Hey man I have a 2005 trx 450r and it starts up then it dies if I don't keep throttle in and I am wondering why ?

[@EscapePowerSports]

hey there, hard to say without having it front of me as I still struggle to diagnose bikes I've got sometimes, but sounds like a might be a carb issue? maybe try a ebay carb kit?

Any chance of you showing how to grease the swing arm bearings? :)

[@EscapePowerSports]

great video suggestion idea, unfortunately I sold that quad years ago so I will add it the video list for when I get another one. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave a good video suggestion in the comments. Cheers

I have an 06 TRX 450 ER there is no grease fittings ???

[@EscapePowerSports]

hmmm, in hindsight that particular bike in the video did have aftermarket suspension so I wonder if the stock ones don't have grease fittings? I don't have a stock one to check, maybe see if the owners manual or dealer have any additional info as where the grease fittings are on that bike if there are any? let us know how it turns out as I'm curious and I appreciate you watching and taking the time to share that there doesn't appear to be any that year make and model. Cheers

Thanks for watching, glad it was helpful for you

Would the fitting fit a 2003 Rancher 350 manual 2W?

[@EscapePowerSports]

most grease fittings are the same size and can be lubed in a similar fashion to this video. As far as the location of the fittings on your rancher I'm not exactly sure because I've never owned one. Sorry I couldn't be of more help on that, but thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a question in the comments. P.S. Owners manuals and service manuals are the best source of information I've found for working on these machines ourselves. Cheers

[@jahudielvega8635]

Is it the same for stock suspension?

[@EscapePowerSports]

I would assume so, but I don't have a stock trx at the moment. Just take a look around and grease any fittings you find. (usually by the bushings where the suspension bolts to the frame) thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a question in the comments. Cheers

I dont think there is one grease point on my stock trx

[@Itsjake908]

Thanks bro

[@EscapePowerSports]

no problem, thanks for watching

[@arzellspencer4556]

How do you grease a dirt bike wen it makes squeaking noise wen you sit on it

[@magnumllama400]

Tell me too

[@EscapePowerSports]

hmmm it really might be a wide variety of things, from loose plastic bolts, to shock bushings, swing arm bushings can also be disassembled and greased as well. without the bike in front of me its really hard to say. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave a good thought provoking question in the comments. Cheers

[@cesarsolorio3801]

I have a question about the a arms Are they needle bearings in the sleeves or poly urethane ?

[@EscapePowerSports]

great question and I'm not sure, maybe someone with more experience will see this and chime in with a definite answer. I know on the bigger 4x4 atv's and the sxs's it's usually a plastic collar, sometimes with a metal rod running through the middle. Really not sure on the sport quads and sold that one a while back so no way for me to check it out. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a good question in the comments. Cheers

I didn’t find any fittings in my atv

[@EscapePowerSports]

hmmm interesting what kind of machine is it? it occurred to me after I posted this video that bike I used did have aftermarket suspension that likely had a different grease set up than a stock bike. Either way thanks for watching and taking the time to share your experience with this job in the comments. Cheers

[@joshuaaycock618]

I have a 300ex but I don’t see any Grease fittings how would i Grease it

[@EscapePowerSports]

hmmm not much to do if there's no grease zerks on the stock suspension , if its squeaky you can try spraying some wd white lithium grease ( amzn.to/3JDIs7E ) on the bushings and bolts where the a-arms and shocks bolt to the frame and mounts. Hope this helps, thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a good question in the comments. Cheers
