General ATV Discussion

Thanks, I was trying to save a couple of bucks, but in the long run it's costing more !

it truly boggles my one brain cell, trying to figure out why atv owners who ride an utility atv, want to '' get that one extra hp '' ?!..lol. you can only get so much from these machines, after that..its all over but the crying. soo..bottom line: don't bother trying to get 100 hp from an engine that is designed to give you 10 hp..lol.

oem all the way, stay far...far away from any after market parts, when you can get oem. if and when it comes time where we can't get oem anymore ?, then i will use china junk ( we won't have a choice ), until then, i will use oem all the way !. just ask jeep69 what he went through awhile back when he tried using a after market head gasket ?!!..lol.

01 Forman Rubicon 500, had coolant in oil, so I tore it down, the cam lobes where chewed up picked up a used one, cam chain was also garbage, water pump bearing was toast. So while in there I replaced the rings, got it all back together and runs good, except I forgot to check the head if it's warped! Needless to say coolant is seeping out on the lowest side of head when running. So what's a good head gasket? I used a after market one

Battery load test was good + full charge. Have not adjusted clutch. I ordered an O.E.M. angle sensor But will look up how to adjust clutch before installing sensor.   Steve
