit longer. I had to move it back because if I didn't the shock would have rubbed on the boot. Of course, moving it back meant I was going to have issues with the caliper and swingarm hitting the airbox. As I said, it works, but not really happy with it. One of these days I plan on having a fab shop build me a custom setup, but that will probably be a while down the road.

Just looked through my thread over at ATV Riders, page 6 has pics of the current intake setup. Took those after I had the fab shop work on the box.

I too wasn't very impressed with the Pro-Tect airbox.

The intake boot had to be trimmed to fit in between the airbox flange and the top plate, and there's very little clearance on the filter flange at the bottom of the box. My filter fell off because it never was on all the way.

Okay, it's been a couple weeks. Did you figure out what the problem was with the ignition?

Unfortunately, no. I haven't really had much time to mess with quads this entire year. I played around with it some a few months ago. All electrical checked out good. Started it and it ran for 5 seconds, shut off, and wouldn't re-fire. I was planning to race a night race on it this summer, so I pulled the CR ignition off and reinstalled the stock stuff so I could have lights, but I haven't had the time to completely install the stock ignition, so I have no idea if that will fix my problem. It's sad I own five quads and only one is ride able right now, and I can't even find the time to ride that one. I just need to find a way to put more days in the week so I have the time to work on quads. Didn't even have time to race a night race this year. First time in 10 years I didn't race at least one. :blue:

Doug sounds like maybe the trigger went out on that ignition, I had a few bad ones that those were the problem.

Thanks, will check out the trigger. i am sure it is ignition related, just have to figure out what it is, trigger gives a place to start.

I won't be satisfied till I see her with a big tank tho. haha.

You will be happy to hear I did get the oversize tank fitted up when I was checking out the ignition. At least it looks more like a desert quad!
