August in Wisconsin

Location : Iron River, WI
trails to hit : Iron River Trail -> Valhalla Trail -> Lenawee Trail -> [stop at Old Baldy Look out.] -> Battleaxe Trail -> back to Iron River Town
date -time : August
at least two day, or 2 nights 3 days ? depends on schedules, dates, weather...

here is a Plan for weekend / or ...

day-1
Arrive at noon, check in / go for short ride, southern trail system , "bearpaw" "buckskin" . come back 4bbq. beer. &rest
Night-1 sleep
Day-2
start ride 8am. make a loop with stop for quick lunch and drink, by Valahalla, come back afternoon 2-3pm ,4pm the latest?
Get things together and move to another location for 2nd night, up to 3-4hours away.

Night-2 rest..
Day-3 ? moved to BRF - cuz it's on our way back home. same we split long trip a half ... to come back home...
Black River Falls ... if not both at least southern part, but IMO we could hit both counties in one day...
Night 3- stay @ BRF or back home...

this is what I've planned... we could change BRF for something else, or make day1&2 in one day, but i bet most of us will be to tired to pack and go further same day. so I planned it the easiest way...


Or- meet one morning [9am] @ BRF - hit both counties- stay night @ BRF.
then early morning move up north to Iron river.ride and stay night there. then go back home, or move on ... If all goes well , we could move on another trail...
I assume these are 60-70 miles trails , with avg. speed of 15-20mph, 4h is way enough to make loop or trail back and forth...

Interesting issue.

I have a 2015 Sportsman ETX just over 1000 miles. This year, I have been experiencing a weird issue. After riding/idling and the machine gets hot, it bogs when hitting the throttle and sometimes dies. I turn the key off and back on it starts right up and rides fine till I stop again.

Any ideas?

Rusty water dripping from ATV

Hi everyone.

I have a 2012 Sportsman 800 and many times after I wash it off and it has been sitting around a few days, rusty water comes off it when I start moving it. I now think that the water is sitting in the two square frame posts that run from front to back just above the skid plate. They seem to be open ended and bent slightly upwards on the ends.

Does anyone else experience this? I have looked and can see no drain holes on the bottom of those square rails.

The other day I elevated the front end of the ATV and it has been dripping constantly from the back near the hitch where the rails end.

Thanks

Stuck Clutch Cover Bolts

I've got a 1986 Trail Boss 250 that i'm starting a rebuild on - first time working on these Polaris ATVs. I'm trying to take off the PVT cover and some of the bolts just spin and spin. I assume the nuts embedded in the plastic cover are turning and the plastic has given out. For most of them I was able to get a tool in there to hold it enough so I could get the bolts out. But there is 1 bolt that has zero access to where the nut is (bottom back bolt).

Anyone else have this problem when trying to take off the clutch cover? I tried to drill it out but its too strong of a bolt and my drill out bits weren't making any progress. I'm about to take a hacksaw to it and just accept the fact I need to get a new one...
