Will do. Between you and @Remington I'm sure you guys got it covered.
It was my 1st injector, so wanted to take my time, so really didn't know what to expect. Maybe snakes jumping out of the hole...lol! Wasn't bad at all. Maybe this whole diesel thing is ok.

Next on the agenda: PT cruiser head is back from the machine shop. Mr exhaust valve and Mr Piston got in a fight. Mr Piston won...

Diesel work is only as bad as you make it. I worked on diesels from AIT at Ft.Leonard Wood,Mo. at 18 all the way up to 56 yo when I had the stroke. Yea interference motors and timing belt failures don't end well most of the time. And customers just don't understand why they need replacing! :eek:

Yeah I watched it right in front of me. He was really scared. But I flipped it over fired it up and made him go around again. Told him doughnuts are the devil and he agreed after 10 more min. He was fine.
f***ing donuts are of the devil!

Talked to my buddy at Honda for awhile today. Still Popo country here unfortunately. Said they are impressed with Talon but rzr still selling 10-1. Honda is 10-1 over Yamaha. Yxz he hears do horrible out here everyone complains. Wolverine sales are down but he says they only see them for service, I asked when I should replace my belt but he said they don’t order any and 200$ so I’ll be waiting a little longer I guess. Pioneer sales have slowly climbed and other then the service bulletins they don’t see them in much either.

I’d for sure buy the Honda but I did like the Yami comfort wise. And POV on the nose sure better then Honda. Two pretty good quality rigs, can tell big difference from Popo.

Well we can’t blame people for buying what was available at the time but they should know they have a better option now.:)

Well wyatt flipped his Kawasaki 50 for the first time. Talk about an eye opener! I blame @popeye . His son Tanner taught him how last year!

Surprised it took him this long, he had a few close calls last year at the air strip, tanner rolled his sisters quad the third time he rode it

Ya but unfortunately it’s more the dealer. With all the incentives it makes sense for them to push Polaris. Plus the service department stays busier with service, repairs and recalls. Parts department stays busier with replacement parts and accessories. Then the rig doesn’t last as long so it starts all over sooner. They don’t try to sell you the best most dependable they sell you what puts food in thier kids mouths. It’s the same with ANY commission business. A gun store doesn’t sell you what’s best, a car dealer doesn’t look out for you. So a big part is that problem, and the other part is stupid f***ing people that listen to the people making money off of them.

Our friend from the woods is coming to our riding area this weekend! It’s time for some heavy s***. This is where things get broken if you stay in the trails.
