Just to keep you guys informed as I posted this on the Dootalk forum as well, I have removed, cleaned and WD-40'd the DPM solenoid as well. Looks corroded, but seemed to operate fine. I have yet to find a 9v battery and apply power to it. Next steps are to probalby pop the head off and take a...

You know what's cheaper?? Ordering Nord-Locks at 1$/each x 8 and using a mirror to view the cylinder as best as possible. With some unique positions I'm sure I can see most of the cylinder with some minor cursing and swearing! Pipe, silencer, carbs, etc are all off already doing my leak test...

How much does that cost? lol.. Sounds like we're getting more expensive. O-rings are around 30 USD +shipping. Might just order pistons for 300$ that come with that kit + the base gasket kit. Base gaskets are 9-13$each (for setting squish) + locktite 518 (~30$). I'd be curious what MCB...

8 ply for the Tacoma, or jump to the full on 10 ply? A buddy has 10ply A/T's on a Tacoma and they seem ok. A bit stiffer, but not anything crazy.

I'll have to order the o-rings then... I'll check into that. It'll at least make me feel better knowing.

2000 meters is when it started and rode 2000-2200 from there (except out of the area). From what I remember it was warmer, but not like t-shirt weather. I'd still say slightly below zero. Maybe -5-10. Maybe an issue. I should see a decent view through the exhaust ports wouldn't I? At least...

What's your guy's opinion on 10ply vs 8 ply? I asked the sales guy if it makes a difference with punture and he said not really. I was thinking of running the 8 ply because of my truck being a Tacoma instead of a 3/4 or diesel truck with extra weight and handling ability. What's the real...

Let us know what you find. Sounds like it might get expensive real quick. You can likely get away with less than ideal if you are just wanting one more year and then a back-up sled. I wouldn't sink thousands into it and not have any returns in the future. That 300$ I was mentioned was just...

Haha. I found a plug down below the engine (the abyss of the summit) this fall when I started getting into it, but I have a faint memory of me dropping it there in the spring and just putting a different plug in the hole to keep it closed to the elements (I was sanding/painting my garage and...

Are you just talking the "up to 100$ off"? I need new tires soon and I've been eyeing the Duratracs for some time now...

Sweet riding no doubt. Wicked place to ride too, but like him I prefer more gnarly stuff. I'm not great at MX.

Leave coolant. Make sure it's properly mixed to take our temperatures though (50/50). If you have only water in there get it out now and put the proper mix in. If your oil is fresh leave it in. You could fill it all up, but lets face it. Bikes have short lives. Just leave it if it's not...

Ohhh.. Just noticed you have a 04... You have to be cautious with the rings on your pistons... If you want cheap you could potentially just change the rings, or do the top end. Then again you will lose compression again if there are issues. I think some 04's were ok?

No I haven't. Still doing tests on my sled. Been busy building my fence. I have another post showing my inquiry into it's problems. I'm fairly sure that the metalic noise I heard was the cord on my belt slapping the belt guard. This sled has been REALLY good with belts, but this last belt...

Ok, I like answers with some background for there reasoning. Saying the crank is shot is not a clear answer. The engine was pressure tested and it's not leaking. The seals on the crank are good. Sure this doesn't mean the bearings may be lacking grease, but it shows there isn't air getting...

Everybody starts somewhere. As I mentioned listen and learn and you will progress a lot faster in many ways then one. People didn't say bad things about the vid because obviously you made a decent effort to make it. They aren't easy. I have footage and will eventually make my own from my...

Thanks for the updates Jared. Maybe be an early start to the season down in Fernie area. Normally we don't venture down there till middle of December, sometimes the new year. Of course we'll need lots of snow and time... It needs to set-up and cover the stumps and rocks. I'm not brave...

Seperate of this post, lacking experience and lacking the ability to listen and learn are two completely different things. One's not bad, the other is stupidity. These forums are filled with lots of info, and people handing that info out. Some of it better then others, but if you sift through...

Yea I want to punch him... They always have annoying video's there.. I donno what the guys at Fernie resort are thinking...

Explaining my problem. Last spring I was riding with some buds. While doing a slow, whooped out section of trail and being a bit rusty on the throttle I suddenly heard a metallic rattle from the engine. It didn't last too long, but maybe 15-25 seconds. In that time I couldn't determine it's...
