wonderer Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Iggy, Looks like a great ride , now you can do some real exploring --- One thing though before you take it outback , put some green slime in your tires & get a low pressure gauge to check your tire pressures. About everything has thorns or stings you here. -------------See you on the push on the 9th-Friday-------you can ride up in style when they are filming you for the push's #2 & #5 as mr. cool .--------------wonderer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forum is back to normal.Hi Iggy it'a a nice looking bike!!Did you find any gold out there Sat.??None for me, but I did manage to loose a tan snake chap up on the hill..Take CareTerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARIZONA GUIDE Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Iggy the green slime is great stuff. You will take the valve out of the valve stem and put in a full bottle of slime in each tire. Then put the valves back in and air them back up. This will allow for the slime to fill the holes as they accure. Gret machine and you will love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kool Water Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Iggy, Just to add alittle more info. NAPA sell the same stuff (Green Slime) under a different name which is not as expensive, also I carry a 12v air compressor with me, tire plugs, extra spark plugs.

iggy Posted January 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 TerryThe only thing I found was a very old horse shoe and a 44 cal casing. " WRA Ca 44 WCF"Found out that it was from the original Winchester Repeater Arms Co in CunneticutIt was call the 44 Henry which was the foreman in the factory.They started producing it in 1860 and stopped in 1945.Now the horse shoe look very old and hand made by a blacksmith.I have to spend some time on the ATV to break the engine in so I'm looking at taking it out after the rain is gone. Iggy**********************************************************************************AZ Guide,I went to the slime website and entered my tire sizes 7x22 and 10x22 They say the 10" tires need 26 oz and the 7" needs 19 ozTotal 90 oz.I did find it for $12.99 for 32oz of at Amazon.com with free shipping for over $25So I bought 3 bottles. That is a lot cheaper then in the stores.I may even have some left over for my 2 wheel bike.Thanks Iggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARIZONA GUIDE Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Instead of the air compressor i have two cans of fix a flat with my plug kitthere is more than enough preasure in those cans to fill your tire up "IF" you get a hole big enough to plug with the kit.

Guest Bunk Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Iggy, I will show you what I carry in my tool bag next time I see you. You will really enjoy the freedom a ATV provides! Make sure you keep the tire side down and the seat side up, as they are very heavy when they are on top of you!Bunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
