There is a '91 Yamaha Moto-4 w/ 250 at my sister's house that is ripped down to frame. I've got all the plastic off, even the handle bars. It needs a new stator and other tender loving care that I haven't given it. I did reupholster the seat on it though. Which I had some pics of that, it came out really good.

My uncle has an old Quad King that I used to play on a lot as a kid and I ride when I'm out with my brother-in-law on a Recon and Rancher. I don't have one of my own, nor have I ridden a 'sport' ATV before. I'd really like to get my hands on a Warrior 350, but my cash is all directed towards other things.

Are TRXs still carbed? I thought they would be FI like Raptors now? I don't pay much attention though.

all of the trx's are carb still. the only sport atv's that are Fuel injeted are the TRX700 which just came out and the raptor 700 and the ltz450 and KFX450. and alot of the utility quads are fuel injected.

How did you ride in all the rain and muck this afternoon? Didn't you get a bunch of snow starting this morning/early afternoon? confused

We've still got rain and it just started turning to hail here.

If he's like most of these nuts, you just ride in the rain (though it's a bit cold for that).
