As stated in my thread about selling my 2016 bike to the old man, I picked up a three wheeler to fill the void..

This will get me back into my property and through hunting season... And pure utility in the bush..


I got a great deal on it as it didn't want to run right and sounded a little "clackity" in the engine.. Just like all the rest I've bought...lol...

I don't think the seller had much knowledge of bikes, as I could see the idle mixture screw sitting on top of the trans casing...lol..

He wanted a grand... I paid half...

One new idle mixture screw, spring, washer ans O-ring later... Runs like a Honda again...

I adjusted the valves to rid it of the clackity clack... And adjusted the timing chain... And did a whole bunch of other stuff.. Like the rear gear oil and multiple oil changes to purge whatever junk someone else was using... I prefer Yamalube ATV oil...

New battery and new front bearing and tire....

Also a custom muffler job... OEM copies are to much... So I made a lil' silencer tube...

And I'm done for now I think...

I gotta say I think this baby is a keeper..

Drained the oil a few times and its pretty clean...

I'm running the Yamalube through it and it likes it... Its shifting great..

Also drained and refilled the rear gear oil again... Just trying to get anything out that shouldn't be in there like moisture..


I'm also on the hunt for another quad.. I don't know what, but something...

I'd love to find an old 350 4x4... But it'll be a ton of work!

I carry cash in my wallet all the time hoping to run into something like that, great score and hope to secure one as well...
