I searched the DNR web site and there was no mention of the Darringer campground closing, that is DNR land, right?
But they have closed trails at Reiter as Angie said. They closed the trails at creek crossings.
So no more even getting close to the Wall, that trail is closed where you cross the creek. The trail leading from the lower staging area towards Lake Isabel is now closed at the creek crossing.
We are slowly losing our riding areas due to the environmentalists.

Economically, they should be opening up more areas for us to spend our money locally on the way to and from riding areas. Instead, I spent a great deal out of this state to enjoy riding areas that Oregon invests the ORV money into providing great access and nice facilities. I don't even tab the quad I ride down there in Washington because it's a waste of my money.
I repeat, CALL or WRITE YOUR Representatives. Get the Dealerships to get off their backsides and support our sport so we continue to support them.

They are easier than I thought they'd be...Other than needing to pull the plastics and fuel tank. Oh and the whole doing math thing... 
You will need small measurement(I think .002 or metric?) blade style gap measurement tool and a small magnet like a pickup tool to pull the bucket and shim out.
I'll look up the specs in my shop manual and shoot them to you. Take the measurement, do the math, replace what's in there with whatever new size needs to be to increase or decrease the gap to bring it into specs. Exhaust and intake are sometimes different, sometimes not.
I should have given you the shim kit when I dropped your gear off. I'll mail them to you tomorrow.
Easier to have the whole kit of shims on hand and organized than it is to try to measure, calculate and order a couple sizes from the local shop at $5+ and wait.
Not uncommon about the radiator and the mud. I found the same thing when I tore my Z apart for the motor build...It's a hard area to get to in order to keep it clean. Now that you know, you know.
