When i get the swingarm off Ill look into it, and depending on the time I have, and toold I have, I might give it a try, or I might just pack it good and grease em up every 2 weeks or so..

Well today, I finally got to starting the hood, I had some window screen metal mesh type stuff laying around, and I made a template and fit the screen around it, and put another piece of screen around that, doubleing up on it, and stapling it together. I might add another layer tomarrow, as it still bends a little bit, but for now I am satisfied with my handy work. Tomarrow I have to make a template for the second half ( I only did the flat part for now, 13" up from the front of the fenders), and the second half will have a hump in it for the wires that run down under the hood.. Heres a quick pic of it mounted... Let me know what you think.

not bad. When you get the top done I would take them both off, prime 'em and spray paint them. Might make it look beter.

yeah i have thought about that already. If I like the looks enough, I might go to home depot and get some sturdier thicker mesh and make a hood out of that, for more durability.

No updates yet, just a question or two.. I took it on a road ride the other day into the next town to get a friend, I was cruising in 4th ( dont like to be an a-hole on the streets) and it seemed like the front end was shaking, like not enough to effect it, but it was kindof noticable, could that be anything major, or is it just like a bent front rim/ unblaneced tire? Just figured I would ask and make sure there is nothing seriousy wrong with it.

another question.. Do you think I could trade this for a decent dual sport bike? My landlord is getting strict about the ATV's, and because to get to where I ride theres a bit of road riding, and tight trails where the LT has a hard time getting in/out of ( its made for bikes mainly) so anyone know if i could get a decent dual sport bike for this beast. Im just throwing it out there right now, and if any offers come Ill highly consider them.. let me know please..

The front might be loose lug nuts, bent rim or even a bad bearing (they seem to go bad fast in a quadsport, mine are already in need of a grease packing).

**New2ATC** · 02-12-2006, 01:28 AM

the wheels are tight on there though, only movment is really in the tire sidewall.. Im thinking i bent the rim a little bit and only notice it on road..

**New2ATC** · 02-12-2006, 03:21 PM

just got in from some snow riding... no pics ( gonna try and get some later) but its the biggest storm weve had sinc e ive had the Lt and i couldnt pass it up.. Still need swingarm bearings though, but im not jumping it, just sliding it around turns and doing 180's and all.. fun..

Where do you live? We got screwed over here in the north (unless you live on the coast of course).

**Rm250RF900R** · 02-12-2006, 05:34 PM

We just got 16 inches of fresh powder

**New2ATC** · 02-13-2006, 01:21 PM

Im over in east CT.. We got quite a bit of the white stuff here.. rode the LT all around town because the roads were frozen... quite fun...

Okay new dilemma.. lol.. anyone know how to change a schrader valve on an atv rim? if so whats the difficulty in getting the old one ont and sealing the new one in good? I hit a rock and put a flat spot in my rim, causing it to leak, and after beating it with a

( I know its not the correct way but i had to get it back home) and putting some free gas station air in it, the wheel leak stopped, but the valve hisses now. i was able to ride it for a good hour and a half and it was good, but i know it leaks, and i want to fix it. Would a can of fix a flat do the trick for now untill i get new tires? or can I just tighten the needle in the valve? Any help or links would be great.

**New2ATC** · 02-16-2006, 03:33 PM

I threw some fix a flat in it for now, it will hold untill I get new tires.

**Tri-ZNate** · 02-16-2006, 06:21 PM

Yeah tighten the little *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**E dited* up. I had to do that on my quadsport too.
