Oregon Dune Fest 2016

[SEOINAGE]

Yeah cool place. I got to sit in a F18.
My buddy had a Suzuki Samari and he turned the leaf springs upside down to give it a 4in lift. We were using a snow board being towed behind his Samari in the sand.

I tried to do that with a junky plastic snow board I had, failed though. My soon to be brother in law has a suzuki that he has set up for crawling. I think he spends more time building than driving, passionate about his suzuki though.

Man that's me. I work/play with my toys tuning and prepping 10x more than I play with them.
My ATVs have been sitting in my storage shed for 4 years. I bought them to replace the 3 that got stolen 3 days after my mom died from her garage. Long story but it was the meth head neighbors. I only rode the other ones maybe 3x and the wife rode 1x before they were stolen.

My battery was of course dead in my Raptor 700 even though it was on a tender. The Yfz450 started right up and then died, started again then died. The next day started and died then wouldnt start. Didnt hear the fuel pump anymore and after testing several things figured out the fuel pump had died. Took it out of the tank and tested it and yup, it's dead, wouldn't spin and only got hot. Started to search and you have to buy the whole unit, $300

Well I'm not one to just settle for buying a while unit like that on anything so I tore it apart, started doing research on flow, PSI and GPM and found a few different suppliers for $20 down to $17 from China. They are ALL made in china, Yamaha. I ordered two from 2 different suppliers and got on in less than a week, put it in today and works 100% like new.

It's taken a few days because I wanted to put new plugs in everything, change the oil since I hadnt done that yet and my Raptor 700 needed headlights. Got everything done except one light to finish hooking up tomorrow and it's ready to go.

Oregonian here! Ride 'em!

Do you ride? Are you going to be there?
