    Viper Viper Elite 4000 Winch Install on Kawasaki Brute Force 750

    Viper Viper Elite 4000 Winch Install on Kawasaki Brute Force 750:

    A little  plastic removal, she fit in like a glove.  The guys @ Moto never did  it under the seat for these new / larger contactors... I measured the  size and figured it would fit with the seat on, it does smile.gif  Kent has  suggested mounding it anywhere high and dry.

     

      I ordered the pouch for the front fender to keep my tool bag in since I  took up that whole space (and then some).  The only thing that would be  cool is some kind of bracket to hold the contactor, but the zip ties  worked out OK for now, maybe I'll fabricate something down the road.

     

      I trimmed the wires to get rid of the excess as well, It would be better  if the kit came terminated on one side only.  But I understand why they  term both ends because some people just don't want to do it.  A  suggestion would be to include some extra 8 gauge terms for the wire so  it can be customized.

     

      I tested it and everything works.  As per Moto they said to install the  plastic guard you should unwind the whole cord, put it on, then wind it  back up.  I did not have a chance to do that yet.

    Kawasaki Brute Force 750 Bus Fix

    in ATV's , UTV's, Dirtbikes & Snowmobiles

    Posted

    Figured I'd post this here too, I picked up a Kawasaki Brute Force 750 a few weeks ago...  I went on the popular Mud In My Blood forums and they have a crap load of great posts on how to fix common issues. 

    I did the bus fix last night thanks to these forums, I would have never  known this was an issue.  I wasn't have any problems, but I wanted to do  the fix regardless.  Pictures below.    Anyways, I wanted to know if  there was anything else I should check and fix since I have plenty of  time to do things till she gets to see the woods. Besides changing Oil,  Air Filter, Plugs, front / rear gear oil. What else should I do? 

     

      Its a 2005 750 w/32 hrs and about 165 miles (just picked it up Saturday)

     

      This is after gave it a good cleaning / detail.

    Greetings;

    My name is John, hailing from Central New York.  These days I go by the nickname Fantail.  It would be nice to see a stable hunting forum for New York.  Considering the time of year, you might want to and a fishing section.  Also, a lot of us are into camping and jazz like that.  I'm not sure what happened to the empire forum, but from running the huntny.us site for five years I got a pretty good idea.

    Well I hope this forum has some success, it might seem like a simple thing to do but it's not going to be easy.  Good luck.

    One good thing so far is that this forum is Windows 7 Speech Recognition friendly.  Got to like posting hands free.

    Great idea's...  Should I do Fishing / Camping or make the two different ones?  I don't want to dilute the site into to many categories, I think I might even nix a few I have already.  What are your thoughts?

    Saw the news on BuckBarn and joined. Glad to see it's back. Hope others find it.

    For whatever reason my buckbarn post was deleted... Odd isn't it? I had to repost it in that same thread.  Don't think I violated their terms or anything.  Settlers maybe you can reply to my post on there so they know its not some spam or something.

    Fields / Seed

    in Land Management, Food Plots and QDM

    Posted

    My brother, father and I just got a few acres upstate in Lake Huntington, and we are planning on doing one or two fields.  I'd like to get that attachment for the ATV that will turn up the ground, and then I'd like to plant something that is friendly to the soil in NY.  In addition, I need something that is low maintenance because it will be way back in the woods.  Any suggestions?  Clover perhaps?

    Lifetime Hunting License?

    in General Hunting

    Posted

    Did anyone get a chance to take advantage of the Lifetime Hunting License before the price increase?  I jumped on it last year, it made sense for me since I have at least 30+ years of hunting in me.  It was a big investment, however this year I don't have to spend any $.  The wife was not happy, but whatever!  8)

    Tree stands

    Anyone build their own stands or use a pre-made one?

    I'm more for the building your own because it allows you to really customize it to your needs.  And they are just more comfortable.  You just need to be careful when building them to allow movement and check them frequently for any loose boards / steps / railings.  I've been using band iron to allow for some flex in the floor boards rather then nailing them directly to the tree.  Its been working pretty well.
