Why don't dune buggies have windshields?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Some dune buggies do have them. For them to be street legal, they need to have some sort of windshield, with a wiper. For offroad use, you do not need to have one. They usually do not have them because they are not needed, and do very little. Most buggy owners just wear goggles or safety glasses instead of the hassle of a windshield.

How do you know when you need to add more air in the bike tires?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Squeeze it with fingers! It must be strong enough to not let you do this.

The critical thing is that you must have pressure enough so that when you ride the tire won't get entirely squashed between the ground and the rim. If you can feel the rim touching the ground you need to pump them harder.

What is a Boost Bottle?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A boost bottle catches the mixture of oil, petrol and air, that has been forced back in to the carburetor, preventing it from getting to much fuel and not enough air.

Becouse a two-stroke engine will push back a little of the mixture in to the carburetor, and then it will get more fuel added, so you will end up with to much fuel, and not enough air, so the combustion won't be perfect, the boostbottle will catch the returning mixture before it get's more fuel in it, and then it will release it back in to the cylinder, ensuring a better combustion.

This will increase performance, and safe fuel.

How do you change oil in 1996 Yamaha Wolverine 350 ATV?

Asked by Wiki User

The drain plug is a large one, slightly to the rear of the center of the engine. When you remove it, be careful not to lose the screen, spring, and o-ring inside of it. Clean the screen and plug in gasoline or other solvent, being careful with the o-ring (some solvents will eat rubber).

Coat the o-ring with clean oil. Refill on the right side of the motor, being careful not to overfill.

How do you tighten the chain on a Polaris Xpress 300?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I had the same problem, but then I looked at the rear tires, the one on the right ( same side the chain is in ) was closer to the front of the four wheeler than the other tire. Then I lifted the rear of the quad and it was because my rear bearings were gone and needed to be replaced, which would pull the rear tires back in line tightening the chain.

Where is the ignition serial number on a 1982 suzuki gs1100 I lost my key and I need to get another one but I need the serail number on the ignition switch?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Hi, the key code on on the alloy block the key barrel fits into. the block is held on by 2 allen bolts, remove these and take the ign switch block out. when you look at the block you will see a square pin on the side of the block and around that surface you will find the 4 digit pin. i suggest you use paint stripper to remove the paint if the number is not visable. DO NOT USE ANY WIRE BRUSHES, just some q-tips and a rag.

goodluck

How do you tell if your kfx 400 is a 2 stroke or 4 storke?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

first of all learn how to spell.

Anyone with half a brain could tell it is a four stroke. A two stroke mixes the oil and the gas and a 4 stroke keeps them separate. A four stroke sounds much deeper than a two stroke. you should know this. Ever heard a banshee? that's what a two stroke sounds like.
