LOL waiting for that service location to give me a call and go over stuff. Depending on that conversation determines what gets done now or later.

just do it urself. there's enough knowledge here to help u along

TXTee · 05-19-2011, 02:21 PM

Would love to but #1 no tools, #2 time....all of it sounds and looks like simple things but I'm not home to order/pick up parts/supplies. I'll spend 8 - 12 hrs on the road over the weekends and I can't just break the ATV down in the hotel parking lot...LOL...that would be funny though! Only going to do what won't tear it up so I can go ride at Busco Beach with the Carolina crew next weekend. Glide might walk me through the oil change and diff fluids........

wydglide · 05-19-2011, 03:41 PM

I can change the oils that no biggie & the rest of the stuff well......theirs no getting parts or time to get it done before she has to scoot outta here!

They have to order everything here!

TXTee · 05-19-2011, 04:49 PM

Whatever you walk me through, I'll do. I got time to get parts after Busco and come back out that way before HF2.

wydglide · 05-19-2011, 07:13 PM

Wow! Now that's what you call giving an update. Thanks, Glide. How is the air filter considering I'm in muck and never done anything to it? Spark plug? Those are the other two areas I planned to have checked quickly.

Seeing as no return call from the Charlotte dealership, they have a 5% chance of regaining my attention if I even hear from them some time tomorrow. I only wanted a rough estimate of time/labor involved in the list I gave them.

Will add steering check to the list. That dang tree! It really changed a lot after that incident and I don't think my mechanic checked the bike out thoroughly enough.

as we talked about buy a new Honda filter for $11 their pre-oiled takes 2-3 mins to change out, no need to fool with after market filters....just a pain & Twice as expensive & No proven Gain in Horse Power (well none Ive actually seen to date) besides your Quad has a LOT of power as it is now, Spending money to build more is a waste of Cash! (personal opinion)

I'm bringing Bug out there.

TXTee · 05-19-2011, 10:37 PM

Kinda difficult to locate dealers on the commute route but will see what I can do. Worst case, I can find it in Charlotte next week and install that easily. Might pick up the spark plug too.
