Waiting on your videos is like waiting on the next episode of a good series on television week to week! I'd definitely prefer one long video. Thanks for taking the time of doing them. Very informative!!

[@rockspowersports]

Wow Thanks, I appreciate that! I’m trying to extend the videos, the next one should be start to finish or close anyways.

[@ericbartok8259]

I couldn't agree more. Powernation on the speed channel needs a show called rocks powersports. How could we petition for that???

[@danielbruinsma4049]

To be honest I couldn't tell the difference between this video and the other ones I appreciate everything you do for us

[@rockspowersports]

At least it’s not worse haha! Glad you enjoy them.

Love the new camera. The sound is 💯 percent better. Thanks for the videos. Keep up the good work.

Thanks, I’ll keep them coming.

Gotta say, since i first saw you vidoes till now, i watch every single one of them without even skipping a single stuff, this content is soul healing!

Wow thank you! Sure makes me want to keep creating when I hear things like that!

[@Specter8766]

Rock I love the upload schedule just wish it was 1 videos a day because I love to watch you in school when I’m bored

[@rockspowersports]

I try to get out as much as I can. Been messing with a new camera the past couple of days.

[@joeymac837]

The camera is excellent and the audio is way better, great videos.

[@rockspowersports]

Yeah I picked up a new mic a couple weeks ago, sounds great even outside. As long as I remember to wear it… I forgot in 1 part of this video, that’s why it got quiet..

[@johnnugent6516]

The new camera is doing great even can hear you but the old way sometimes can’t hear you very well Arkansas Wavin

Thanks glad to hear it! The new mic setup I’ve been using on the past few videos sounds pretty good.

Looks good to me , your video, nice and clear

[@rockspowersports]

Glad to hear it!

[@adammunger2288]

Rock! I no joke, watch every video that comes out. I like to put it on at night while I’m cleaning up and doing dishes, helps me decompress from the day. I was born and raised in VT (live in Connecticut now) but my Dad used to own an auto repair shop and the sounds of the tools and repairs brings me back to

[@dstoddard72]

Video quality is definitely better as well as your editing😊

Awesome, thanks! Glad you enjoyed the slower editing on this one.

Good evening !

[@newhampshirevideo]

You can't go wrong with the Sony . Audio is always the most important aspect of production though. There's a rule in the industry that people forgive bad video, but not bad audio.

[@rockspowersports]

I’ve been very happy with my audio lately with the Rode mic. Pricey but sounds good.

Thanks! Will absolutely leave some overhang as I’d like a larger area anyways.

[@juniorschmid4696]

I Love watching your videos! I do enjoy the longer videos. The new camera is awesome! thanks for taking the time to make your videos, I'm so happy when I see your new videos come out. Thanks again for doing what you do.

[@rockspowersports]

Awesome, Thank you! I’ll keep the videos coming.

[@ML-vk8ev]

I've been watching you since early on. Keep doing what you do. Liked the original test drives, but the repair vids are even better. Looks like I better get a torque wrench! Been guessing when I work on stuff up to this point.

[@rockspowersports]

Glad you’ve stuck around for so long. I’d like to bring some test drive videos back. Trying to get caught up on some work first though. Some things are certainly fine to just feel the amount of torque you’re turning. However for something like cylinder head bolts, I always use a torque wrench.

[@christianstanek8265]

[@jmj267]

My retention was 💯. Always wanting to know steps that you make to get things right. I don't plan on any service like this but I can be in the conversation. You did a bang up job. Mice really do make such a problem. Camera is clear and showed all the crud on the end of your awesome Milwaukee 🪛 up close. I watch you and 2vintage. Both of you tear stuff apart and explain well. Tried to get a syrup comment in there but I am soon to visit your state in the years ahead.

[@rockspowersports]

Glad to hear you made it through the whole thing! Nice, Coming to visit Vermont! It’s nice if you like the outdoors, most of Vermont is pretty rural so not a lot of attractions.

Do you want the truth, Rock? Lol ! I've been enjoying your videos for a while now, although in the beginning, I thought you were a polaris guy riding your Indy axys 600. Regardless, I still like your videos! Keep them coming!

Not sure if I can handle the truth haha! I did really like the Indy 600 however I’m not fixed on any specific brand I really do enjoy them all.

Hey Rock, love the channel! Question about the tight crank rod bearing- how long do you think this will last? Do you think it will come back around?

[@jamesgasser2213]

Hi Rock, watched your video on the Bombardier quest 500 repair. I have a similar 2002 Bombardier quest 650 with a low end engine knock under load and at startup. My question is, how much work is the engine removal and where are available parts located. I cannot find the major parts such as rebuild kits. I’ve worked on many vehicles but this is my first shot at an ATV.

[@johnnugent6516]

Arkansas Wavin

[@jeremynguyen6049]

I’m from Kansas, wonder where you are located? I wish you are close enough for me to bring my 2000 Bombardier Traxter 500 to rebuild the top end. It has bad rings, very low compression.

[@terrencewalsh453]

Is that primary clutch bolt left or right hand thread?

[@Marksworld...1]

Rock I have the same machine here and I tore out the carb cleaned it..the owner replaced the solenoid and external coil box...and got me to change the starter...but it still cranks slow. I can't find info on the valves someone mentioned they arent adjustable is this correct? Is my issue valves or maybe primary? The engine does turn over just not well

[@dennisturner6938]

What size is the bolt you put in the exhaust. Mine is missing and I’d like to replace it, but I can’t find anywhere on the net where it says what size the bolt is

[@summerbouchard1863]

I have a question about this exact bike would you happen to know if this bike has voltage regulator or is it built in with the cdi if it has a voltage regulator a hint to where it is located if its one the cdi then I guess I'm looking for one lol

[@terrencewalsh453]

Same make and model but I have a fast idle issue, cleaned carb, new carb to engine boot, adjusted throttle cable to max and idle adjust backed off to not even touching, still idling too fast to shift gears! I'm at a loss as to what to do next, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! BTW I just found your channel and watched your whole video on the Quest!

[@kevin64-ul9fn]

i just found my second one that had that issue. it seems the throttle cable for some reason shrinks and it pulls on the carb end. i had to take the thumb lever on the handle bar apart and with a burr bit i ground a noch in the lever where it contacts a pin so it had more play and your then idle screw worked again. hope this helps. usually it revs up when you turn handle bars hard if this is the problem.

[@terrencewalsh453]

@@kevin64-ul9fn I'll give it a try!

Tried your suggestion just now, worked like a charm! May have to bump up the idle a little now! Thank you so much!

Looks very similar to a 660 grizzly carb

[@scottroach7255]

You 100% need a sonic cleaner.

I have a smaller one, works good for carbs. It just takes time to warm it up then it takes a good 30 minutes to actually clean something… I usually just end up doing it by hand.
