over spring break my dad and i are going to some sand dunes in arizona. we have only had the quads for a couple of months and only ridden on forest trails. i know we need to rejet for the altitude and temperature changes, but what is the best way to do that...dial-a-jet or new jet??? also, we need to know what kinds of spare parts should we buy and take with us? what is most prone to breaking that we might need to replace...what tools? also, what is the best performance intake for the V-FORCE? lastly, does anyone know of any way to temporarily repair the plastics on my quad? i have a partial break on the rear fender and i dont want it to spread but i also dont want to replace it yet?

thanks everyone in advance

if you haven't rejeted already you may not need to, they come stock to run pretty well at a lot of places.

 

I fix my cracks with zip ties. I drill holes on each side of the crack then I stitch it up like I was sewing it together. o o o o o o o

Take a good set of tools-metric in your case. Air pump. As far as plastic goes let it go, and get the lava orange when your finally sick of how bad the crack is. jk[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] The zip tie trick work ok.

 

It depends on what altitude you will be riding at in AZ, I'm not familar with the 700 but I know my DS (when running the stock carb) would want a fatter jet if I was going below say 2500" probably only change one jet size, since your machine is apparently stock I would just go to where you bought your quad and tell them what altitude your going to be riding at and they will sell you the jets you'll need. With a stock new machine I probably wouldn't bring spares unless you know of something prone to breakage

 

Tools and supplies to bring.

Spare Plugs
zip ties
bottled water
wrenches
sockets
vice grips
screw drivers
oil
engine coolant
tow rope
cell phone

These are just some of the things i bring.

 

thanks a lot everyone. thanks for the supply list and the repair technique. its good to know that other people know more than i do about atvs[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Which dunes in AZ??? None of them are too big so I wouldn't worry about being 20 miles away and breaking down. No Glamis (In CA) is a big area if you went there nad would plan accordingly. Definately jet accordingly - if you are jetted Ok in CO you will definately be pretty lean near sea level.

 

i think we are going to hit up the hot wells dunes and also try to hit either sycamore creek or the cinders. we dont really know any other plces to ride but we are looking for somewhere to ride and camp for a few nights. any ideas? what trails should we hit?
