@crazyfeller5704 ya it’s stuff we take for granted. I actually remember the first time a mechanic told me this I was just starting out. Glad your passing on the knowledge to these youngsters.

@@crazyfeller5704 I took video of the disassembly and noticed that cam chain was tight even though the machine sat for the whole fall winter/spring. I think it was that loose mostly because I had that tensioner out and compressed it bleeding out the oil. I still think the manual tensioner or even the upgraded tensioner that doesn’t allow it to push back in all the way will be better in the long run. Normally I would never not replace the cam chain but guys have 10,000 miles on these engines with original chains so I don’t think it’s stretched plus the engine has to be disassembled to change the chain. Polaris Engineers haven’t changed…

@crazyfeller5704 oh did I? Ya I truly believe it works. Just another layer for the oil to ride on other than the cylinder cross hatch itself. I will be interesting to see what Little Mac look like when I pull it apart.

@buildurtruckurway9118 what do you mean “ATV”? You mean ATF? Automatic Transmission Fluid?

@@Indeewoods lol yes ATF. my damn phone always auto corrects. Fixed it.

@buildurtruckurway9118. That’s not ATF it’s Klotz 5w50 full synthetic. I would never use ATF on an engine build other than on the piston rings. Years ago when I first started building engines a preferred method was to use ATF on the rings only so that no carbon build up would occur vs using engine oil on valve seats and rings. So I came up with my own way and took it a step further using 2 stroke oil on rings and seats and my thinking was it was an oil that was meant to be mixed with fuel and burnt. I’m still old school I use a mixture of lubri plate and thicker engine oil for my “assembly lube”.

@@Indeewoods I've always pre soaked everything in ATF. Then when I put everything together I use it and Lucas assembly lube mixed with ATF so that it actually flows into the bearing and the crank. 5w50 is my go to. but since I was given 3, 1 liter bottles of the assembly lube I have to say I love it. Couldn't use it up on 100 engines. But straight it just refuses to flow so I cut it with ATF to make sure I feel safe.

@buildurtruckurway9118 I don’t like mixing oils especially when it’s an atf type oil but to each their own. I will use an assembly type lube for the bearings/cams and then I use a thinner non synthetic oil to break in the engine and seat the rings. I won’t run it long with the conventional oil just long enough to seat the rings and break in the cam if it’s new. After that it’ll see what ever oil is recommended. In this case it’s either 5w50 or 10w50 full synthetic. My regular oil I run in my everything here is Shell Rotella T6 5W-40. Since this one calls for a 50 weight I’ll use the Klotz 5w50

@austinp8308. That’s loose because the tensioner doesn’t work until the engine runs. A new chain would do the same from what others have said since I made these vids.

Ya in the frame they are but I think if I did 3 of them back to back it wouldn’t be terrible. Tricky work for sure though

@needlefeltsforyou1345 I think now that I’ve done it I’t not to bad but at one point I was wishing I’d just pulled the engine but that adds a lot of extra work.

@needlefeltsforyou is that you Donut Dan??

@Indeewoods It is. I'm On my daughters phone. Mine had a little mishap on the trail. 😂😂😂✌🏼🍻

@needlefeltsforyou1345 haha another trike crash?? Lol

@Indeewoods Another one? Nope...I keep having the same one over and over again....😂😂😂 Didnt someone say these things were dangerous 🤷‍♂️ 🤣✌🏼🍻🍩

@needlefeltsforyou1345 😂😂

@robfred2713 that’s right when it’s long steep hills you can’t speed up to engage the clutch to “engine brake”. That isn’t true engine braking most models have a one way clutch bearing and or an electric mechanism to slow it down right to a stop. Check and see if yours actually has a one way bearing. If it does and it’s not slowing you right down to almost a stop then it needs to be repaired. On really steep hills you’ll always have to tap the brakes the odd time but on mine now you should see the huge loads of wood I haul and the engine braking works awesome. If you get stuck having to use your brakes it’s best to keep your speeds as low as possible and pump the brakes on and off so you let them cool slightly vs steady pressure but sometimes it’s hard to do that.

Trust me, I was thinking going down that hill that I was riding that break way too hard and way too long, no opportunity to pump and cool it, and RNG has a video about the inadequacy of the CF Moto brakes on the Uforce, and as I understand it, the larger UTVs, both CFMoto and Polaris, do not have the one-way bearings, I am not quite sure why, but the smaller Cforce models do have one, it may just have to do with the weight/mass, hauling wood as you say. RNG has a video of the common failure of those one-way bearings, he just replaces them with two way bearings. I’m just glad going down that hill I did not have two or three people on my bench seat, and a deer/elk in the back.

@robfred2713 ya some cc models don’t have engine braking because they feel it makes the machine less sporty because when you let off it slows it a bit but I always thought it was so dumb ( and dangerous) not having it. You blow a brake line coming down a steep hill you better be ready to jump out lol. As for brake pads try to order some EPI severe duty brake pads. They work really good and last long

@StarknightMT_official I’d love to!

@@Indeewoods Hi, thanks, please let me know your con tact info

@StarknightMT_official I don’t have one for the channel but I’ll send you a message through your website

@@Indeewoods ok

@StarknightMT did you get my email?

It is

@@Indeewoods Mine never dropped below 55mph with a bit more to give, yours dropped to 40 to the mat.

@pcwizzy460 oh you were pulling the same trailer/weight and on the same hill were you?

@@Indeewoods 7% grade, 11,000lbs behind the truck. lol

@pcwizzy460 pics/video or it didn’t happen in my mind lol. Honestly I don’t know what the 460 is capable of vs that 488ci V10 but I’d love to try both. Maybe I should buy an old Ford and I can do the same weight,same hill etc. Give me all the specs of your truck I’ll need year,model,short box or long,manual or auto,the gear ratio and 2wd or 4x4. I need a temporary truck anyway so maybe I could make it happen. Would be a fun experiment

@legsterpittenger5992 yes overdrive aka top gear along with the TQ locking up is considered overdrive. Not sure what you are getting at here.

@@Indeewoods It's not top gear. It's 3rd, the 1to1 ratio when the torque converter first locks up.Overdrive locked would be far less rpms.

@lesterpittenger5992 I have no idea what you’re even talking about because you never said, in your first reply to me. Be a little more specific please. It sounds like you’re referring to some thing I said in the video you have to realize I have over 650 videos I don’t remember each one lol 4th gear is OD. When you take it out of OD it drops to 3rd and locks until it see’s to much load then it unlocks to save the torque converter clutch but that also heats up the transmission pretty quick.

@@Indeewoods All righty then.

@lesterpittenger5992 like I say I don’t know what you are referring to in the video. I’d have to watch it again to try and figure out exactly what it is you are getting at. Are you saying OD is 3rd gear? This is a 4 speed transmission not a 3 speed if that’s what you are thinking.

Yep it sure is!

@kollinspencer847 I think so yes.

Ya not to bad at all. Had to put two new exhaust valves in

No low range but has reverse

@@Indeewoods reverse? really? how does it work? is it a lever on teh engine

@kollinspencer847 no it’s the typical Honda reverse the little red button on the lever. This engine had hi/low range when it was in the three wheelers but when they put it in the quad the took out low and replaced it with a reverse gear

@@Indeewoods oh i didnt know that. and makes sense my 250sx has that same reverse button

@brianmcintyre8940 yes this was in Alberta 12 years ago

@johnnorris1227 yes I think it is.

@johnnorris1227 ya I have tons of saws and I really should have the clutch tools but I just got lazy and never bought any yet. They come off pretty easy with a couple wrenches.

@troylowther1620 you got that right 🍻

@andrewsliasas I’ve never seen one strip there should never be that much tension on your chain. Go back into that video I’ve added the link for that tensioner that should fit your saw. Let me know how it worked out. I have some here do next time I get a chance I’ll verify but it should work for yours.

Thanks for the reply - yup, that looks like them. Only used the saw for about an hour, and the chain was noticeably looser after this period. I just tried to tighten it up a bit, but there might have been some debris preventing the bar from moving and I cranked the adjustment screw too hard. Will give the new adjustment screws you linked a go, thanks again!

@andrewsliasas3680 ya just make sure you loosen the bar nuts before you adjust the chain otherwise it will strip the threads.

@WendyBratt thanks Wendy!

@TegridyFarmsGermany that comment did not get translated to English. I’ll have to try to figure out what you are saying. :)

@TegridyFarmsGermany ok I was able to translate it. There’s usually not to many scary noises going on. I don’t camp with that many city slickers lol

@@Indeewoods 🤣

@dusty1498 the rear pads were worn to the steel and the disc was grooved. Not having the engine brake working accelerated brake pad wear. New Yamaha one way bearing and pads/rotor works great now no noise.

​@@IndeewoodsAt least it was Minor

@stivic923 oh nice ya this road is right off that one.

@Indeewoods what side of the highway would this be off of? Greg cabin side, or the west side?

@stivic923 there’s a road near the cabin it was quite a ways down there.

Wasn’t to bad
