Hello from southeast Georgia. Was gifted a 2000 Yamaha bear tracker with out a carb or battery and looking like it had seen better days. Was told it had sat for about three years. Explained a lot. Put a carb on and a battery in and it started right up. Surprised the heck out of me Anyhow as stated in my opening I am 78 years old with a very long motorcycle backgground but brand new to atv's. Anyone else out here from Georgia? Would like to meet up with some folks for a ride or two. Looks like a great site. Thanks for having me. Don

I am in upstate NY looking for anyone in the area who is looking to hit the trails! we love to camp and take out ATVs as a family. Wife, 2 boys and a baby! 29 years old

Hey all, Thanks for having me in the forum. I just purchased my first ATV and am stoked to understand more about it. The first stupid question will be, what is everyone's maintenance schedule? DO yo follow the recommended intervals or build one yourself based on the machine. Thanks in advance.

Hi buddies, Newb from Cali here. Looking to hunt a few projects if I can cheers [emoji482]

Not the first time I heard that pcdoc! Lol. Thank You All for the Welcome! I just got into Quads about 6 months ago. I just bought My second one and I think I only need two more!!! My Wife thinks I have a problem with these things! But I know The Fine People here will understand!!

Visited Michigan many times, used to have family there near Battlecreek.

Mid- Michigan, where the the men are men, the women are scarce and the sheep are scared? LOL Just kidding, Welcome!

Yes, I'm new hear from mid Michigan.

Hey all, I'm in CO, I build a lot of custom and weird post apocalyptic role play Max Max type vehicles.

Very sorry to hear that, good your up walking thats the besst medicine, keep moving. Look forward to working with you on your project, keep us informed on your progress.

Thanks. Yep it looks like a wonderful site. No more motorcycles for me. Over the last winter I contracted a thing called Gillian Barre Syndrome that left me paralyzed. I am getting better every day but my balance is still off. Can't even walk right yet, but at least I am walking which is more than I could do 5 months ago so I'm a happy camper.

Good for you! Maintenance is the key to keeping them running for decades.

Awesome! I just inherited a 6x6 that has had no maintenance, figuring it out!

Hi everyone, I am new here. Thank you for having me

Thats great you got it going so easily, welcome,i think you will enjoy the site, any problems we are here to help. Bear tracker is a nice tough little quad easy to ride. I am also a motorcycle guy , as i have gotten older been doing more collecting and restoring than riding.

Hello Everyone! I'm new hear from mid Michigan.

Red Lake county Minnesota. I ride Suzuki LT185 and LT 125s. also a 1969 Action Age Scrambler six wheeler.

Welcome! From the sound of your post you are in the right place good friendly people here always willing to help.

hi keithandmoola joined today. thank you. I drive a Suzuki 185 1984version. Also have four Suzuki 125s. Two of them are drivable and two are in pieces to make one more someday in the future. i enjoy not having to get Minnesota tabs every year anymore and since they are out at the old farmstead all winter its handy not having to deal with batteries . They areold and require repairs so thats the main reason i joined. I have some manuals but nothing better than a place to pose problems and questions. Started with one twenty years ago and added the others as grandkids got big enough to ride and the wheelers are small enough that roll overs arent deadly.

It's been a long time since I have used a forum, I was the admin of one for quite a few years, had thousands of daily active members, with lots of crazy posts and spammers, so I salute the admins. Anyway, just waving my greasy hands, Hopefully I can help others out.

It wasn't ATV related, it was related to a long running local television show here in Ohio (movie host) and I owned and operated the website/forum, eventually I stepped down and handed the keys away. It was quite a time consuming thing. lol...I used to get calls in the middle of the night from moderators because spammers were posting hundreds of threads. I had enough of that, was fun though.

I live in NE Ohio, have been working with small engines for well over 30+ years and still learning. 😁

Hello from Romania! Can't believe this topic is from 2009 .... didn't see it till now. I don't own a quad till now... just love to fix them 😁 and fund a lot of help here, great people here from allover the world 🌎🌍.

The bayou 220 is a nice ride, i like them a lot, light powerful and easy to handle. Fun to ride.

Elgin, SC Working on getting an old Bayou 220 going for my kids.

Been around for forever but we are a shop in northern virginia

I'm up 30 miles East of Fargo ND. I have a 2000 Arctic Cat 300 and a 500 with a busted output gear. Neighbor has a bunch of Honda Big Red three wheelers I work on.

We try to go by the maintenance schedules, but also recommend at least once a year oil changes and then depending on what the atv is used for more frequent services on other components as needed

Welcome and good wrenching, sounds like a fun project. Its always interesting picking up where others left off.

Hello from Bristol Va!! Retired combat vet who is just too darn worn out to keep hiking to the top of the hills here, so I grabbed a fakebook marketplace 800 buck 2001 Bombardier Quest 650 that needed fixed up from all the "fix'n" the prior owner did. UGH!! I plan to use it as a workhorse in my woods and pastures and take it exploring in the National forests and state parks around here. Be seeing ya' around, Mike
