Just bought a low use 2017 Artic cat Alterra 500 TRV for my house in PA.  Never owned a quad before but had a blast on the roads and minor trails today in NEPA.  Back on Long Island where I live normally,  is not a place to have one of these.  After today I have a feeling I might be shopping for a second one for the wife!

I am from NEPA and own three Arctic Cats.

 

Had it on the trails here in the community put about 50 miles on it this weekend.  Think we will be looking for a second one.

Long island is tough to find riding. I was born on LI and have family there but now live up in Putnam county, which is also a bit tough but better for riding. Where in PA? Welcome to QC!

I keep it at a community called Masthope in Lackawaxen PA.  We are allowed to drive the streets and they have trails in spring and summer (in winter they are for cross country skiing.

Thats interesting in my state you can register it with a title they will take your money but you still can't ride it on the road legally. They said to be road worthy had to have DOT approved tires and seat belt so asked why do I not need a seat belt on my motorcycle he said because it has 2 wheels if it has 4 it needs a seat belt that's crazy. I think they make stuff up as they go along.

NY is the same.  In PA I can not ride it on state or county roads,  but the community is all private roads so if it is insured and titled to me,  I am allowed to use it on the roads in the community.

      I just bought a rare beast!
      By kawasig
      Hello All
      I'm kinda new to ATVs. I just bought a 1987 Suzuki quad runner 230 Dual Range. I'm having a problem finding info on it. It's very clean, only 2.800 miles. The front wheels are only 30 in.center to center. I was thinking about adding wheel spacers to give it more stability. I realize the added stress on ball joints and bearings. I'm wondering if there are any other concerns? Any input is greatly appreciated!

      Moto 4 350 low oil
      By P_syko
      Does the 1987 moto 4 350 have a low oil sensor that kills spark? Or are these too old for that kind of thing?

      1996 Polaris Sportsman 500 4x4 Issues with high gear
      By Sportsman500guy
      I bought a 1996 Sportsman 500 4x4 about a month ago, and I love it. Unfortunately, I've been experiencing a few problems with the high-range gear. The first problem is that the gear selector will intermittently pop out of high and into neutral. This problem will sometimes occur when starting from a stop and sometimes will also occur while at cruising speed. The last time this happened I stopped and put it back into gear, however, as soon as I tried to throttle the machine would die. I turned it on again with no problems put it back into high and it died again. Once again I turned it on with no problems put it into low instead and it worked fine with no problem. I drove in low down the road slowly for a little and then shifted back into high with no issues. 
         I plan on working on it this weekend and would just like some opinions or feedback from anyone who may have experienced these problems before. I'm very mechanically inclined but im unsure of exactly where to start as this is the first Polaris ATV that I've owned. Any feedback is appreciated and thanks in advance
