ATV parts

[line052]

If you have facebook find this group "Winchester and Kemptville Man Stuff for sale" I put a picture of my 1993 quad up and had about 60 replies for parts, yours is more popular than mine. I see tires, winches all kinds of ATV bikes and 3 wheelers everyday. No tax, to boot.

Line052 You saw 50 - 60 people?? Crap guess I'm not going there this weekend maybe I will go to the Winchester Bog area.

Parts I want to replace with new right now. The things left on my list are.


* Front Shocks the left Spring is soft
* All Rad Hoses (at least that won't be expensive) (30.00)
* Fuel Lines (at least that won't be expensive) (10.00)
* Complete body tear down in Winter and repaint frame completely after thorough rust cleaning.
* Add a tachometer and Temp gauges.
* Seat Cover (60.00)
* New Tires (400)
* Extra set of rims maybe ???

I paid $28 for a meter of heavy duty vinyl +40/-40C at FabricLand on Merivale rd.. Still have over half left. I sure we can make a deal, plus I bought the small air stapler/staples needed to do the job. One shop I called quoted me $180.00 to re-cover seat with a lesser vinyl, the vinyl I got is marine grade vinyl. Stapler and staples $60.00 at CTC.

Hey can you guy's tell me how far we can expect to get on a tank of fuel without using the reserve?

[last5oh_302]

Depending on how and what I'm riding through I can get anywhere from 80-120 km's a tank. That's with a 700 EFI single cylinder.

Edit, the tank holds 22 liters if I recall.

Mine is a 500 single 15 liters so I'm thinking about 80-100 probably sounds good.

The really important question GW should be..How long can I run on 'Reserve' before I have to walk ? ..LOL..

[greatwhite]

We were just discussing that. I use to always leave my Motorcycle on reserve as I figured it wasn't going to get me very far. LOL.

So my buddy and I were just discussing that we figure we would want an extra 20 liters (10 liters for each ATV) between us if we go more then 50KM.

By the way some day this fall I will go out with you and cut you some wood show how to cut.

You may need to cut 3-4 cord first, just to make sure I learn right....LOL..I'll even bring you a spare safety helmet, complete with ear protection and face screen...

I use to wear all the equipment when I worked in the bush in NS. Don't bother for myself now. I got plenty of insurance .

How many bush or face can you cut in a day now? Doubt if I could do 3 Bush cords anymore don't cut enough these day's

We don't really measure our 'daily' productivity John..we just work every morn 9:00 till noon and then we go home for lunch and a nap

Our woodcutting is more of a physical fitness routine for two old retirees, slow and steady.

But we get er done...

This is our efforts, a winter worth of wood to split between us.

(The closest pile is our Iron Wood pile....we keep that wood separate for the cold nights of Feb)



Back on topic...we use a Honda 350 Quad for all our winter logging. Block the wood in the bush then haul it out to dry in a sunny field. The ATV is the key to the while operation, and this Honda has never failed us in the past 7 years.
