Thanks again to the people on this forum who lend their valuable advice. When I start to wrench, I tell my friends I'm a white collar man doing a blue collar man's job. Meaning, I have little mechanical skills, although I'm learning.

The job was fairly simple following the directions from threads posted on this forum. Also the shop manual is a bonus to have in hand, considering I had a view of the job before I took the side cover off the engine.

 

Oz when are you heading to SL next, I am going to be there May 25,26.
Seems like I remember you might have a trip coming up too?

 

Hightower: I don't think I'll be to Silver Lake until August. We're booked for August 17, 18, 19 and 20. We have a group of eight heading just north of Baldwin, MI to ride the Little "O", Little Manistee and Lincoln Hills trail systems on June 2, 3 and 4. (MAP)

 

Oz if you happen to go ride the Tin Cup trail wear your kidney belt.18 of the 21 miles are whoops.
At least it was last yr.

 

The four trail systems in Manistee are:

1. Little "O"
2. Little Manistee
3. Lincoln Hills
4. Tin Cup

In all, these four systems are over 100 miles of riding. I would like to know if the Little "O", Linclon Hills and Little Manistee trail systems are worth a crap? Since Tin Cup is WHOOPED like a bear, I would like to know if the other systems are any good. A group of 8 guys is coming over from the Saginaw, MI area for two hard days of riding. If the trails are junk, we're going back to the U.P. for our late spring trip.

If anyone can comment, it would be appreciated.

 

I would ask these guys http://www.atvoffroad.net/.
