Well the other day I was taking apart the carb of a friends quad to replace a part and clean it, and in the float bowl, along with a bunch of particles that shouldn't be in a carb, I find what apeared to be a small piece of bark, in the carb. What are some things ya'll have found in your quads that aren't suposed to be there.

hmmm, ive a couple of weird things show up in my old 250r

somehow, a stick got lodged in my carb at an xc race, and locke the carb in a full throttle position, sending me full speed into a creek, i flipped off, and the quad did a front flip, needless to say, i had to remove the stick, and about 5 gallons of water from the motor... ugh

another weird thing i found in my quad was a mouse, yes, that right, a mouse... at the time, before i got my beadlocks i had baja rims on my r, and 2 mice had mad a home inside one of my wheels, there was hay straw and everything, the had there own little bacholar pad lol

the one day while washing it, i had a pop in my hand, and i tripped over my hose and spilt pop all over my quad, i went inside to get some cleaning procducts, but also decided to make a sandwich for lunch, an hour later i came out and the was a bee convention inside my front plastics

and the most retarded thing that was ever be in my quad was from a retarded prank by my freinds, they decided to stick a certain "vibrating" adult toy in my exhaust... i wasnt there at the time but when i came back i heard this buzzing... i was like "not the bees again!" i poured water all down my plastics, and then moved my quad, when i started it, that toy came flying out

ugh... good times... i miss my r

LOL, I've seen bolts and things in tires, from the factory. I've seen a small screw on top of a piston from a member here... lol. It was a new engine too. In my own experiences, I've seen mice make nests inside of an engine, with an open valve. This was in a truck engine that sat for like 5 years. Cranked it, and nesting and mice came out of the exhaust. When we tookt the head off, there were a couple dead mice, and their home.

i was racin parker valley one time, and went out for practice and when i came back my quad was makin a hideous noise from the rear end.. i got back to the pits and was like.. WTF is wrong?, i looked and there was an old shock off of a dirtbike crammed between my rear shock/link and swing arm. looked like the shock off of an early 80s late 70s dirtbike w/ the twin rear shocks and this was one of them

:huh
