    First ride in the sand 2016

    Finally got the sport quads going.Today was warm(18C) with little wind(Great for jumping).Surprised my cooling fan came on even with the larger rad.Will keep updates as the season goes along.My rear lonestar carrier seems to work well.All for now.

    Another end of a season........

    All done.Only trouble was getting the axle in(heat gun on carrier helped)and getting the hub on(seems hitting on one side of the axle with a socket blunted the splines,dermel tool/sanding bit cured it).Adjustments are simpler when it comes to chain tension(Comes with a cool little rod).Hope it...

    Another end of a season........

    Heated up the swing-arm(heat gun)and installed the frozen carrier(Greased up inside and out).This one doesn,t use any OEM O-rings on the inner race,just lots of grease.I also lined up the middle hole with the punch mark for the chain adjustment.Tomorrow I will :exc: .install the axle.

    Another end of a season........

    In the process of installing the LSR axle carrier(Had to remove the axle with the carrier still on it).Seems it rusted to the inner shaft.A little liquid wrench and a few taps of a hammer freed it off the axle.Both inner bearings were pretty bad(Quad saw very little water but the overtighten...

    2016 yamaha atv line,new Grizzly,Kodiak......

    That's what I noticed on the ride,the Grizzly is hands down the better quad(Ride,Handling,Comfort).Cheap shocks on the Kodiak holds it back.

    The last of the snow is melting and sand season is here.My raptor 700 has close to 3000 miles on the clock and is still a blast to ride.Over the winter I had to change the rear brake pads to the OEM set from Yamaha(Had to order the pads,backing plate,and plastic plate).Wanted the OEM set as they...

    Season over..

    Pretty much.Between working,rain,afternoons where the temps were to hot to ride(30+C)we still put a decent amout of ride time in.No major mechanical problems this season also helped.By the looks of things north america is headed into a deep freeze.The sand gets way to hard to ride here when it...

    Season over..

    Another end to sand season.Raptor held up well over the season(2800miles) along with my brothers 450(173hrs).May need a new set of front tires on the rap next summer.My chain now is adjusted correctly(way to tight last year which led to it wearing out too fast).Suspension is still great.Until...
