:thumbs: Welcome :jester:

 

How you liking that 400ex?

 

I have been looking at the DS650, and (of course) the Raptor. But the lil ol 400s sure are a lot more nimble...I had a Banshee, but that thing was nothing but work.

 

I'll probably go with the 400ex or the Suzuki 400 (I'm kinda brand loyal on the Zukis, my dad used to own a shop.) as they are smaller, and cheaper than the big dogs.

 

Where are you from?

i really love my 400ex ... i was going to trade it for the 450r honda but i think the 400ex is better all around then the 450r !! (i guess i just hate the fact so much that it is kick start and still doesnt have reverse just made me hate honda)

 

but if i had to do it all over again i say i would choose either a ds650 or an dale....

 

dont get me wrong i love my 400ex but i dont like being down with power :thumbs:

 

but nothing a 416 couldn't handle in the future :thumbs: ....

 

sorry it took so long to respond umm i usally go to daniel boone but someone told me they closed it down ... also i go to the local sand pits and pretty soon making a trip to the bad lands :thumbs: i cant wait!!

I'm going to look at 2 different Raptors on Monday, and one guy says that his buddy is selling a DS650 Baja...I rode one of those yesterday, and it's a freakin' hoss! I was haulin ba!!s on some pretty uneven stuff, and it rode like a caddy.

 

If I can't make a good deal with one of them, I will probably just go buy a Z400, or KFZ400 (Kawasuki)....Same thing, different color.

 

Gotta have a winter toy now.

      Clunk when putting truck into drive and reverse.

      By Matt Parker · Posted

      I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
