I had my quad sitting in our garage for 2-3 months and tried starting it. I turned the key and the digital screen wouldn't show up and didn't it start. I jump-started it with a charger and it stayed running, but when I shut it off it wouldn't start again without the charger. A few weeks later...

When I'm driving my ATV around I don't really smell much, but when it runs in our 3-car garage for a few minutes the smell is really strong. Do quads just smell more gassy/release more fumes then regular vehicles? Or is there a problem with my quad?

Hi guys I have a YFM200 DX. Unsure of year of manufacture but surly late 80s early 90s. A friend of mine who knows more than I checked the stator and its fried. 2 questions: Where does one get a stator that fits this quad cheap??(cheaper than yamaha 😂) Is the stator on this model supposed to...

Now I don't know if the seller misspelled or something because when I search up Rubicon it just shows Rincon. Anyways how good is the quad compared to other Honda ATV's? Is it just as durable as any other Honda quad? Is it good for trail riding and more sporty stuff or better off just doing...

I'm a noob when it comes to quads, now I've got an oil leak and I'm not sure how to fix it. I could just take it to a mechanic and I might, but I would like to learn how to repair my ATV myself if I can. The underside of my quad (I think it's called the skid plate) seems to be totally covered in...

Kind of a dumb question but, how ok is it to move my ATV around when its shut off? Is it ok both forwards and backward? If I want to move it somewhere else in the garage can I just push it there instead of turning it on? Im newbie when it comes to quads so when it squeaked while rolling it I got...

Is it bad for my quad if I let it sit in the garage for a few months or a year without ever starting it up? Is there something I should do with it every so often so it doesn't get damaged or lose power somehow?

Hi, another ATV noobie here. I wanna get into quad driving but I'm having trouble buying my first quad. I can't decide if I should buy a new 2020-2022 model or an older one. I get this feeling that the older quads, like Suzuki, Honda, Yamaha and Kawasaki, are built better and last longer then...

Good evening folks, I have a 1986 Yamaha moto 4 225cc. It has a brand new carb on it, but it only starts if I cover the carb with my hand... Any ideas why?

I recently bought a 1995 Kawasaki Bayou 220cc as a atv to tinker around on and clean my trails with. I got the headlights and taillights working, replaced the rear hub so both tires spin, and got new back tires so all is going pretty well. Unfortunately the quad is having issues with the gears...

I have a 2006 Vinson 500 manual that has started making a humming/whistle noise that sounds like its coming from the top of the engine(not sure though). There is no smoke or oil burning and it rides and drives fine. The sounds is worse when it’s cold outside but after you drive it for awhile it...
