DigDug 0 Posted November 8, 2008 Add two to your list of "probably"... At 8am... Assuming Mickey's grades are up that is... If not add one... FN is off "vacationing"... Anybody else buy a radio and need it programmed? If you don't speak up, I'm leaving the laptop at home... Where by the ranger station? Right in front? It might be kind of tough to find parking there... I saw LOTS of toyhaulers headed out that way on the back from LA today... It's going to be a busy weekend... We'll have to stay off the main roads and away from the tourist attractions... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We'll have to stay off the main roads and away from the tourist attractions... park where ever you'd like... we can meet somewhere near the kiddie track near the station... everybody can look for the bikes with plates... I'll have Ozzy and Shock with me (black DRZ with Superman logo on head light- they both have Orange bikes) I know what Doug and Rooster look like, as well as Jason... so look for the group of dual sporters, and my bike (with the logo) will be facing the main road leading to the Ranger station... Don't you think people will start packing up Sunday for the drive home? I'm hoping so... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SDlineman 0 Posted November 8, 2008 I just got my kitchen pass to go, I will have my son and possibly my Brother-in-law with me, so we will probably ride on our own most of the day. I do have 2 new radios that I would like to get programmed, so if you don't mind bringing the stuff to do it, I would appreciate it. Let me know the fee ( beer? cigars?) and I will bring it also. I will try to be at the ranger at 8 to meet up with everyone. I'll be coming from Ramona and have room for at least 2 more people if anyone wants a ride also.

I will check the sticker on my green sticker bike and if its still good I will probably bring that bike otherwise my WRR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spaugh 1 Posted November 8, 2008 where is the meeting spot? briana and bbgwill and I will probably come. Should be one big ass group. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrophyHunter 15 Posted November 8, 2008 Didn't get the 450 back from C & D. Waiting on parts. I'll eval the WR250 Saturday and decide for sure. Will chime back in with a definite answer. Would it be safe to assume there will be "chili reminders" from Saturday's events at the rodeo grounds? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DigDug 0 Posted November 8, 2008 Sounds like there will be a few VX-170s that want to get some programming... I'll pack the laptop and programming cable. Sounds like it will be a good chance to give them a good ops-check with a group!!! SDlineman - no fee required... It'll just be nice to have everyone on the same sheet of music.

Jaynen 0 Posted November 8, 2008 My green sticker bikes green sticker went out in June 2008. I would probably get away with it that or ride the WRR. The tw301/302s should prove interesting in the sand if I do hehe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm going to bring my son's 50cc chinese quad, but we'll prolly go off on our own, because the rest of the group won't be able to keep up with him on it.

Jaynen 0 Posted November 8, 2008 My wife rides a raptor 250 quad, in general she will keep up better than me, especially probably in the sand. If the group splits I am sure we will go in the slower one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrophyHunter 15 Posted November 8, 2008 I'm in. 8:00 Ranger station/kids track. Got 450 back from C & D. Grey Tundra 4 door.

Jaynen 0 Posted November 8, 2008 So my drz-250 kept dying whenever I would give it any gas, but finally after having it choked for quite a few minutes i was able to slowly roll on the throttle and then it was fine. But it died a bunch prior to getting it that way. Now the same thing is happening on my wifes quad, its always had a hard time running cold from the factory and has to be on choke a while before it can sustain its very low idle. But anytime I give it even a little bit of gas it cuts out and dies and if I turn the choke down to half way it also dies and this is after having run it for a few minutes Any ideas? I don't want to have to back out due to stuff not working Both the quad and the bike have been sitting for 4-5 months maybe, so I guess it could be the carb but I don't really know how to tear that stuff apart, the carb on my drz was just cleaned and a new jet put in the one ride before this one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaynen 0 Posted November 8, 2008 must have managed to get the one on the DRZ to unclog because it runs fine now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xxxinsd 0 Posted November 8, 2008 now a days gas has a shelf life of a few weeks there are so many additives that when the gas evaporates it leaves a lot of white crap to clog jets behind.... the carb should have a drain on the bottom usualy a phillips head screw..turn the gas off and open up the drain then open the fuel valve and let new fuel get into the carb..try it again if that dont work you will have to clean the carb but its no big deal.. if you can get the bottom of the carb off you can spray carb cleaner up into the jets with out taking off the carb.. hope this works xxx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaynen 0 Posted November 8, 2008 I'll take a look It runs on full choke so I am guessing fuel is getting in obviously but the pilot jet is probably clogged Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
