    Well.. (Sigh)

    Got my 06 yesterday. Straight up trade for an 06 Yz125. That was mint.

    Cons-To say the least this quad was in need of some tlc. Broken fender bolt, chain lube everywhere, filthy airfilter, filthy overall. Now it has a dead battery, and just found out it needs a new front sprocket (Its shot big time). Plastics are ok.

    Pros- Runs awesome( when running.) Pro taper bars, Rath bumper and grab bar. Low hours. Bearings are tight, chain is new, holeshot tires, and now after some hard hours it is extremely clean!

    I think I made out ok. Everything is getting replaced this winter anyway.

    It has the stock airfilter that will be replaced by a Uni as soon as i get the stuck screw out. The one that holds the little bracket to the back of the air filter.. I cant get it out. Any help?

    I would take a screw driver and a hammer, push down hard while turning and tap the top of the screw driver firmly with the hammer. That should break it loose.

    A bike for a quad straight up? You did pretty good. Even if the bike was perfect and the quad needed some tlc, you did good.

    Try using the fattest headed phillips driver you can find. That little screw has a pretty big slotted phillips head on it. I guess theyre in there pretty tight stock

    Thanks guys! I was a little frustrated today. It took along time to get up to my standards. I have pretty high ones. I like my stuff to look nice.

    Im gonna try that hammer thing tommorow with a big phillips head. Hopefully it will come out. Its exactly why I want a uni, so I can get rid of the damn thing.

    Any help on how to get chain lube off the swinger? The guy used a ton and its on there pretty good. I will try to get some pics tommorow.

    Touched up a few spots on the frame and on the bumper.

    Taking the heat gun and and sand paper to the plastics tommorow, as well as a new sprocket. I cant even tell you guys how bad this damn thing is.

    And I got the battery charged by jumping it with my lawn mower haha. It will get there soon enough.

    Soak simple green on the swinger. If that don't work, Eagle one self etching wheel cleaner will take it right off.
