r/ATV

New to me 2005 Kawasaki Bayou. Absolutely love this thing, no cosmetic damage besides a small crack on the plastic and minor rust on rails.

Pulled the axle today. Everything was good there - bearings, seals were good. Axle seemed fine. I took another shot of from the rear. It really doesn't seem to be happening within the swingarm? Whatever it is seems transmission related and varies with load. I tried the same thing with the wheels removed and this behavior stopped.

Looking at getting a sxs for the lake, have had atv’s for 20+ years.
Currently looking at a Kawasaki Teryx4 LE 4x4. It has sub 2k miles and really clean. how reliable is it and are the fox podium 2.0 shocks durable? Thanks in advance!!

well I just picked this up for $2300 one owner. I’ve owned Yamaha and Honda products and I think its funny

any idea what this noise is? it happens when i turn it off, quad was pretty hot as well when i noticed it. Still runs and drives fine though

My wife was driving on a trail with her friend when under thr seat the friend sitting behind my wife said there's a fire. My wife stopped the atv and they get off and it engulfed the whole thing. Heard there was some electrical issues with this year with a 40 amp fuse under the seat. Anyone have anything similar happen with these ?

Update 7.6.26 8:05AM- So I called CF Moto Care which is the extended warranty and they actually told me that I'm still under factory warranty until next month which I didn't know and they told me I have to contact my dealer or CFMOTO directly both of which are closed the dealer is closed until tomorrow however I just tried calling to see if Moto and they open at 9:00 Central Standard Time. so now I'm waiting to give them a call and I'll keep you updated

Now there are 2 of them!

Was a long day started with buying a used knuckle replacing it on the trailer. Rode in Haliburton ont. With my buddy came back Bancroft Ontario. Then hit the trails again

She was super slow not built for speed. Yet very strong in pulling things. This would pull better than my 2025 outlander hd5. It also came with a factory 3 point system.

we bought a bunch of quads a couple years ago to go exploring all the old fire roads surrounding the cabin. neither of us have ever ridden a dirt bike, and only 1-2 rides on my aunt/uncle's quads when we got them.

what an amazing way to go visit seldom-seen places. i love it.

he's using a 450 foreman, i'm on the 400ex. they're our favorites in the fleet. the foreman exudes confidence, the ex is easy to ride and super fun. (i wish he'd go over 15mph on the paved backroads though)

07 Foreman. I've done a ton of work on it and every time I fix one issue, another pops up. This has probably been there a long time but I could not feel it before. When riding, it feels like a little bounce on every turn of the wheels. Seems to only occur at the beginning of the ride but maybe I just get used to it. I notice the swing arm flexes pretty hard when it happens. No resistance when I turn the wheels or linkage manually and the axle does not seem to be skipping. Thoughts?

My 2025 outlander. It’s been a great machine for getting things done here at work. I added fenders and an implement system. This four wheeler replaced our 98 Polaris diesel four wheeler. She was a beast.

It’s sitting on sti HD6 rims 14x9 front and 14x11 back. The tires are kenda bear claw evo.

Picked up this 1993 Honda Fourtrax from a friend for $300. Ran fine last summer w/ a new battery, sat for the winter. When I went to pick it up this spring it started right up, but then died almost immediately. Drained the old gas and put in fresh, but couldn't get it to start again. Felt like it was close, but it just got worse. Now, as in the attached video, it's just clicking and doing nothing. I'm in northern New England, and would love to use it to plow this winter. I'm moderately handy, but don't have much experience w/ATVs.

Any advice on next steps to get it running? TIA
