I appreciate everyone on this site for their Knowledge/Experiences/Help ect… For that, I’m redirecting the $100 prepaid Visa back to the site, & help keep the lights on. Congrats to all that won!! Cheers!

I tried the ratchet strap and have had success before, but it just didn’t work this time. And I have a healthy respect for anything flammable anymore, I was trying to start my big bear with ether one time and it backfired through the air box into my face. Singed off my eyelashes and part of my hairline. So I decided to pass on that option.

Congrats to our winner @Wheeler Our 2nd place @_Wilson_™ And a tie for 3rd place @Freedomflyer and @riverc Forum management will be in touch with all of you about getting prizes sent out! Thanks everyone for your participation!

Saw this posted elsewhere, and thought I would share here. Almost all of our Hondas use a YTX14-BS battery. Apparently Yuasa also makes this one, same size, quite a bit heavier, and more CCA. Also made in the USA. Pricier as well, but might be worth it if you run a lot of accessories. https://www.yuasabatteries.com/battery/gyz16h/

Ahem.... it's a $150 prepaid Visa, 50 bucks more than ya thought! :) Might be enough to keep your lights on.

using strap, if it leaks with it on, try bouncing the tire a couple times, strap must be 2 inch, and tight !.

I replaced mine last fall with the GYZ. Works great.

Ive done the same as jeep with starting fliud, and as he stated interesting, yet not very well advised.... haha

Hey BC, dont know if youve checked here, but just to give an idea check this thread out...im a cmp guy myself cambridge metal and plastic made some realy good accessories at one time, i dont know if they still do, but ive managed to find some nos on ebay, one i looked for for the longest is the cmp tube bumper... its posted here as well, lots of old gold in this thread, thanks to the members here in this forums... @Goober is another great member but i cant get holt of him as of yet.

I've used them since that's what all the newer machines run.

@_Wilson_™ lol that paint ordeal will NEVER happen again! Not sure what I’ll do to the ole girl next. I want to possibly Raptor line the racks. But I feel like there isn’t much left to do but drive er hard! Lol. & maintain it! Haha. Thank you!

I usually pour a little gas into the tire, step back a good ways, and toss a match at the tire (valve stem removed!). That works, and is entertaining. I would not suggest anyone else try it. It's pretty stupid. But then again, I like doing stupid things.

a 2 inch ratchet strap wrapped around the center of the tire, tighten it down, tire bead will seat easy when you air the tire up, been doing it this way for many yrs, never had a tire beat me yet !.

Got the tires mounted up today. I broke the old ones down and mounted them new ones myself, old school with tire irons lol. Not terrible, but not the most fun I’ve ever had. I couldn’t get the bead to seat on either one no matter what trick I tried. I ended up going to the local tire shop and paid them $10 to seat the bead. Got them back home and mounted up, and I’m happy with them. They have more of an old school look to them. They also seem to be taller than the mudlites even though they’re both 24” tires on the sidewall. I’m definitely going to look for some M977’s for the front. If anyone out there is close to Hickory and wants to trade 2 front Maxxis tires for my 4 mudlites, let me know.

My small add lol! .... stay way clear of Haynes and clymers manuals... lol! Go for the real McCoy...as Shade recommended.
