Here's my 2005 Yamaha Kodiak 450 that I've had for a few months now. Finally got to ride a little bit this weekend, so of course I had to clean it, and decided to take a few pics. Since last time, I've added the ITP mud-lites, Savant Stick stoppers, and the driving lights. I threw one in of my extremely dirty truck too. ;)

I need some of those stick stoppers for mine..I'm always pulling crap out of there.

 

I don't think they make them for sport bikes though. :seeya:

Yeah, its amazing how much krap can get hung up in there.

 

I'm sure you could find a metal fab shop that would do it for your bike... I'd bet it wouldn't be cheap though. You could find some plastic or something (like cut up a rubbermaid storage container or something) and zip tie that in place. Probably look awful, but might work??

Oh...I could make them myself. I have quite a bit of scrap sheet aluminum laying around.

 

I'm just lazy :D

 

I also use that as an excuse to do more wheelies. Can't get crap caught in there if the front wheels aren't on the ground...Of course...I can't steer very well that way. :loser:

You're just saying that because your Rap-turd's (AKA Yamaha Raptor 660 death-trap) front wheels only touch the ground when the engine is off... lol

 

Heck, you sport bike guys aren't the only ones that can pop a wheelie. I can pull about three inches off the ground if I start off in low range 2wd, gunning it on grass or something it will grab onto well. LOL

The guy riding this 650 Prarie can do MONSTER wheelies. It's like watching a Tahoe do a 100' long wheelie. It's quite a sight.

I need to add some to my Sportsman too as I took out a boot last sping with it when a chunk of mud (that dried to a brick) got stuck in there.

How do you like the Mud-Lites so far? I put them on my Magnum 500 but have not had a chance to test them out 100%. Have worked ok in snow so far.

I've been really pleased with the Mud-lites. They ride smoother than the factory Maxxis tires on hard packed terrain, and have done awesome in the mud.

 

The only time I've gotten stuck is from high centering, never from a lack of traction... and it's been through some really nasty stuff. They clean out really well, and still look brand new after ~75 miles of mixed terrain. I'd definitely go with them again.

Have you used them in the snow yet?? I have the Goodyear Gatorbacks on my Sportsman 700 and they are TERRIBLE in the snow. I have gotten stuck atleast 5 times with them.

I haven't on mine, as we don't get hardly any snow here in Mississippi. It was going to be "cold" today, I think it's about 48 out there now... lol

 

Sorry man! I'd sure try it out if we had some.

Ive had them in the snow, and they worked great so far. I purchased them based on the shops recommendation that they were aggresive enough for the snow, and wouldnt bury me if I start to get in too deep. I use the Magnum to plow and spread salt on my driveway, which is prety steep, and I hav'nt had any problems yet.

Thanks, I may have to take a look at them then. The Gatorbacks are pretty aggressive but that is bad in the snow as all it does is make 4 holes in it. I also use it to plow so getting stuck is not good.

      Auto start stop disable

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed the Auto stop eliminator on my 21 Sierra SLT shortly after I got it. They have a detailed video instruction on how, took me about 20-30 minutes to do. I was apprehensive too to start tearing apart a new truck but it was pretty easy install. Like you mentioned get some trim tools. I went to Harbor freight and picked up a set. If you can find some install videos/instructions to give you and idea for a plan of attack you should be fine.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      If all oil manufacturers had to meet a higher standard for not just the initial filtering of the oil but that they had to improve on their formulation so that the oil cleaned the engine such as the Valvoline R&P or the new Mobil product ( assuming it works similar of course ), and the oil was changed on an interval based on good UOA data, there shouldn't be any gremlins running around like miniture rats on top of your heads to be washed down into the oil pan below 😁

      OCI, not when but why?

      A while back on another thread there were comments and thoughts on air filters and I know that can tend to be a bit of a hot topic because of outfits that have a vested interest in selling aftermarket air boxes fitted with the gauze type of oiled elements touting the lower air restriction. However and unfortunately I don't know where I have seen the test results in the past about the amount of dirt through a test procedure that these style of filters do pass more dirt through than a properly designed ( not some cheap Chinese knock off ) paper/synesthetic media filter can do. Lake Speed had a conversation on that topic with one of the employees at Donaldson and there seemed to be a consensus of these oiled filters falling short in the absolute percentage of dirt holdback.    Which all ties back into how good the air filter is on the engine at keeping dirt out as that is going to reflect as a contaminant introduced into the oil as well as cylinder wear even if some of that dirt does find its way out of the exhaust rather then the crank case. Put another way that one can throw the kitchen sink at filtering the oil and using a bypass system which I fully expect will do nothing but good for the oils contamination but if the air filter system isn't doing its job then its preventing the engine from reaching the best wear/lasting case scenario instead.    Now perhaps this topic is or isn't for this particular thread but Grumpy Bear or anyone else for that matter, do you have access to some scientific trust worthy testing on engine air filter types to get some proper comparison data to post up.

      WOW, something we agreed on. I only bought at sticker twice. A 94 impala ss and an Acura intagra type r. Made money on the first. Still have the second.
