Ok...so wheres this pet/valve/gasket/drain thingy at? There is no hose at the bottom of my gas tank to drain the gas....and I can't turn it upside down and shake it
Its a 2004 Honda Sportrax if that helps. Maybe one of you can tell me where the gas drainer thingy is
I know I may sound like a dumbass...but I ain't been riding as long as most of you...so be gentle lol

Ok...I called up Rusty Palmers...where I bought my quad....they said as long as the bike starts up and runs on reserve its ok and nothings wrong....he said if the tank is half full it'll do that. Said I didn't need to drain the gas as long as it runs fine on reserve. Does that sound ok? Or ya think I should bring it to a local shop? I can't figure out how to drain it....and the hubby knows less than I do about quads

Figured I'd ask here before I bring her to a shop
Ok....so I'm having a real hard time starting my quad up
I just got it tuned up in September before I left New York....changed the oil and all that
I haven't ridden it much since I've been here....3 or 4 times to a *real* place...and just maybe once a week thru my developement (so yes...I've been starting her up at least once a week)
It starts up when I have the gas dial on reserve....but when I put it to on, it won't start. Yes...there seems to be plenty of gas in the tank still...I can see it.
I thought maybe I just needed to warm it up....so I rode it a bit on reserve....but then when I switched it to on, it stalled
Can it be the gas is old? I'd drain it but I can't find where to drain it from....and its just a lil bit heavy for me to hold upside down to drain it lol
Any help ya'll can offer would be greatly appreciated
~Ditto~

Ok...so lots of you use your gararge (and I must admit I like the idea of not tracking all the dirt thru the front door) BUT I agree with Cain...anyone with a universal remote can open your gararge door...unless you have the power turned off or a bar in the track. Thats how we keep ours locked now SO...how would you get in the gararge if you can't open it from the outside? You'd have to go thru the front door...which is why I want one by the front door. I'm not about to try to run into the gararge and shut the alarm off in time lol So I guess I win!

I know this isn't an ATV post...but its a Florida post so here goes: How many of you have your alarm keypads in your gararge and not your front door? My husband insists that people in Florida don't come in thru their front doors...that they ALL come in thru their gararges. I personally prefer to come in thru the front door and therefore want the keypad by the front door.Am I being unrealistic?

I had never ridden alone....the one time I DID go for just a *quick ride* while my hubby went to pick up my ridin buddy of course sumpthin has to happen
I was riding along just enjoyin the wind in my face and the splashin of the muddy water when out of nowhere this treee stump appears...I slam into it and I fly off my quad right onto my shoulder.....more like bounced I should say
I was about 3/4 of a mile into the woods and then a few blocks away from the guys house we were hanging at
So I try to get back on and ride home...it hurt SO much...and its my right shoulder and the gas is on the right side so that didn't work out too good. But first I had to turn it around...so here I am trying to lift this freakin thing to turn it around cause I couldn't drive it and I'm screamin like a lunitic from the pain. So I finally turn it around, start ridin reallllll slow cause I was leaning over pressing the gas with my left hand and trying not to fall off or pass out.
I wind up by passing the spot that led out of the woods....so I had to pull the darn thing back to the exit.....then push it up the hill cause I couldn't gas it up enough to make it over
So its been like an hour or so now since I crashed...I finally get onto the street....covered in mudd and blood..my arm is all cut up...face all streaked with dirt and tears,,,and I have a few blocks in the street til I get to Pauls. All these people are passing me in cars...ya THINK anyone stops??? You could tell I was hurt.
So I finally get to the corner...and I have to make a left...theres a van that needs to turn so I'm sitting and waiting for him to go so I could turn. His wife was driving and he says to her *go around her...she don't know what the hell shes doing* So his wife says to him...(guess it takes a woman to pick up CLUES), she goes, no...look at her...shes in pain. So they get out and ask if I need help....I was like uhhh yes please...I think my shoulders broken.
So her hubby rode my quad and she drove me to Pauls house where hubby was grilling...they see this strange guy riding up on my quad and they're all like wtf? So then I get out of the van and my hubby takes a look at me and starts yelling at me cause he hates me riding and he knew that I'd get hurt. Anyways...moral of the story....don't ride alone
