my friend sunk his quad at the last mud event and notice he got water in the oil and even after emptying it and putting new oil in it it still looks like sludge. What can he do to remove all the water. Its an air cooled quad so its not some cooling system problem.

Any ideas on the best housing up there? I'm going in 6 months.

Thanks

Honda, Yamaha, Kawi, Suzuki.... they would all have a cover or something with their name stamped in them. My guess is it's one of those Pep-boys (or some other) variation of a Chinese quad. Problem with those is parts, even though parts are obtainable online there will certainly be an instance where you need something hard to find.

I have seen very few chain drive quads with racks on them, Yamaha had the Wolverine but I don't know what other brands had.

yeah still stumped. its so weird the name isnt on anything. We need a new hub for the wheel because for some reason on this stupid thing the wheel bearing and hub connect to the wheel itself not on the axel.

Any more information such as prices and things. The forest site is down.

Great guy. Did awesome work on my 250ex. put in a new piston and rings. Haven't taken it on the trails yet but I've been riding it around my yard and it runs great!

Thanks again. If anyone is near tampa and needs work done on there quad give him a call.  :ThumbsUp.gif

This is my friends quad. I believe its 230cc or 250cc I'm not sure. Anyway its an off brand quad but we cant figure out what brand it is. There aren't any stickers what so ever or anything to indicate the brand name. If someone know anything about this quad please let me know. We're trying to find parts.

Great links. how close are tellico and brown mountain to blairsville? Any trails you recommend?

What size bed does the pick up have? I have an 8' bed and I carry 1 Yamaha Bruin 4x4 and 1 Yamaha Warrior in the bed just driven straight in. I have a bed extender and I run a sheet of 3/4 plywood over the bed extender into the bed. I run the heavier bike in first then put the lighter bike on the bed extender, I'll have pics up tomorrow because I'm taking both bikes this weekend so they'll both be loaded. I made my bed extender and hitch basket with heavy wall 1/4" thick steel but I know people who use the cheapy Harbor Freight bed extender with no trouble.

great if you can post those pictures i'd be greatful

Do I need to drain the oil before hauling?

Turn the fuel off, make sure the tank isnt so full it leaks out the overflow (shouldnt). When you unload it just give it a couple minutes for the oil to settle down. Make sure its secure when transporting, of course.

I have done this with blasters, 400EX's, my banshee and even my LT-R450 which has a tip switch with 0 issues.

Ok thanks. Any way thats best for strapping it? I'm strapping two of them back there, 250ex's. I was thinking strap them from the grab bar in the back and have them facing frontwards

Anything worth checking out near blairsville ga?

What should I do? Empty the fluids? Any suggestions?

What is the biggest tire I can put on my rims. My front rims are 9 inches the back are 10 inches. I want to throw some huge mud tires. I have about a foot of clearance.

Any suggestions?

I have a 06-07 service manual...if you dont have one by tonight i can try to scan it and get it to you tommorrow...

Thanks,

I have the manual but I just need a picture of the engine. Like a detailed sketch. Do you have that?

Does anyone have an engine diagram for a honda 250ex?

I heard Obama wants to make some atv trails. Thats awsome! Any ideas when this will happen or where there trails will be located?
