    The shock thats on it seems pretty good and dosn't really have any sag. Strange that It would sit that low from the factory. I guess thats why they changed it for 2000. Couldn't I put the 10.5" on the '99?

    Here's a pic of the filter that's on it. It looks like its a k&n but when I checked the k&n web site it says that there is no inner wire. The one that I have has an inner wire. ??? I wish I was more familiar with this type of filter but I've always used UNI.

    Is it a concentric drive?.

    No, the shock locations are different and since theres no linkage to take up the adjustment, it won't fit. It would be nice because the 10.5" is a dual rate spring - but - it won't fit without modifications. Heres a pic or two of mine. Some of them are from before I mounted the AAEN pipe.

    If that's meant for me, yes. The one I've got is spongy as hell. I've adjusted it more than half-way up and it still sits like it's riding up hill.

    Great deal you got there. My friend has the exact quad. But be careful if you go thruogh Hot Seat Performance. My friend spent $1600.00+ on a kit. He had nothing but problems from them. The race porting was nothing but an atemp to fluff and buff. Not to mention they sent the new pipe not chrome plated. They sent a new one 3 weeks later but the finish was very poor. Just a word of advice " BE Careful."

    Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. But the first thing I have to do is keep it from overheating. every time I take it out it over heats. "???" I've checked everything and still cant figure it out. It pumps good, the radiator appears to be clean, fan works, blead all the air out of the system and it still over heats. As soon as it's started it starts pissing coolant out of the overflow cap from the pressure building up. I'm guessing that the radiator is clogged up somewhere inside. I think the guy who owned it before me had well water and maybe there is calcium built up and the coolant is flowing directly across the top of the radiator. I'm starting to get frustrated. I'm running out of things to check.

    wicked,

    it plows like a bat out of hades!

    just kidding, actually it works well. the clutching helps so that the belt doesn't slip. it does not even move till about 3200 rpm, so there is no lugging on the motor. also, because of the extra weight of the 4 wheel drive, alot of the hp is wasted. the shafts are always turning.

    still surprises plenty of people out of the hole.

    we should hook up to ride, i ride in pa often. usually off I-81

    last time i went, i had it buried in a muhole past the tires. after an hour of digging i got pulled out by a grizzly.

    If it's boiling over as soon as you start it, run a pressure check on the coolant system. If the pressure drops and you don't see any leaks. Your head gasket is most likely leaking. If it stays steady, back flush the radiators. Hope this helps.

    I bet your right about the head gasket. That would explain the unusually fast buildup of pressure. I noticed yesterday that one of the head bolts was a little wet. So, the head gasket is definitely on the "to do" list. Thanks!
