Off-Brand ATV’s
Off-Brand ATV’sWhen certain subjects begin to work on my nerves, I m usually not quick to speak my mind about them. I m a fairly calm and collected personality and will wait to determine whether a subject needs my attention or not. Well, I ve allowed a certain subject to work its way deep into my head, and now I feel that it s my duty to warn unsuspecting buyers about a growing epidemic in the ATV industry.How often do you take a cruise in your car on a Saturday afternoon with your family and notice a pile of motorcycles, scooters, ATVs as well as some other unusual contraptions that you ve never seen before on the corner of a gas station parking lot? In fact, it looks a lot like an off-road dealer has set up shop without a building. So you get out of the car to check them out and realize with amazement that these machines are priced at about half of what you would pay for them at your local dealer. For those who think that seems a bit fishy to me, you re on the right track! For the rest of you, please read this warning very carefully. As an editor who is very informed on ATVs and cares deeply about this sport and its enthusiasts, this is a steal! But the problem is that those who purchase them will be the ones taken, not the roadside dealer. These dealers purchase these machines overseas in bulk without any sort of license or warranty. Reading through our forums on www.atvrideronline.com is what really got my helmet lining in a wad. We ve had post after post after post by those who have bought an off-brand ATV, had nothing but trouble with it since the day of purchase and are begging for parts, solutions and help. New posts of this nature are added literally every single day. If you don t believe me, just go take a peek for yourself. I know it s too late for many who have already made this type of purchase, but for the rest of you, please be careful buying these off-brand ATVs. They will more than likely cause you more trouble than if you were to just go ahead and pay a little more for a brand-name ATV. Yes, there are occasions and certain circumstances when people can come out on top with the purchase of an off-brand ATV, but I would bet that is a rare experience. Or at least I rarely hear of them. The differences between an off-brand ATV and a name-brand ATV are important. I totally understand that many people are looking for a low-priced unit, but buying a quality ATV will more than likely save you money in the long run, or at least allow you to come out even with much less hassle. Off-brand ATV companies are cutting huge corners on these machines. Cheap materials are used to manufacture them in order to keep the costs minimal. How can you be sure that these manufacturers over in China properly torque the bolts? Remember, they are cutting corners to cut cost! The stories that we ve read on the forums are downright scary as people have gotten home and started them with no oil in the motor. Clutches burn out in an hour, parts fall off on the first ride the list goes on and on. If you end up buying one of these machines, you re likely to be left with one huge hassle. Personally, I m frustrated with these careless dealers and manufacturers as I feel they are giving ATVs and ATV enthusiasts a bad rap. New buyers buy, then get frustrated and end up leaving the sport forever because they ve been met at the starting gate by a slick car salesman who has ripped them from the joy of the sport. It s up to you to do the research, but we would highly recommend going with manufacturers that have a good track record, develop quality products, stand behind warranties and have parts readily available when you are in need of them. Oh, and an R&D department would be a good sign as well. ATVR Things You Should Know Before Purchasing An ATV: Quality and service count. If you purchase an ATVfrom a parking lot or a local hardware store, where will you find repair manuals and replacement parts? Make sure your purchase is warranted, you can contact the manufacturer and you ll be able to purchase replacement parts. Safety counts. Name-brandATVmanufacturers spend millions of dollars on R&D, strict manufacturing guidelines and safety features on their products. You ll want your youngsters to have brakes that work and properly fitted parts that won t fall off after the first turn. Looks aren t everything. Most all of the off-brandATVs on the market are a carbon copy of the popular name-brandATVs. But just because it may look like a Raptor does not make it a Raptor. That goes for handling, quality and safety. I m sure that this editorial has made a few angry, but my goal is to inform those who might be considering a futureA TV purchase. My advice is not to trust everything I say, but research the information for yourself. The proof and ridiculous amounts of bad experiences are on our forums.

Raptor 250 Torture Test
Raptor 250 Torture TestThe one quad ever made that’s guaranteed to leave you smiling after you’re done riding.Okay… We’ve already run a few stories in the magazine about the Raptor 250 but it wasn’t until about a month ago that i finally threw a leg over this machine myself. I heard from Adam Campbell that this was the funnest little bike he’s ever ridden and it’s guaranteed to make a good rider better and i really wanted to see if it could live up to the claim. After the editors race that Yamaha held August 6th round of the ITP Quadcross at Glen Helen Raceway, i brought home one of these tiny titans to finally experience what it could really do. The machine issued to me was outfitted with a GYTR complete exhaust system, nerf bars and a Pro Armor kill switch. It got most of the oversized editors around the track pretty well so i figured it should move me around half way descent as well. Just to give you a few stats on me: I’m 6’1″, tip the scales at 245 and when it comes to motocross racing am usually in the novice class. I’m not the fastest guy in the world, but i can definitely hold my own. Finally on a tuesday night i grabbed some beadlock wheels with ITP MXR6 MX tires i had laying around, mounted them up and headed out to Milestone MX in Riverside, CA. I geared up, threw a leg over the quad and fired up the potent 250. Now i’m not gonna say that i didn’t get a few funny looks from other people at the track. My sheer size made this quad look like one of those 25 cent rides you might find outside of a grocery store that I used to want to ride as a kid. As I was riding around the track the first thing I had to realize was that I could not ride this like I ride my KFX 450. First it has stock suspension so it’s a little tippy and second it doesn’t have 1/4 the horsepower of that machine. It still has a good amount of grunt, but you’re not going to be clearing any huge jumps without a long run. Because of these reasons I had to fine tune my cornering technique which has since paid off when I ride the big bike. Not only have I improved my riding, but i’m having the time of my life doing it. I took it to the most recent round of the ITP Quadcross at Competition Park in Hesperia, CA and took a first place in limited mod 250 class, just look past the fact i was the only one in my class to race though. To help boost the popularity of this machine Yamaha is offering a brand new Raptor 250 to the class champion for the Open Mod and Limited Mod as long as you are riding one of these little machines. Since it’s starting to show some wear, I have decided that i’m going to put a graphics kit, GYTR bumper, high flow intake kit and rejet the carb, ROX anti-vibe risers and FASST Flex bars. Pics of the completed bike will be posted on my next blog about this machine. here are a few photos of me at the quadcross. Enjoy!!!Read More | Digg It | Add to del.icio.us

9 Championships In A Row? Wow!
9 Championships In A Row? Wow!I’m in awe with the talent and composure that now 9-time GNCC Champion Bill Ballance has brought to ATV racing!I’m in awe with the talent and professionalism that now 9-time GNCC Champion Bill Ballance has brought to ATV racing! To be honest, it’s absolutely amazing and extremely difficult to win one Pro Championship in GNCC racing, and Bill Ballance has done this 9 times consecutively. With all of the talented riders that have come on the scene in the last several years such as Adam McGill, Chris Bithell, and so many others, Ballance is still able to pull off that win before the season even ends. We don’t know how he does it. All we can say is that he must be superhuman. From those of us on the ATV Rider Magazine Staff, we want to congratulate Bill Ballance and Yamaha for another Championship. Our questions is, can he do it again????????Read More | Digg It | Add to del.icio.us
