Picked up my wife's new Eiger auto 4x4 tonight...
Started the break in process... the atv seams like it's well balanced and has nice low end...
More to come...

On a side note I was supposed to pick up my new ride (04 p700)also but the wheels and tires won't be in till the morning.
I guess I can wait one more day untill the fun begins...

Any tips/advice about either machine would be greatly appreciated...

Later~

 

Welcome,
I have the same Eiger configuration as you folks. I bought the 400 so I could use it and my children could ride it. Middle of the road so I could avoid buying 2. Good runner. Add a inline fuel filter right away as this has been a concern from the outset. Simple little deal. Cut the line from the tank to carb and add it. My Idle was a bit low upon receipt and I bumped it up a bit. Short of that it has been a fun toy that does alot of chores for me

 

Thanks for the heads up on the inline fuel filter...

 

Howdy,
No problem, Glad to help. From what I had heard there is debris in the tank and it gets in the carb. I did mine at 15 miles. I got mine at Kragen's. It's a little 2" steel deal for about 3 bucks. I do however need to re-jet the carb since I keep and use the Eiger at 5500 feet. Seems to have a little flat spot off idle.

 

i have also found that these machines come lean and one of the kit's that have the airfilter and jetkit's really improve performance...also i keep my gas selector in the prime postion when i have it running this way it always has fuel then turn it to on when off

 

just to let you know the new eigers have a recall, on the petcok screw on the tank, make sure your dealer fixes this.

A good friend of mine has an 03 auto w/ a 2k pound winch, great bike. He has pulled a lot of ranchers out of some nasty holes, and some sport quads too. After I got tires on my rancher, I didnt have to have anyone pull me out.

 

Thanks for all the advice/replies...

Where would I mount the license plates on these machines...(lol, I'm such a noob)?

 

the best place i have found is either the rear rack, or the storeage box in the rear. my idea is dont mount the plate at all it looks like cr@p.

LOL... I wonder if I can just leave the plate in the storage area w/ my tools and flashlight...

Hmmm!
