Not to jack this thread any further but displacement has little to do with exhaust note! It's the number of cylinders, cylinder configuration, diesel or gas and the designe of the exhaust system. A big V-Twin sounds much different than an inline twin, as does a single cylinder on a moped? A formula 1 race car sounds amazing at maximum rpm and a NASCAR sounds like a POS Hillbilly open exhaust (which it is). Loud in our sport leads to getting banned from trails and closing of tracks. Unless your racing at a track then you should consider your neighbors, Stealth IMHO is the best medicine and one of the coolest things out there.

Don't forget the lock or bolt through the rotor. Went to the bar with a buddy on our bikes and he was gonna show me his new awesome anti theft device til we went to leave and he dumped his bike in parking lot due to forgetting the lock on rotor. Now he has a tag by the ignition switch as a little reminder.

:lmao:

That's probably something you only forget once. Good idea on the tag.

A couple of times I forgot to turn my fuel back on after trailering the 500. Just when I was ready to trash the thing, I remembered why it wouldn't start at: I finally started leaving the cover under the pod off (that's where the petcock is on the 2010) and on my front seat as a reminder

some good ideas here, my Rottweiler does the job just fine haha

$13 per month to GEICO and I know that if my machine is ever stolen, worst case scenario is I'm out $500. Great peace of mind.

Just got a wake up call ,, lulled into a false sense of security , leaving the city for the country. 2 boxers and a pit that bark at everyone that comes to the house. Motion sensors on the rear driveway , bedroom window open , ATV 20 feet from window. House is in the middle of 10 acres and not visible from the road. Gravel driveways . Solid heavy rain , wake up, bike is gone. No lights, no barking, no noise . I am a light sleeper with two babys in the house. My 9mm close at all times . No tracks , lock and chain gone as well. Called the insurance company after a day of searching known hangouts. They were reluctant to take the claim on my homeowners policy at first . I only use it on the farm , cutting grass hauling wood and materials and snow plowing. Finally got them to agree on it's use . Make sure you have the right policy for your ATV,, things could go south at any time. Oh, and my deductible is 1% of my house replacement value. Never even noticed that policy change last month.

Good news is I can replace the Rubicon with a 2012 Sportsman 850 w/ ESP . Less money for the Polaris , more weight, torque , and a smoother ride. 2013 Rubicon 500 cc bike with 14 inch wheel tire combo , winch and plow , $11,100 . Sportsman 850 WITH EPS , already has 14 inch wheels , add a plow and winch and I'm OTD at 9600. That is with the rebate .

Bottom line your best defense is insurance. Need to get the deal done tomorrow , lots of work to do . Take care and stay safe ,,,

You should thank that thief Mick...lol

who said anything about me having a gun???? I have rifles for hunting, but you've got me confused with the other guys on here. By the way, I'm also a avid hunter, you say you have deer dogs??? Up here in Canada we know how to hunt, and don't need dogs to chase our prey out to us, I've never herd of that before, deer dogs, talk about lazy hunting.

Yeah, I know you guys up in the Great White North are usually a few years behind on trends in America. Dog hunting started about 100 years ago down here and is more about the skill and breeding of the dogs than the deer itself. I hunt any way you can but mostly with a Mathews Z7 bow. My 9 year old daughter still hunts with a rifle through, she hasn't quite got the arm strength to draw a bow yet. I did a bear hunt in Canada a few years ago and saw the skill you guys have. You put sugar coated corn in a 55 gallon drum, sat in a stand right over the barrel and then shot the bear at point blank range with a rifle while it was eating. I have to say I was truly impressed with the skill it took to do that.

And hunting deer with dogs is any different. Try that in Tennessee and you'll end up in jail

Longshot...although I appreciate firearms, you DO realize that you are going to start something ugly here with that last photo don't you? Great dog photos! I'll bet the Jack Russell rules the roost.

a problem?

those are all viable deterrents as far as i am concerned...

Didn't involve my quad but electric fencing is a great deterrent. I use wire that isn't seen at night and it kicks out 8000 volts, no amperage. A fellow hit it and after he recovered, couldn't get away fast enough. How does it feel? I've hit it so first hand experience. Both shoulders slam together, feet slam into the ground and the breath is taken away momentarily. All simultaneously. Not pleasant.

Disconnect battery
Get a 220 volt power extension cord. 110 volt if more convenient.
Get two pieces of metal and attach them to the plastic foot rests. Use a multi-meter set to OHMs to and connect one lead to the handlebars and one to each piece of metal on the foot rests to verify there is an open circuit.
Run the neutral wire to the frame or steering column, connect the other two hot wires to each of the metal plates on the foot rests.
Disregard the green ground wire.

And then go to jail when someone dies. Hopefully this was sarcasm, but never know with people today!!!!

It was a joke. I hope nobody actually get's the idea to do this. An electric fence charger would be safer if somebody wanted to go this route.

But I do work with a guy who's father actually wired 220 volts to a metal garbage can, a piece of wire mesh separate by a rubber mat because he was having trouble with black bears getting into his garage. He said it actually worked because the next night he heard that bear howl when he completed the circuit between the garbage can and wire mesh! He said that bear never came back to his house.

Get a sign that says protected by smith and wesson if you can read this you are in range. Lol out here in Idaho everbody and thier goat has a firearm. Not to worried about someone taking my quad. I park mine in the back of my pickup truck and strap it down and put the ramps underneath the truck. Made a custom spot for it. Plus my truck is lifted with 35's good luck getting that out with no ramps.

Ive been wondering how long it would take before the ******* Rambo with the lifted truck on 35s approach showed up , but he finally arrived LMAO
