The Rubicon trail is considered to be one of the most sought after 4×4 trails in the world. So, if your after a challenge this is the trail your after! The trail is located in the Sierra Nevada’s about 80 miles east of Sacramento. Highway 50 will take you through Placerville eventually bringing you to Ice House Road then continuing all the way to the Loon Lake trail head.
There are two entrances to the trail, Wentworth Springs or Loon Lake. The Wentworth Springs entrance is the original trail head, however, taking this entrance cuts out a portion of the trail. After you cross the Loon Lake spillway, you will be greeted with the once loved and feared Gatekeeper. The Gatekeeper, in its prime, was the very first series of obstacles that would determine whether or not a driver and his vehicle would make it through the Rubicon trail. Over the years, the Gatekeeper has been slowly broken down to a minimal challenge, only really requiring a set of 33″ tires and maybe a rear locker. After conquering the Gatekeeper the terrain opens up into a giant stretch of granite flats know as the Granite Bowl. The granite bowl is natural beauty in its rawest form. Eventually, you will find yourself at Walker Hill, this is where the trail starts to narrow down. Walker Hill is a hill climb accompanied by small to medium size boulders. Shortly after Walker Hill, you will come to the Soup Bowl which is a quick climb up a series of ledges, which is pretty difficult to rise to the top.
3. Oil: Oil and filter change are mandatory in maintaining an ATV. If not changed periodically, you may end up with a muddy engine block and bad oil which would harm the engine.
4. Block Treatment: The engine block as a whole need to be checked and cleaned every 6 months. While changing the oil you can use pressure pumps to clean the block and also force the unwanted oil deposits which can be harmful to the flow of the pistons.
Suzuki QuadSport Z400
Although the Z400 is the most expensive 400-class sport quad, it’s the most comfortable and loaded with features. Electronic fuel injection was added last year giving the Suzuki improved throttle control and stronger, more efficient acceleration. There’s nothing wrong with a quicker 400, right? For anyone not looking to compete in a motocross race, this is the Suzuki sport quad for you. Even if you do want to race it, the removable headlight, suspension and stronger steel-alloy chassis should appease you.
The resilient 398cc single-cylinder four-stroke has the most thrilling power and is the lone liquid-cooled mill in this quartet. It fires electronically and is outfitted with a nearly bulletproof five-speed transmission with reverse. I’ve ridden the Z400 with a group of 450 machines and, although underpowered, its abilities, speed, controllable powerband and comfort levels all made me forget about its power disadvantage.
At 46.9 inches, the Z400 is the widest of these four ATVs and has the best stock suspension. Despite its advantageous width, the four-stroke remains a stable stalwart in the dense woods and can carve through trees like a love-hungry 10-point buck. A 31.9-inch seat height helps it rail corners.
Fully adjustable piggyback shocks supply excellent suspension travel figures and superb tuning capabilities. The linkage-type rear end, with it’s lightweight aluminum swingarm and single shock, offers 9.1 inches of wheel travel. Up front, the fully independent A-arm suspension offers 8.5 inches of travel and tracks very well - point and shoot! In addition, this machine feels lighter on the trail than its 425-pound curb weight would suggest.
Ergonomically, the Z can appeal to riders of various sizes and shapes. The Z400′s signature T-shaped seat may be the best platform in the business and is definitely the most copied. The larger 46mm foot pegs aid in supporting
boots for aggressive racers and weekend warriors alike. The 20-inch rear tires are great for casual woods riders and admirably supply a good balance between straight-line traction and sliding.
For those who enjoy a custom look, Suzuki offers a limited edition Z400 with special graphics and black wheels, for an additional 0. The Z400 is in a similar predicament as the Honda 400X, seeing huge sales figures early on in
its history and market saturation more recently. However, the Z400 is Suzuki’s trail machine not the QuadRacer 450, which targets MX racers. Plus, the addition of EFI gives it a technological edge over the other guys.
7. ATV Inner Joints: The inner joints are vulnerable to breakage and tearing issues. They come directly under the ATV Boots and if the boots are torn, the joints are exposed which causes them to break because of direct contact with the terrain
