I use petroleum jelly, which is pretty much vaseline but industrial. Smother electrical connectors, spark plug caps, leads and boots, battery terminals. It waterproofs things and prevents corrosion, and it never shrinks or hardens or gets leaks. My bikes go underwater.

Exposed metal and switches and things I sometimes spray with WD40 or an equivalent.

I've been using this as a dielectric for years as well as brake grease and pivot points and such. Trailer connections, spark plig boots. It's a lot cheaper and does the.same thing as dielectric grease.

      I recently read an article about restoring or at least improving the looks of faded and discolored plastic body parts. In the article it suggested using a 50/50 mixture of boiled linseed oil and paint thinner. You mix it up and apply it with a brush or rag to rub it in and remove the oxidation. I curious to find out if anyone has had experience with doing this and what was their short/long term results of doing so. I would hate to try it and find out that a few weeks/months down the road my plastic body parts self destruct.

      Anyone have bad experience with these clutch kits?  Looking to get one for an 80s quad that I have.

      I've been using Valvolene 10w 40 ATV oil but, it's like $8.00 a quart. Is that about the going rate? Or is there cheaper alternatives that would be suitable? Thanks

      Just wondering where you guy's an Gal's get your parts. I love buying OEM stuff but sometimes they just cost to darn much for what they are. I know, I know everybody needs to make a living but dang! $ 97.00 for brake pads on one side of the front of my KingQuad. There has got to be a better way.
