IMHO, It should be South of Nevada; Southern Cal, AZ or New Mexico. That was a LONNNNNNNNG pull! The White Mountains between AZ & New Mexico.

rocmoc n AZ/Mexico/Moab,UT.

Its going to be a long haul for me anywhere unless you all come up here. But the closest thing to call a cool trail would be the Black Hills in South Dakota or Rocky's in Montana. I vote for MOAB.

Another location central to a lot of Trooper owners is Quartzsite, AZ. We should try to find a location within a day drive for most. Driving two-three days to ride of a couple of days is not FUN!

Is Quartzsite better in the fall and winter? What kind of terrain?

Located 20 miles East of the Cal/AZ border on I10.

I am going to plot on a map a 300 mile radius from each person's listed location. This will provide an area that is common to everyone. I am pretty sure the only area will be Quartzite.

IMHO!

Looking at the data, Fall, Mountains & over a weekend.

My suggestions, Cinda's spot in UT, Rubicon Trail in Lake Tahoe (one of the premier off-road trails), Farmington, New Mexico (get Daven the local dealer to act as the host, incredible trails like Moab) or White Mountains of AZ. Timeframe - Sept/Oct '10. We already have commitments for then so would have to work around them. My two cents!

Side notes:

We plan to take the Trooper to Kino Bay (Mexico) & Rocky Point (Mexico) over Xmas & New Years.

We plan to take the Trooper with us to Baja this winter. Will leave early Feb. and return 4-6 weeks later. We will be traveling the full length.

Anybody interested? You are welcome to follow!

Good to start hearing from you again Cinda. Hope all is well. I think that getting plans for a fall jamboree is here. I sorta of spearheaded the first one so I'll stay out of the next one. But, I do look forward to going, I have no problem with driving a ways. However, if it's in Arizona or California, I'll have to drop one trailer at the boarder, pull the other one in and then backtrack to get the left behind trailer. This is OK so long as it's not 300 miles inside the boarder. Double trailers are OK for me in Nevada and Utah. Anyway someone needs to take charge and make it happen by consolidating everyones input and zeroing in on a place and time. I willing to go pretty much anywhere and at most any time. I only have a few important things comming up that only take one day and would take priority. Looking forward to seeing everyone again and hopefully we'[l see some new faces.

Just got back from Lake Havasu, AZ. Bad News if your pulling a bumper pull trailer and your trooper on a trailer behind it you will get a ticket, I found out the hard way. But if you are pulling a fifth wheel you can tow behind it. go figure. After an extra tank of fuel and an extra trip back to Havasu to vegas then to st george and my 175.00 dollar ticket I think I'm going to look into a toy hauler. Just thought I'd let you all know what AZ doubles rule is.

Sorry you got bit by the law but I believe that is the only way I have heard you can double pull in the Southwest. Trailer has to be a fifth wheel. TT pulls are just not stable enough. Oh well you will enjoy the Toyhauler. I have a Raptor 3612DS and the Trooper fits fine. I do only pull it 60 mph as in total it is a huge load.

WELCOME!

I just don't get it, that was my fourth trip down and back and never had been stopped before.

Thanks for the welcome

      Hello everyone.
      I recently bought a Can-Am Ryker and I'm looking to customize it with some accessories. I’ve seen a lot of options out there but wanted to get some recommendations from fellow riders.
      What are the must-have accessories for comfort, style, or performance?
      Specifically, I'm considering a windshield and better footpegs—are these worth the investment?
      Also, any thoughts on storage solutions like saddlebags or rear cases?
      Would love to hear your personal experiences with any mods you’ve done.

      Recently I had an overheating issue on my 2022 Coleman Outfitter 550 (Hisun UT550) and to check to make sure it was fixed I took it out for a ride around the block. After a couple cycles on the LED coolant meter, I took it for a couple mile ride and on my way back I heard a loud metallic snap then a grinding noise. It was still able to move under its own power but very slowly. I was about 2 blocks from the truck so 'I limped it home and up onto the trailer. I know I need to tear it apart and look for what broke, but anyone have a guess as to where to start? I'm seriously getting tired of this damn machine! 750 miles on it and already replaced the belt, wet clutch, primary clutch, clutch roller weights among a few other things. Seriously, this friggin machine has spent more time on the lift than on the road. I thought I bought this new because it was from the owner of a tractor supply, but he registered it under the stores name making me the 2nd owner voiding any and all warranties.
      Any Ideas what to look for would be appreciated.
      Thanks

      American SportWorks LM 650 won’t start at times. Starter won’t engage the solenoid just “clicks” much like a weak battery would cause. Battery was replaced and problem went away and then came back. Replaced positive battery terminal. Problem resolved then returned. Replaced negative battery terminal. Problem gone then returned. Replaced the positive and negative battery cable ends. Problem resolved and now returned. The repair lasts for maybe 12 starts, then the solenoid just “clicks” again as it will with a weak battery. So I replaced the ignition switch. Problem solved for a week. With each “fix” the problem is resolved but only temporarily. Does anyone have any suggestions ? To replace the starter is expensive especially if it’s not the problem.
