Pics of my '03 Yamaha Big Bear and the "MudBug"

...just getting the hang of my digital camera. I hate the way it focuses though. In every single picture I took below, the machine was perfectly centered in the viewfinder. Oh well, its still a nice camera.

I love the Big Bears. This thing has some serious power, ground clearance, and suspension travel. The bad? It definately needs a 6th gear. It tops out way to fast..at 35 mph its screaming.

The "MudBug" ridgerunner is one of my favorites. It doesn't go fast, but its fun. 12 and a half horses modified for trail bashing, not cutting grass. BTW, the gray one is the good one. I run it with the hood off, I just put it on to keep the rain and snow off. The green one is for parts.

No, my handlebars don't move at all. The only real problems I've had with this thing is the valves. At about every 200 miles the valves are pinging and carrying on. I ordered the factory service manual and it doesn't give very good specs for them. Just between .02 - .04 on the intake and .06 - .08 on the exhaust (Which seems a little much). But anyway I did find out that they are supposed to be adjusted with the engine is cold, I've been warming mine up before I adjusted them so I think that might be the problem.
