the antifreeze before I changed it was blue but it had the slippery feel of antifreeze. I changed it today.

This is a Rhino clone, I'm not exactly sure what it cloned in but I read in another forum when trying to research before I ordered it that it was possibility an unused engine designed for Suzuki but I have no way of verifying that. I believe those lines are oil cooler lines, they connect to the engine near the oil filter. |

I was curious, because I just worked on a liquid cooled China quad that had orange coolant in it. Since I happened to have some premixed orange GM coolant handy, I used it after draining the old stuff out.

Those cooler lines are really nicely routed.

In that last photograph it appears there is a thermostat switch which turns on the radiator fans.

Here is the next fork in the road in my journey to the poorhouse. BMS specs the Pony as being 58 inches wide wheel to wheel. I had a 5 (60 inches) x 10 trailer but the rear wheels are actually 62". So I am now the proud ouwner of a 6'2" x 12 foot trailer.

I contacted 232 Motorsports today, a company who sells something similar to the Pony but by a different manufacturer about getting a silencer for the exhaust (this thing is loud when riding). The representative I talked to was very friendly and seemed knowledgeable about the Pony. He told me it had a Suzuki clone engine and that the exhaust was probably more of a Yamaha clone. He recommended a silencer made by silent rider. So now I'm trying to find info out about this silencer.

At this point I have heard nothing from the place where I purchased this and the Enduro about any rebate for having to rent a trailer and pick them up. I called the today but they were very busy and I couldn't talk to anybody who deals with my issues. I filled out a form 3 days ago requesting the missing bumper cover and splash shield and have not heard back from that as well. I also ordered a helmet from them and they sent the wrong one and supposed to be sending the right one, I'll update this when I find out more, I'm gonna email them.

Nice trailer. You may need to contact your credit card company if you don't hear back soon.

I agree with Allen on both points.

You'll be able to haul all of your China toys, between your truck and trailer.

Thanks everybody for the compliments on the trailer, I really didn't want to buy it, I thought I could make due with the old one for a while. When I got home from work tonight, there was a package containing the promised helmet on the porch.
