    It started first pull!

    My 1985 Honda ATC 125m started first pull today! Definately a HONDA. Its is the first time even touching it since my 350X was stolen 2 days before new years day. It feels so good to do wheelies on it again. I have once done a wheelie on it the length of a football field if not longer. I would of been able to go longer but the trees got in the way. Well this weekand I go riding with a 3 wheeler again.

    Where ya riding this weekend?? Still wish your X would show up in Middleboro but it's not looking good. That kid you mentioned must've done it but you gotta get more on him. All my neighbors watch our stuff and call the cops at the least bit of suspicion taking plate numbers down. There's a group of Halifax thiefs from what I've been told. My neighbors an armed guard for US diplomats and very good at surveilance .

    Glad you've got another trike, lock it, alarm it and don't ever leave it anywhere with anyone except the only person you can trust - youself!

    If there is anyone on our property, our dogs go crazy. I'll get up, grab my shotgun and point it out my window. Its a straight shot from my room to the garage. Good luck with finding your X..

    I had a (suposed)friend come over on a thursday and saturday nite he came over and stole my big red.Him and his brother used a golf cart to tow it away.They also robbed a couple house's the same way.The golf cart is quiet.Because I live on a farm the big red was covered like a farm vehicle.Unless you insure your atv's insurance won't cover them.About my story sometime's your friend's are your worst enemy.Check to see if any have cabin's where they can store your 350x.

    Why does the 125 pop out of gear sometimes. Any way to fix it?

    I am willing to bet the problem here is caused by a broken "Stopper Pawl". It's not a real hard fix either. Basically it takes the right side case and a few other parts removed and then you can get to it. Normally it's a 1 to 1 1/2 hr fix. I can get pictures if needed. If you have a clymers manual I can point you to the pages that will help.

    My 84 200m is the worst thing to start ever.the electric start only works when the bike is cold, and even then, it rarely works. the pull start is also very stubborn.... maybe when i get it re-wired (still looking for help on that one), it might start easier.

    A weak stator is the most likely cause here.

    My 185S ALWAYS starts on the first pull. Very rarley will it take two. My 200E on the other hand, dosent run the greatist, but I'm pretty sure it needs a carb clean-up.
