How many hours are on it ?

I've seen some atvs that were used on old fire roads and

On log roads that alot of miles but didn't have alot of hours

On them .. So u gotta look at both to figure out if it's gonna need

Alot of maintenance repairs in the near future

My 2009 is coming in for its 100 hour maintenance interval, it has 550 miles on it. At that rate i"d be expecting 1100 miles at 200 hours... and I thought I rode fast! I"ll have to start using my big boy thumb!

As to weather 3600 miles is a lot, my 1998 king quad has 3600 miles on it and it is on the lift right now. It wore the face and margin completely off the intake valve, needs outer rear wheel bearings and front wheel cylinders.

201 hours is not really that many hours ... I have an 03 650 Kawasaki prairie

And it has 1625 miles and 253 hours .... But I Do slow trail rides and pull a

Small trailer with fire wood and use it to Do any thing I need to

And I have raced it in cross country races in the IXCR and it's in great running

And riding shape .. I'll be changing the drive belt this spring for the

First time ...

So the hours on that machine are not bad .. The only thing I would

Be looking at are the wheel bearings and brakes to make shure

They are good ..

      Have you ever been on the trail and your tire valve goes bad. No way to break down the wheel and replace it. A lot of you probably know about this already i had heard of it but never used one. Just punch out the old one insert and tighten down the nut
       

       

       

       
      So far it has worked very well.

      Does anyone have a recommendation of a really Heavy Duty ATV cover. I have bought several and they do keep the water off somewhat, but they are very thin and do not contour with the shape very well and water pools up in the rack louvers. I think i may be looking for a heavy canvas one, if anyone has a recommendation it would be greatly appreciated.

      First thanks for any help guys, new to the forums and it's gotten me this far. I bought a 2001 bear tracker 250 for my family to get around the dirt bikes races. It wasn't running right and had a high idle. Previous owner thought it was a carb problem, so he ordered a new Zoom carb and new intake boot, but it still had the same high idle. ( I believe he had the throttle cable adjusted wrong, because it idled fine when I put it back together) So I tore down and cleaned the stock carb, and it started up and idled fine, but needed to have the choke 1/2 out to run.  I swapped to the new zoom carb and had the same issue. Choke half out bike ran ok. I played with the needle and the pilot screw with no change. ( bike did seem to be running rich though, but didn't get better when I tightened pilot screw or raised meddle) I Took it to the races and once I started bouncing around in the cattle fields the quad started cutting out real bad. It would barely run.  Sometimes it would run with choke off, sometimes choke 1/2, sometime choke full. I cleaned carb again, checked float level, and boots, no change still wouldn't run. Then suddenly it started running ok again.  This makes me believe it's an electrical issue rather then carb. I know there's no air leak, it's been checked, both carbs are clean( I've swapped them out a couple times, it starts up immediately and usually idles fine. But then bogs down/ or stutters under throttle. I saw the post on the guy who disconnected his rectifier and reconnected and suddenly it started working again, which lead me to believe it may be electrical and not carb.  So any advice on what I should check? Any way to test the CDI or rectifier?  Once again, I appreciate your help.
