that might have been your problem, im pretty sure that stuff doesnt get along well with oil haha (i learned that the hard way on my lt250r kickstarter bolt)

well this is my first time using the locktite on them.

im just going to jb the drain plug in..

ill try to post a video later...im heading out to Branson on sat. night. so ill be gone for a week...but ill keep checking this thread from my wife's blackberry tho.

haha now thats dedication lol!

oh yeah ...i dont say to much but im checking this 3 or 4 times a day to see whats going on

I hit the forum up on my G1 quite frequently as well!

You know what blows my mind is that we are still tied for the biggest social group on ATV connection. We're tied with Polaris and up till today were ahead by one. :D

Oh and the website is over 1300 hits from 12 nations around the world, 46 out of the 50 states, and 44 Canadian cities! Not a bad following for a 20 year old ATV. :thumbsup:

Woohoo! I just found a free .pdf of the full shop service manual for my DVX! Exact year too! Saved me $50!

Ordered my Pro-Armor front bumper for the DVX today! Should be here tomorrow before I head out and ride in the evening w/ my co-worker.

Funny story behind the bumper purchase though...

I entered into QUAD magazine's online photo contest to win an QUAD prize pack and Xbox 360 games, and I was one of the 4 or 5 that won! It was with this pic of my 230:

So I tried the demo of the game that I was going to get (Fuel) and it kinda sucked, plus my Xbox doesn't work very well and I haven't played it all summer. When I got the package prize pack today, I took the sealed game to Target, said it was a gift and I didn't know where it was from, and they took it back and gave me $64! I could have gotten $30 tops on eBay. So I told myself before I went that if I could get $60 for it, I would buy my bumper. And I did.

Previously though, I had noticed that RM-ATV offered the same bumper for $10 less than DK, but DK has a beat 'em by a buck deal. So I called, they beat it by a buck, and my order shipped shortly after!

Here's the bumper:

I love the looks. I was going to make one like this for my 230.

Double Post, sorry.

so wait, is that pic gonna be featured in quad magazine, or on the website?

Its on their site in the user photos (anyone can upload). But I'm not sure if it will be published or not. I've been published in QUAD twice, before I had the 230 though.
