alright sounds good. I got another question. on the swingarm their are the two bolts on the back and the four on the top for ajusting the chain etc. they are not lined up equal on the right and left side and i think the left bolt (on the back) is stripped cause you cant tighten or loosen it it just keeps spinning but the quad runs strait. the frame was bent and i took it to my guy who did new axel bearings, straitened and welded the frame, and did some carb work so should I just not mess with it. he told me everything was ok when he gave it back. he is good cause he is cheap, and only does what really needs to be done for what im lookin for, FUN. he fixed up my sled for 500 bucks and its run like a bat out of hell all season with no problems whatsoever. He specializes in two strokes.

 

CTATV, Do you have access to a lt500 repair manual. You really need to get one for this machine. You can usually find a used one on e-bay... I suggest you pick one up...its the best investment you could make right about now.
