r/ATV

I've recently got a 2001 Suzuki kingquad 300 with hydraulic drum brakes on the front. I have replaced both brake pistons and bled the system but the lever isn't very stiff. I only get engagement when I pull the lever 60% of the way, then when I pull it all the way the wheels lock up.

Is this how it's supposed to be? I'm new to ATV's and would appreciate any insight

To give some context im 20 years old and looking to switch from my grizzly 700 to a race quad thats more nimble. I ride trails and the local track in town, so i need something capable of ripping it up in both conditions. Ive been riding dirtbikes, and quads since I was 10, and moved up to a gsxr 600 when I got my bike permit at 17. Anyways was wondering if yall had some input on the yfz, common issues, versatility, reliability, etc. I would be using it more for trail riding rather than track, but I would like something that can do both. Suggestions and feedback would be appreciated. Thanks yall

Like the title says, gonna sell my 2017 Outlander 650XT.

Question I have, is there anything buyers are looking for on these? This one has been used to drive up and down our driveway and otherwise on the property, but not really used like it was meant to be, hauling butt. The honda is a better fit for my use case.

I was riding the other day with no issues when all the sudden it started making a loud clicking noise in first gear and would hardly accelerate, if at all. I noticed the chain getting stuck/jumping when trying to accelerate. I rode in reverse all the way home no problem.

Could it just be an issue with the sprockets and chain or something deeper, like clutch or transmission? The clicking noise sounded like it could be internal and not just the chain jumping.

I got this ATV (Kawasaki Brute Force 300) from 2018 with only 600 miles on it, but its been neglected its whole life :(

I want to get this thing good as new but I have very little experience working with ATV's. I got running before Winter, but didn't get a chance to ride it throughout Winter so it has been sitting for another 4 months.

Before winter I changed all the fluids, took apart and cleaned the carburetor, new battery, air filter, spark plug.

Now I plan on cleaning the carb again because I was lazy and let it sit with the same gas all Winter, greasing all the suspension components, and doing this sea foam treatment I've heard of to clean out the engine.

Is there anything else I'm not thinking about or that you could think of for general maintenance? and also is there anything special or extra I should do because it's been sitting for so long?

I have a 2008 Polaris outlaw 450MXR practically new, 65 hours. It’s bone stock, rebuilt carb and wired in a brighter light. I’m looking to turn it into a tried and true race bike but I can’t find a stage 3 cam shaft that’ll fit. It is a KTM 448cc, similar if not the same as the 07-12 KTM 450SXF. Please help if you can! Other parts suggestions to make this a bad ass bike are welcome!

A video my brother and I made of us jumping the gun on an early spring ride here in Ontario…

Machines in the video are a 2022 850 outlander (blue) and a 2021 650 outlander (camo). Although we probably should have had snowmobiles…

yay or nay?

Moving too Alaska soon. I want a sport four wheeler or snowmobile which is better and do y’all ride in big groups up there? Reposted because it was removed from the Alaska group.
