...have gone longer without riding my fourwheeler than you. Sad thing to bet really, but I just got done puttin her together.

Blew my carrier bearings out July 20th, 2009 (yeah, over a year ago)

Decided it was time to freshen everything up, ordered new brake pads, front wheel bearings, swingarm bearing, carrier bearings, tie rod ends, etc.

Closed on a house in early august, spent the next 6 months working on that 100%

Finally got around to putting everything in in May. One caliper was locked up, just got it in the mail today and slapped it on.

So, here it is, 13 almost 14 months without riding. New sparkplug, oil change, cleaned the air filter, added some fresh fuel, charged up the battery for 30 mins, fired right up and went for a quick little ride.

Little dirty, over a years worth of "dust" on it.

May of 2010 was my last ride on my bike due to injuries. Tired of getting hurt so I just gave it up all together. Possibly looking into a grizzly 700 I can use as a meat wagon this deer season.

I went from October 2009 to July 2010 with putting maybe 2 hours of time on my YFZ before I sold it. Tore it down in October, replaced every chassis bearing, stripped and painted the frame, then rode it maybe 2 hours max after that, finally sold the damn thing for $2500 cash. Started out at $3200, no real interest for 2 months then dropped it to $2800 and sold it for $2500. Sucks that I couldnt get more, but I was tired of people looking at it for an hour then leaving without making an offer. It was by no means a pos either.:(
