Slapped a leaner needle in my R - but still have to run it on the leanest setting. Damn.

Traded a trike. Then when I got home I hooked a buddies heavyduty lawn roller to my big red and rolled my little pasture

Pushed it back so I could get into my toolbox and do some work in the house. Tomorrow two of the trikes are getting TLC.

Oh yeah... X man made it up the hill just fine! They are all excellent riders on modern 450R style ATV's of various manufacturers. I'm the odd ball of the group

sat. we went ridin for a good 2 hours or so. the neibore guy who's 2 blocks over and has the woods behiund him we ride at has some cheapo chinese quads. i fixed 2 of them so they coudl ride and one was a kiddie 50cc. my son had never ridden anything like that before, he has a sitting area where in front you can view about a 150ft dirt oval where the kids can learn to ride and use throttle control. my son spend about an hr just doing circles cause we were teaching him throttle control and how to sue the brakes correctly. by that time he had it down pat! in the middle of it are 4 small trees and some flat rocks that minda stick up and a stump or two. he started workong on manovering through the trees, over the rocks and stumps on his own. he naturally woudl roll up to the rocks, roll the fronts voer and slowly and easy tap the throttle to get the back tires over the step and he was off and going again! i was apaized at how easly he learned on his own! we didn't teach him that! the atv had died a coupel of times on him and he watched me start it. the enxt time it dies, he started it himself. i was like WOW he's too smart! He learned by just watching! It's exciting to see your kids not only learnign but having a blast while doing it. over all was a very fun day. the neibor guy and his older son (whos's cheapo quad kept having issues) took turns ridin my red and they are gettin hooked on trikes. haha he's saying he's liking it more and more. the kdi loves it he says compaired to his quad. more power but it's more of a fun ride than jsut sitting and turning. (which is what i have always preached) the quads had slight issues throughout the day, but the red has not a single hickup even with abotu 2 hours of running time solid on it. they have a big kawa 4x4 quad 360 model that was getting a bit warm and they had to turn off every so often. not the red. it's be left ideling while we were eating and what not.

Just put a 200x front end on my 82R. Love it!!

**Mackee** · 03-13-2009, 08:35 PM

Disassembled and clleaned the carb. I had a new float bowl gasket cut at my Yami dealer. I will be putting the carb back together tomorrow and hope she cranks. If she fires up, this will be her final run before she gets torn down (if there aren't any more issues).

Put the 250R fender on the front of the 200x, replacing the pink maier vented fender. Pulled the rear wheels off to replace with the 18" turf tamers supposedly on 4x110 wheels I got off ebay. They don't fit, going to have to go tomorrow and have the turf tamers put on the 200x wheels. Replaced the whole brake system on the 200X. It now has rear brakes.

I'm excited.

Now if I win the Bassani exhaust on Ebay. I'll be stoked and the wife will ride the 200X. As soon as I get the thumb throttle on there.

I got the stator cover to remove the Goki starter monstrosity off the side. I'm afraid of what I'm going to find underneath it. I know a toothed gear is pressed on to something. I will have to remove that. Then it will be whole again. woot woot!!

Today I took my 200m out for a drive around the yard. I realized that I can now stay on top of the snow where I haven't had a trail at all this winter. I took some pics while I had my trike going. The piece of wood sticking up I about 5 feet long, and only 2 1/2 feet is sticking up.

today for my 84 atc 70 i wrapped the custom seat i made because i stretched the frame 2 inches and kept the gas tank tight to the front. i also painted the foot pegs after fabing a foot brake for the little machine. i cant wait til its on the trails!!

Worked on the rear swing arm on my 250SX, doing a little overhaul, did the tear down a few weeks ago. Bead blasted all the parts, bought a powder coat set-up from Eastwood, got a free oven and started to powder my own parts. Super stoked about the PC, still figuring things out but I have been very happy with how it's going. Just did an assembly to see how it all looks together, still need a bearing and seal kit for the diff and a few other odds and ends. With how the swingarm assembly looks I feel bad about putting it on the old beast, but eventually I'll get to the rest. Also got some of the Evapo-Rust some of the guys have been talking about---that stuff is da bomb, eats the rust right off of the hardware. I wish I would have know about it years ago!
