that our ATV turns 10,000 miles.

 

Damn thats awesome! I hope I get that many miles out of my 07 Foreman. I only have 500 or so right now.

 

Am I reading that you also have 10,655 hours on it? That's an average speed of less that 1 mile per hour??? Is that correct?

 

Yes thats odd ridding ,I have 2700 miles with 250 hr. Thats 10 mph average. Your ATV must do alot of idling or putting around the yard?

 

8/26/09 10,000 miles and 1067 hours.


On my way to work today, Marysvale Utah, the center of the Paiute Trail.

 

There’s a decimal point in there, it reads 1065.5 hrs.

 

Specta, do you live near the Paiute Trail? I have rode the Pauite Trail twice and IMO is there is not a better trail system out there.

Congrats on the 10,000 miles. I am not to far behind you with 7200 miles and about 918 hours on my 05 Rubicon. Maybe in the next year or so I will catch up to you Wonder how far the odometer goes.

Have you had any trouble out of yours?

 

sorry double post

 

We own this little ice cream store right in the middle of Marysvale and live at Big Rock Candy Mountain. I ride my ATV to work and back every day, 16 mile round trip.

So far I have replaced both front upper control arm bushings, shafts an sseals, one lower ball joint, the left rear whell bearing twice, the left hand brake cable and the seat. Out of pocket probably less than $400 in repairs.

It still has the original battery and the original brakes are about 1/2 gone and it's ready for its 4th set of tires. I credit the brake life to the Rubicons engine braking and using ESP 95% of the time.

Its an early 01 and has been an excellent trouble free ATV.

 

You say you replaced the lower ball joint, are you talking about the tie rod ends?

Good to have an idea as to what could be coming in the way or repairs. You say you are on your 4th set of tires, that is hard to believe. I am only on my second set right now. Of course you ride on road alot more than I do.
