That doesn't sound like a bad idea! He used to make a living off of craigslist, so he knows how it is to have **** like that happen to him. I will get a kick out of it
Well he sent me a number saying his wife ran my name and it shows I had a warrant for failure to appear for jury duty ... said there was a number to call to take care of it and gave it to me. I called the number and it was a recording talking about 30 days jail or $500 fine and that I could set...
Lately I have been hit with some bad luck. It all Started with the R.
Took the R out, wouldn't start
Got pulled over by the DNR after, got a ticket
Got a phony text about a warrant, turned out to be a joke (I left work for this, that's why it's bad luck ..)
Went to the bank only to find out my...
Positive thoughts! And if possible, when falling crouch down and tumble backwards (I think that would make the fall a little more graceful?)
Good luck man!
yeah it's nothing major, just inconveniences really.
As far as the carrier goes, that'd be my guess. Bearings don't like temperatures changing rapidly .. lol
that's what I don't want to part it out. It's a very time consuming process, and people just don't come through a lot of the time. I will give it a month, and if it's not sold as it sits I will take the engine out of it and start tearing into it. It's been a hell of a 48 hours for me...
I have a few different routes I could go.
Sell it outright not running
Part it out
Tear into it, rebuild it, make it faster.
I really like the last option, because I get so much enjoyment out of it when I actually get to ride it, but the problem is I never have time to ride it or a local...
Ironically enough, someone text me today about it. The ad is still up on Craigslist. I told him the deal, and that I would part with it for $3500 not running. Told him what was wrong with it. He actually might come pick it up.
I don't know for sure, but I do know that no one wants to buy a 450 with a bad motor..
I figure I mine as well put some time into it and get it how I want it. I'm so on the fence about if I really want to sell it or not.
Tell me about it. If I get out of work early enough tomorrow and have the energy, I might rip the motor out and get it on the bench. I figure while I'm at it, mine as well throw another piston in it and send the head out to get some work done, new valves and port work.
I want to give a big thank you to Baileyguns!
I didn't get the quad running, but he took time out of his day to share some information with me.
While in the process of checking my valves, I realized a bunch of brass shavings sitting on the head. I didn't bother going any further with it, nor...
I might take you up on that. I'm going to go fiddle with it, take the carb out and check it and see what happens. I will be PMing you tonight about this probably.
Well... Fresh plug in the quad and it's not starting. I have compression, I'm getting fuel.. but I never checked for spark. I was thinking it might be my tether, so I took it out of the equation and still nothing. I'm goin to let it sit over night and dry out, and tomorrow evening I will check...
Yeah they are a bad ass looking quad, and their performance is insane, but I hear they are piles of junk. Can-am's frames are weak, and have been recalled I believe. My buddy has an outlander and it's always breaking down. If the price tag wasn't so damn high, and they didn't have the issues...
I bought a new plug today. Not a bad price either @ 17$. Hell, the last one I bought was like $40!. I have it on the tender, I'll give it a whirl tomorrow and see how it goes. I think I'm leaning towards selling it. Just had a buddy decide to put up his 2007 Honda Rincon 680 today!
Yeah Me too. If it's something serious, it will be put on the back burner and I will buy a 4x4. I love the quad to death, but the little that I actually get to ride it I don't want to sink more money into it.
I manage to get around pretty well with out a sway bar, but I wouldn't mind getting one.
Today was a bad day for the R. Not sure exactly what happened, but 10 mins into riding today I cracked a wheelie and when I came down it shut down and would not start again. The good news is I still have...
