Thanks trailrider. I'm a lot owner there too. I just like to give Steve a hard time. How about a head count? I'll bring 6 bikes and 8 people possible. Live action. Turtle man. Lol

Damn just went out to the garage this morning and found diff fluid all on the floor looks like its leaking from a rear axle seal but seems no one can get it to me till next week has anyone used any kind of leak sealer before and does it work i dont want to miss this ride so i need a temp fix any ideas?

ya deff the axle seal just got off the phone with a dealer in stuart fl that showed having 6 now they cant find any but if they do they will ship it to me tonight so i'll have it tomorrow if not ill just fill it up right befor i go out and hope it will be ok.

No worries TJ!!! We'll figure something out after the RNC is over. Stay safe bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


If you can't get it fixed Carlos we can take breaks to check it while we ride.  Bring some extra
fluid & what you need to fill it.

well finally found a place in georgia that had it in stock so i had them over night it so i should be good to go ;D

See you there. You coming with SMP?

Hopefully I can make it out and try out these new tires on the ole 400

Thanks Steve I had a great time out there today.  It was a pleasure meeting and riding with every one today. Looking forward to riding with every one again.  Maybe TJ will even ride with us...

I took some good Video today.  Will edit it and get it up on YouTube as soon as I can..  Also got some good video of some one doing the Banana Spider dance LOL..   

Banana Spider dance rolback1 rolback1 Please don't edit that out. Wish I could of seen it happen.

Hell yes Merle after Sept 22nd my Sundays will be open.   <nanaparty>

Well then TJ it sounds like we need to plan a ride for Sept. 30th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We can ride Saturdays too.

Ordered my control arm last night. $18.50 to the door 8). It will be here by thurs.

That's cool and a great price u can't beat that

No doubt, great price & delivered!!! I thought for sure it would cost more.

Is there anything I can do to make my 400 spin the tires a Lil more just didn't feel like it wanted to turn them

Lol as soon as I got home I was researching the same thing so far I found as far as just bolt on stuff is exhaust and jet kit

Yeah that's about all I have found but I have not really found any exhaust kits for mine

A clutch kit, UNI air filter, carb jet kit & a full exaust kit (from the motor back).  The easiest would be to go to a heavier spring in the primary clutch (driven clutch) to start with.  

How hard is it to put in a clutch I have never done it

When you find out let me know.. lol  I was looking at clutch kits today for mine..  So far i think the heelclicker is what i would like to go with. I want to raise mine and put bigger tires on it. If any one has any suggestions on a good clutch kit and lift kit let me/us know.

Any one know a good place to get tires (cheap)? 

Just in case any one is interested here are some interesting information on our ride.  We rode an average of 9 miles ( millage will vary according to how many times each rider played/spun their tires in the mud LOL) Highest point of the ride was 96 feet and the lowest was 83 feet..  our ride lasted approximately four and a half hours.

Fun was had by every one.. LOL

Ready to do it again..

Check out this link & it will explain how a CVT drive works!!

Maybe it's just me.. but the links don't work for me..


Ok now the link works

Lets do it...    ;D

Got the link to work ;D 8)

Me too. Used off ebay.


Let us know when the video is up please.

I was looking at epi clutch springs what would be a good one to go with  lbs wise

Merle from what I've read on www.polarisatvforums.com (http://www.polarisatvforums.com) putting a lift kit on is hard on the cv's & axils, it increases the angle of the axil to the cv joint & causes breakage.  As far as clutch kits go allot of people just go to a heavier spring in the primary clutch, cost is like around $25.
Dalton Industies will sell just the spring & also the full clutch kits.

I will but it will be a few days  as there is over 4 hours of video to edit...

I would call them & tell them what your riding & they will suggest the propper spring!!!!

Well shucks.. It isn't worth buying new tires to get a half and inch in height.  With out the lift kit i am limited to 26 inch tires..  Guess i'll just stay with what i have until they wear out then get the 26 inch tires.

Thanks for the info on the clutch springs i'll check it out..

My new control arm came in today! Hope to ride again soon.
