my parents are always saying im fixing stuf that isnt broken, its relly a matter of tuneing like alot of times the cluch grinds,(hopefuly its the cluch) and that needs to be ajusted, but it still sometimes does it and you learn to icnore it after a while but i think it is because they are pretty heavy macheins. and too ground and make shure bolst are tight, same goes with the cain, and to clean the carb and air filter ( brake cleaner works good to clean carbs) and buy special cleaner for the filter and make sure you lock tight the front nuts that ajust the tires ... the word excapes me at this point but to tilt them in at the top so they slant in tward the frame more, not much tho.

i don't buy into your statment, even if you're the best menhanic in the world and maintain these chinese quads you can not prevent them from braking frames, swing arms, shocks, front suspression parts, wheel bearing, alxe bearing, axles, and i'm not even counting the electrical and carbuator problems. these problems are very common on chinese atv's including jetmoto, i've owned 2 kazuma dingos, 2 meerkats ,1 sunl 90, 1 sunl 110, 1 baja 70, 1 cobra peirspeed 250, both the dingo's, meerkat and peirspped we had for 2 years, i still have a cabinet full of parts for the dingo and meerkats, the spares for the peirspeed i give to the buyer, the sunl 90 frame broke after 10 hours of riding time by a 6 year old. over the past 4 years that i been around chinese quads i haven't seen any big improvement if any in quality, i believe they can be ok for the 4-12 year olds beginners, but once they pass the beginner stage and are into jumping and sliding around corners it's time for major brand quad. i will not recommend nor buy another chinese pos atv. been there- done that. one more thing
arizona is the capital of atv's, everyody has them here because we can licence and drive them on our streets. so when it comes to resell, forget it, you're eaither going to give it away or put it in the dumpster.

@Jetmotoracer <div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>just to add if hes going to be doing any jumping to make sure the tire pressure is right because if its not then u will blow out shocks like crazy...</end quote></div>What is your experience with tire pressure? What psi do you use for different riding styles (jumping, smooth, track, rocks) and surfaces (soft even dirt, rocks, etc).

thx

well about jumping they blow out because all the shock is put to the shocks, and iv also had them blow on a woop section and another thing is that they dont hook up at all in sand when there to hight, so you should set them at like 3 pis and now i have the back at 3 and front 4 but im also gunna dorp the front maby, but you also have to ajust the pre-load for your rider weight even now my shocks bottome out in pits but the faster you go the less it herts all i have to say is stay in shape.and alot of presure seams to mes is your weight and if you read buckaroos poast in the artic cat form section( i think) you can learn moore about tire pressure.

(p.s i was in a hurry for this one to)
