Riding Rollins Pass in Colorado

My friend and I road the west Rollins Pass road last week. The trail head is in Winter Park. I found this ride scenic, historic, easy, and great fun. The road is an old railroad right of way that was built in the early 1900s. This is a popular "Jeep" road now, and popular hunting area. Our trail speeds were maybe in the 15 to 20 mph range, faster than normal. There are no difficult "technical riding" sections to pick our way through. The railroad abandoned this right of way when the 2.5 mile long Moffat Tunnel was built from Rollinsville to Winter Park. That tunnel is still used today by passenger trains.

The "ridge trail" that used to connect the west side and east side of Rollins Pass is now closed to all except hikers, see photo. The needles eye tunnel is also closed due to falling rocks. And again, I found the access road up the mountain to our parking area very rough and narrow with significant drop offs. It is too narrow for two pickup trucks to pass each other. We didn't meet anyone head on, but it would be tough to backup up hill to find a wide spot in the road so we could get by each other. If I could license my ATV, I could leave the truck and trailer at the base of the mountain and ride that 3 miles up the mountain to the staging area. It would be much safer to do so in my view.

We passed three identical Can Am Defenders by the trestle. We guessed they were rental machines. We kept on riding down hill and soon these three machines passed us. I think the side by sides can travel faster than a quad over washouts and rough sections due to the longer, wider wheelbase. I was impressed at their speed.

We enjoyed our ride very much.

old oil?

hello out there. I just purchased a 2014 can am spyder rt ltd with only 430 miles. I rode it only 100 miles and oil pressure light came on. It was sitting in a garage for 4 years. I'm wondering if I should just change oil or oil & filter. Would sitting for so long change the property of the oil? Would the filter be clogged. It's only got 530 miles on it. Anyone with answers?

2012 xmr 800r

Let’s see if you all can help... 2012 xmr 800r , trail rides mainly light to moderate mud . My bike will completely shut down while riding , any speed , sometimes it will fire back up within seconds sometimes minutes. What I mean by shut down is blank screen, no spark no fuel no power . This happened today at least 20 times while riding. I thought it may be the ignition switch , so I quit using the key and went to using the switch. No help still does it.

2015 ETX turns over, but will not crank

Today riding, my 2015 ETX (low miles) acted like it was flooding, then would only idle. Once idling, if you give it any gas at all, it will die. Now, it only will try to crank, but will not. Ive turned the key on and can hear the fuel pump run for a couple of seconds, but am I sure if that means it’s good. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hello I have a problem with my front hub locked in. I have disconnected the power going down and it still will lock in when you give it gas. Both front wheels spin freely and independent when idle or off 1750 miles give er take
