You are a lucky man to have such a pretty little helper.

Dave_D · 07-02-2014, 10:07 PM

Thanks Spud.

I unbolted the shock today and tryed the test. It still turns a bit. But I have nothing to compare it too so not sure if or how much in improved. Pics below

Dave, that strikes me as solved.

I doubt that you'll ever get that much articulation out of the front suspension, and I bet the front wheels don't turn at all within the range of the shocks.

Dave_D · 07-03-2014, 01:15 AM

I'll still report back after first ride. Should know right away

Dave

Dave_D · 07-20-2014, 03:01 AM

We finally took it for a ride today. Sorry for the delay
I spent quite a bit of time on it and I didn't feel or notice any bump steer
Wife says its 100 times better to and didn't feel it either.

Thanks for the update.

That's awesome! I'm definitely doing the "Dave D" mod to my 150.

Dave, if you create another post that just contains that specific mod, I'll add it to the ATV sticky. It's good info to pass along.

Will do. I'll start putting a step by step together and post it once I'm done

Been a while since I posted something about my china atv
So here goes

The tires I swapped onto the quad one of the rears had a broken valve stem
So I sent it to my brothers (he has access to a tire machine) and he swapped it out for me.

Today I was putting the tire back on and noticed something on the exhaust behind the fender

Closer

I fired it up and can't feel it leaking from the crack. I might weld it up I might leave it.
Or il just use exhaust off the parts quad.

I've also been fighting with the wires on the back of the ignition have to wiggle and bend them to get starter to engage.

Might order this up rather then try and fix

Price seems good lol

Dave

Weldangrind · 07-31-2014, 11:49 PM

I'd weld it up.

I installed tubes in my Beast to get rid of poor beads. Cheap and easy.

On my quads in past I run the tire till it's got like 5-6 plugs. Then give up and tube lol

Yea probably quickest and simplest repair.

My link never posted in last post

Looks plug and play for this application

Weldangrind · 08-01-2014, 01:39 AM

It might be, although I bought one that was wrong. NBD. Just carefully remove the terminals and correct them.

I installed tubes because I couldn't ride around the yard without popping a bead, and that was despite trying several different tire pressures.

Dave_D · 08-01-2014, 10:48 AM

That's a great idea. I completely over looked that idea
I have a 4 wire ignition I took off the xr80 I'll just use then

Thanks

Dave

As mentioned in my other posts. We took a bunch of toys out yesterday including the quad.
When we were leaving I tryed to ride the quad up the ramp into my truck. It couldn't do it. Truck was on flat ground
I load it this way at home all the time but our driveway slops down and our culdesac is level so I park truck on road and ramp goes onto driveway so the ramp is not steep at all

My question are they normaly this gutless or should I be fixing something
Cruising the loging roads it feels like it has great power

Thanks

Dave

It's a lot to ask of a 150cc CVT to carry a full grown man up a ramp into a truck. I push mine.
