So finally the finished article. I hope you have enjoyed reading this thread. I've done the best I can to make it a bit interesting and not just a bland walk through. Thanks to those who gave feedback, was much appreciated. Merry Xmas to all and have a safe one...

Ah hell, why not, one mores not going to make that much difference. haha The 2 girls that the quads were done for also have an older brother who is 11. Being the awesome uncle that I am and just because it wouldn't be right if I didn't, I figured he would also like something too. So I went...

Thanks for the great comments, great to get them. I got it finished late yesterday afternoon but had lost the light to get any pics at the time. Not that those fuzzy damn pics I posted are much chop anyway, sorry about that, seems the hands aren't as steady as they once were. I will get so pics...

Ok ok, "back soon" was a bit longer than i'd expected, I'm bad. I real am over this time of year, everyone wants there last minute stuff done that of course they have left to the last minute, and they want it done and completed 10 minutes ago! I'm over it. So, where was I? Ok I remember now...

Hi, Can we get some pics of the quad and a bit more info on the standard setup. Does it have the 2 or 4 front A arm setup? Do the front shocks have the remote gas reservoirs? If it's just the cheapy shocks they wont have and shock dampener adjustment I take it. And anything else that you can...

Hi all, I know most of the traffic on here is bike related but I'm kinda fond of my quads. So just to add something for the other quad readers I thought I would put up a quick run through of one of the quads that this santa's helper had to get ready for a Xmas delivery. So some time ago I...

Hi mate, It's basically an Orion, Apollo AGB29. As for not riding it to hard, don't bet on it, if you look at my profile pick you will see the bike pictured is very similar to yours. It, and the other one the same that I have have both been ridden hard and fast over some rough terrain and are...

Another thing to keep in mind is quite often the idle speed will go up a bit after they have been ridden from what it was before riding. Also when you first start them the clutch is basically cold but heats up a lot during riding (I've seen them smoking quite badly). It may be an idea to take...

Hi Cookie1980, like you I'm a new member here and was just reading some threads and came across yours. Am I correct in thinking you are talking about a 2 stroke quad? If so ... Having had a few 49cc mini quads myself, the first thing that came to mind regards your problem was that this will...
