2014 Spring Ride April 11,12,13

If someone put a gas station on the trail they would probably make a killing. Lol.

Sign me up for the ride please.  

Hey all,  

Curious of anyone coming Thursday might consider him or herself aPolaris  RZR CVT expert.  Ours has been getting a bit whiny, and it is quite a bit worse today after we got it buried almost to the seats in a mudhole up on trail 98 above Ashland.  Our winch stopped working (submerged) so we were there a couple hours before a group came by and pulled is out.  I am guessing the CVT got wet even though we have the cover sealed with RTV sealant.  It did not want to move until we let it rev in neutral a bit.  We have a drain and not much came out though.  Took the cover off and it is dusty but the belt looks good.  We ran it with the cover off and the whine seems to come more from the primary clutch, and the belt seems to vibrate against it at medium rims as well.

We also have a grinding gear issue, so we have been turning it off to shift.  Might be related.  One more note is that my son pit on a new belt a few weeks ago, a G-Force Carbon C-12.

Basically looking to get a feel for if we are OK to be riding more or if we need to let it sit until we get home to work on it.  Not sure my warranty will cover this situation anyway.  Seems a bit self-inflicted.

We are in AL-2 if anyone happens by and can offer an opinion.

Thanks,

Tony

Sounds like you smoked the belt. Always run the factory belt. All the aftermarket "heavy duty" belts are junk.

Take it into Northfork and have Shawn at S & S ATV put a new belt on it if your worried about it.They will grind because it is idling to high from my experience with the last 2 RZR's I owned and I put over 12,000 miles on thise two so I have some experience with a RZR

Spring Ride plans & expectations




Thursday-everyone on their own to make ride plans


Friday-10:00am Group ride leaves from stop sign at campground

Saturday-9:30am Group ride leaves from stop sign at campground

Sunday-10:00 Group ride leaves from stop sign at campground

1.First off the Friday & Saturday group rides are not a party it's a
ride so if you must drink do it in moderation as there won't be time
to stop for lot's of pee stops.Save the partying for the campfire
after the ride.


2.You need a rear view
mirror to watch the person behind you and never run off and
leave them where they don't know where you turned.


3.If you have mechanical problems for example overheating,broken belt,etc
that can't be fixed quickly I will not have the whole group
of 50+ other machines sitting around wasting their day waiting.The
ride will continue and someone will stay with you to make sure you
get back to camp.


4.If you are not ready to ride when the ride starts you will be left


5.Bring food and drinks and extra gas if your machine can't go
80 miles on a tank just in case we would ride that far.



We will have short breaks & a lunch stop on the trail.I will sound a horn when break is over and it's time to ride.After horn you will have 2 or 3 minutes to get in and buckle up to start riding again.


If you have any questions are you think I left something out please post

I had the same grinding gear issue...it was the one way bearing on the primary clutch

I will be there for Fridays ride

Hey just curious. How long is the 1 o'clock ride gonna be?

Going to try to make it Friday :-)

I am just guessing and odds are BobbyD is on the road but I would say it will end just before dark. Probably 6-6:30PM.

Perfect I'm 15 mins away and rushing to get there.

Just got back to camp rv site 74.

Wish I could make it. Have fun and ride safe.

Milkman and I will be there saturday!

Come on Yogi!!

You all be safe,  I hope to get to join in on the fall ride and see all my friends.  Have a blast lloks like its going to be a great weekend.

Craig...AKA...KILLLERSKUNK

loaded up and rolling out at 6. see y'all in morning boys

Promiseya!!!!

We rode in the Picken's Poke Run yesterday and had a great time and there had to be 500+ vehicles. A little to crowded on the trails. 

We were going to come down and ride with you all today but I'm having trouble with my EPS unit. We'll have to pass this time and see you all with the fall ride. With the weather as it is, I'm sure everyone had a blast!

Man what a amazing trip. Can't Thank Bobby enough.

Had a good time. Thanks Bobby D.

Thanks Bobby had a great time. Im planning on going to the fall ride as of now just depends on the dates.

Thanks Bobby & Christine, we had a great time, thanks to Shawn for the ride saturday, had a blast.......Roger & Jan

Great time thanks bobby,good job as always.

Thanks for the good time we all had a blast.

Thanks Bobby and the crew. My friends and I had a blast learning new trails. That is until I broke an axle. See you in the fall.

Ankle Biter

you broke an axle on a 570? I never heard of that happening before.

Boddy, thanks for putting this whole thing together! Had a great time and am looking forward to some spring/summer rides out of Matoaka! Thanks for showing me that war out of Ashland! 

Just so everyone is aware, when I spoke to Bobby last night he was strongly leaning toward not having a fall ride and just having the annual spring ride. These rides are a lot of work to put together and the fall ride dates run very close to Hot Rod Rhinos fall ride! Seems like a logical move to me....Bobby's ride in the spring and Hot Rods ride in the fall. I am sure Bobby will chime in let us know ASAP so we can all plan accordingly.

I hope we stay on two rides like everyone voted for. It's awesome seeing everyone
