From what I was told the ones doing the hunting is the owners and they really don't want you out there during hunting season. Heard this from several sources but never been able to verify. Either way just makes sense not to go during hunting season for everybody's sake. Nothing kills a fun day better than someone getting accidently shot.

Just got a 01 Sportsman 90 and trying to figure out the proper procedure for starting it. What I mean by that is there is two ways to push the starter button (right & left). I am assuming one direction turns the starter plunger (or choke) on and the other doesn't. This is a new system to me and curious if I am even close to whats correct.
Thanks In Advance!

Funny you mention that I just did and it is around 170 to 180. Not much of a difference but definetly a not the same.

It is a 2 Stroke and there is no air fuel mixture screw on this carb. The air filter is clean and spark plug has been changed. I even swaped the carb & reeds from the bike that is runing perfect and no difference. This bike is definetly under powered compared to the other one.  Ran a compression check and it is around 130 to 140. I am not sure what the spec's are for this bike so don't know maybe its time for new rings or not.

I have a Suzuki LT80 that has a bogging problem. Runs fine except when you first hit the throttle it bogs down allot and then finally takes off. Seems to run fine otherwise but not as fast as the other one we have. Cleaned the carb and found nothing still runs the same. Unbolted the exhaust and still runs the sam. Checked the reeds and appear to be good. Next thing that I can think of is worn rings. Anyone know what the compression is suppose to be for this thing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
