Take control, adjust your controls that is

Want to make your ATV experience more enjoyable?  Want to increase your ability to go those long rides with less fatigue in your arms?  Want to do all this for free?  Of course you do!  Adjust your controls my friend.

It seems so elementary but many people fail to do this after buying their machine.  Whether it s a new machine or a used one, adjusting the controls to fit your particular body and riding style will surely help you enjoy your riding that new machine even more. Here is how to do it.

First off think about your natural riding position. Do you sit most of the time your riding or do you stand most of the time? Put both index fingers straight out to rest on the levers. Adjust the clutch (where applicable) and brake levers to make as straight of a line from your finger up through your wrist, hand and arm. If your a standing is what you do most of the time make sure your in the “attack” position.

The wrong way

The right way

Adjusting your levers is somewhat subjective but a general rule of thumb is you should never have to reach way up or way down to pull in either lever.

EPA Stops Import of Some China-made ATVs

Over the last six to 10 years, we’ve seen more and more small ATV and motorcycle brands (often made in China) show up here in the United States. Many look rather decent, but have neither the dealership network, manufacturer support nor the financial stability to deserve a “stable” rating from off-road consumers and investors. Yet, still we see them enter the country and watch as consumer plunk down their hard-earned money for one, thinking they have a deal. The major ATV and motorcycle manufacturers have called for stricter import regulations for years and have received some help. Then there’s this news … which makes one even more leery of buying a non-familiar and unproven brand…

Wednesday, the U.S. Evironmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced it has withdrawn its approval of the import and sale of up to 200,000 gas-powered off-road motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles. The EPA reports faulty numbers for the machines’ tailpipe emissions. The withdrawal means the EPA says these models don’t conform to the its ATV emissions testing regulations and the original reported emissions stats could have been falsified to meet approval.  “This is the first time EPA has voided certificates of conformity for these types of vehicles and only the second time the agency has done so for any type of vehicle,” said the EPA release. This infraction could also lead to “significant financial penalties” for both the manufacturers and importing companies, according to the EPA.

The violating companies include:

U.S. counterparts of four of China’s largest manufacturers of these types of vehicles: Hensim USA (City of Industry, Calif.), Loncin USA (Hayward, Calif.), Peace Industry Group (Norcross, Ga.), and Seaseng (Pomona, Calif.).

The Chinese manufacturers are Chongqing Hensim Group Co., Chongqing Longting Power Equipment Co., Zhejiang Peace Industry and Trade Co., and Zhejiang Chisheng Industry and Trading Co.

Any ATV Will Do

Let’s get one thing straight, I absolutely love riding sport quads. There’s nothing like the freedom, speed and maneuverability. However, some of my recent media escapades have put me on and inside machines that feel sporty, but don’t qualify as 400cc+ sport quads. Here are some off-roading myths I’ve recently busted, so to speak.

UTV are heavy and for farming: False!

I never thought I would become a UTV fan, seriously. They’re boxy, big, heavy and have a glovebox and cup holders for Pete’s sake. But since more of my time is devoted to these four-wheeled off-road machines, I figure if I can’t beat them, so I’ll join them. Besides, UTVs can be sporty and fun and a riot to drive, especially models like the Polaris Ranger RZR S. Sure, it’s a different experience compared to racing in the woods on a 450 quad or roosting sand on a 700cc four-stroke, but the ride they offer still puts a smile on my face.

I'd seriously consider trading in my minivan for the 2010 Polaris Ranger RZR 4 Robbie Gordon Edition SxS. (Polaris image)

Two-up ATVs are for old farts: Incorrect!

Considering that I’ll soon be 38 years old, I guess I could almost qualify as an old fart. However, I’ve always viewed two-rider quads as something retired riders (60+) would purchase so they can take the misses on slow-paced cruises through the forest and to every available scenic lookout on the map. Some recent seat time on a couple different Can-Am 2-up ATVs has recently proved me wrong again. These utility quads, with their long wheelbase and rear passenger seat, can be every bit as useful as a normal 4×4 quad and ridden sporty. However, I find these four-wheelers offer the most fun doing what they were engineered to do. Riding double! Riding double has always been frowned upon in the ATV industry, but it’s more readily accepted when it’s done a quad designed to carry two riders.

There’s just something about riding a quad when you have another person with you. Laughter, cooperative body English in turns, conversation, two dirt moustaches instead of one and, of course, there’s the important fact that you only have to buy one machine. If you’re brave enough to ride aggressively, a 2-up ATV can be an extremely fun and sporty investment.

Even smaller sport models like the Yamaha Raptor 250 can entertain for hours. (By Jerrod Kelley)

Small Quads are for beginners: Error!

Small-bore sport quads (say 300cc and below) aren’t fun, or so I thought. Sure, I’ve ridden entry-level machines several times (I even raced a KYMCO Mongoose 300 at a GNCC) and have been thoroughly entertained for the most part. However, when it comes to riding aggressively (read: pinning it and cornering like a racer), I would certainly choose a bigger sport vehicle (or even one of the aforementioned machines).

Recent seat time on a Yamaha Raptor 250 has proven me wrong, again. Sure, the platform is rather cramped and the power is nothing like a 450cc YFZ450R (or comparable 450 sport quad), but it sure beats sitting around. Everyone always told me the little Raptor (aka the 250, not the new Raptor 125) was a gas, and now I can confirm the same thing. In fact, I would pay money — though not very much — to see the GNCC ATV pros and top ATV MX racers battle it out on Raptor 250s. I think it would be a classic race!

I hope the ATV industry continues to surprise me and change my attitude toward ATVs and UTVs that don’t fit in with my original definition of fun.

Yamaha Grizzly ATVs Recalled

Yesterday the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) sent out a release (Alert #10-733) stating Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A., of Cypress, Calif., in cooperation with the CPSC, has voluntarily recalled about 20,000 all-terrain vehicles due to an issue with the steering column support.

The release says the assembly can crack and cause the rider to lose steering control, posing a risk of injury or death to riders. Yamaha announced it had received 19 reports of incidents involving the recalled ATVs. No injuries had been reported, according to the release.

The Yamaha ATVs involved in the recall include both the Grizzly 550 and Grizzly 700 models. The ATV recall involves non power-steering Grizzly models and does not include Grizzly models with Electronic Power Steering.

'Nail'd' ATV Video Game

I have to credit Joystiq.com for reporting a new ATV game soon to arrive for the XBox 360 and PlayStation 3 (PS3). The game, “Nail’d” by Deep Silver is associated with developer Techland, which Joystiq.com says introduced a first-person shooter success story in “Call of Juarez” and its follow-up.

After reading the brief Joystiq.com listing, I had to check out “Nail’d” for myself. I went to Deep Silver’s Web site and I liked what I saw. Cool music, nice game footage, obscene terrain challenges and a whole lot more. I never played “Pure”, so I can’t compare the two games. Either way, it looks like it’s almost time for this guy to purchase a PS3 – I know my 8-year-old would dig it.

GNCC ATV Racing: Borich Wins At Muddy Loretta's

Mother Nature, mud bogs and even a class of fellow Pro Class racers couldn’t prevent Yoshimura Suzuki’s Chris “Big Finish” Borich from posting his third straight Pro class victory on the Can-Am Grand National Cross Country series. In using a style that has become more his trademark and not just a game of chance, the Pennyslvania-based pro came from behind and passed late in the race to secure the win the Round 5 overall at the Acerbis Loretta Lynn’s GNCC in Hurricane Mills, Tenn. GNCC Racing said the ATV racers described the course as “wet and muddy” and said an “all-day rain pummeled” the dude ranch in the middle of Tennessee. Despite the dismal conditions and three other riders contesting him, Borich proved his resiliency and also made it clear he is the man to beat in 2010.

Borich summed up his performance in a GNCC Racing press release, by saying, “I worked back up behind McGill, and I picked a line that he looked like he was going right and then he came back the other way and we kind of came together and I was able to get around him. It’s great to get another win, and I had a lot of fun battling these guys.”

Borich has now won four of the first five races and has extended his points lead over Yamaha’s Taylor Kiser by 22 points (145 to 123).

Rounding out the Pro class podium were Adam McGill (Can-Am) and Donald Ockerman (Yamaha). McGill led for two laps and held the leave before Borich passed him late in the race. Ockerman put in his best race of the year to find a spot on the podium. Kiser salvaged a fourth-place ride to stay within striking distance of Borich for the points overall and is 30 points ahead of McGill, who sits in third.

In a GNCC Racing press release, McGill summed up his day with, “It was crazy out there. Someone would go up a hill and the mud would fill in the ruts and you couldn’t tell how deep they were, so it was kind of scary, but it was good to get out front and be in the hunt.”

Biggest Movers 1:

As long as Borich keeps passing for the win on the final lap, he’ll always deserve a spot on this list. McGill deserves credit for charging from fourth place after lap one to first place during the final lap. Despite dropping a spot to Borich, he still put in one heck of a race to earn a podium visit. Two other pros get kudos from me for their late-in-the-race efforts. The first being Ockerman, who moved from fifth on Lap 2 to third on the final trip around the soaking-wet Loretta’s course. His 32:29.656 time on Lap 3 was the fastest of the day and ensured he made the podium!

Let’s not forget about Bicknell, Indiana’s Ryan Lane, who rode his Honda to fifth place in the horrible conditions. It was Lane’s first GNCC race of the year and he moved from ninth place after the second lap to fifth by the time the checkers flew. There’s one word for that: Awesome! Johnny Gallagher also gets a thumbs up for effort as he charged to sixth on his YFZ. He moved from ninth after Lap 1 to sixth place by the end of the race, which was good enough for his best finish of the season.

Biggest Movers 2:

This spot is usually reserved for those who go the other way, sadly, in the final results. Unfortunately, Can-Am’s Chris Bithell made the list. He sat in fourth place at the end of Lap 2, but couldn’t complete the final lap and had to settle for 12th in the class and 84 overall. It was his second finish out of the top 10 this year.

After putting in finishes of seventh, seventh, fifth and six in the first four races, Jeffery Pickens was in position (third place after first lap) to post his top finish of the year, but fell three places after another lap. By the end of lap three the pro dropped to eighth place, for his worse finish of the year. However, on the flip side, the Pennsylvania race has to be relieved with an eighth place (as opposed to a DNF) in a mud race. And that fact that he’s still in the top five in the Pro class points race.

5-for-5

Six racers have posted 100 points (perfect scores) by winning all five rounds in 2010. Four riders fell off the list after the Loretta’s mudfest.

• 90 Modified (12-15) – 1 PIT 003 LEVI COEN 1 1 1 1 1 100
• 4×4 Lites – 1 CAN 233 KEVIN TRANTHAM 1 1 1 1 1 100
• U2 – 1 CAN 206 CLIFTON BEASLEY 1 1 1 1 1 100
• Utility Senior (45+) – 1 CAN 709 FORREST WHORTON 1 1 1 1 1 100
• Schoolboy (13-15) A/B – 1 HON 239 BRADEN HENTHORN 1 1 1 1 1 100
• Women Novice (15+) – 1 HON 244 CHEYANNE SHADRON 1 1 1 1 80

Super Simmons

Dave Simmons just keeps impressing me. He’s in the 50+ class and has won four straight morning overall, including this sloppy race in Tennessee. And that’s with several classes of 4x4s breathing down his neck! Round 2, didn’t register because he won the Sportsman A/B class (non-points class). However, the last three event did, as the Ohio racer beat every other a.m. participant and 50+ competitor to the finish line. Had he raced in Florida, he may be on the “100 list” above. An interesting side note: Class points leader Donnie Pruett has yet to win the class in 2010, but still has 82 points and a 22 point lead over Simmons.

Another note from this class (according to Ken “Pappy” Hill on Facebook): You can help support Super Senior (50+) competitor Glen Pritchard (West Hamlin, W.Va.), who is dealing with an illness, by buying a T-shirts. They retail for $20.00. To order: Send an e-mail to: Cre8tivedesigns1@gmail.com (Brandon Sturdivant) Include: Name, quantity, sizes and shipping information. When order is received you will receive an e-mail giving you payment information. All Proceeds will go to Glen’s medical expenses.

MX Images From ATV Pub

I like it when companies find new ways to interact with fans and potential customers. David Screws of the ATV Racing Extra (ATVRE) has announced he’s offering a free photo page/slide show – sponsored by Mushin Racing – that showcases the 2010 ITP Tires Moose Racing AMA ATV Championships presented by Parts Unlimited.

You can also download an image and save it to your computer. If you want the high-resolution image, you have to e-mail Screws and do a few more steps and you’ll soon have the image in your possession. Most sites include a watermark, which provides ownership info and a marketing tag, but ATVRE and Screws don’t appear to being that.

I think this is a nice move by a guy who’s passionate about the sport. Of course, you make his mailing list, but it could be worth it to grab an image of your son, cousin, grand son, sister, dad or of your favorite ATV pro like Dustin Wimmer or John Natalie.

Not every site offers free images, so take advantage of this offer. What’s your take on this move? Marketing move? Fan-based interaction? Deserves a thank you? Creative way to share more images with his readers? Here are two of many of the images fans can download.

4-H ATV Safety Program and Interactive Site

Kudos to 4-H!

It looks like the 4-H Organization is taking a larger stance on youth ATV safety and has the full support of the Specialty Vehicle Institute of America and ATV Safety Institute. The 4-H ATV Adventure Online recently announced a new ATV safety mini site “to promote safe and responsible use of ATVs, thereby reducing accidents and injuries that may result from improper ATV operation by the rider.”

I’m a big fan of this new mini-site approach and the use of online interaction for the modern young adult and more e-savvy adult. The addition of the computer game is a plus for the younger generations. This effort to teach and preach ATV safety is yet another example of how major organizations with a powerful influence over our youth can give back and educate about ATV safety. I applied for membership and I plan on having my son and daughter, ages 8 and 6, experience this site. Yes, I will also use the site’s valuable resources and info to brush up on my ATV safety knowledge and practices.

The site includes many interactive programs, including an e-Learning course for all riders, new video game, safety videos, tips, calendar, member board, news and ATV safety links. [Read more]

Could Creating A 'Traveling ATV Club' Curb Illegal Riding?

The Examiner (A paper representing Pennsylvania communities Allentown/Millstone/Roosevelt/Upper Freehold) had a front page story entitled “ATV Club Considered For Roosevelt Residents.” In the story  – written by Correspondent JANE MEGGITT -an area resident and member of the town’s recreation commission, wanted his town to create of an off-road vehicle club to stop kids from riding illegally on public land.

Meggitt reports that the man wanted adult volunteers to provide training for club participants (adult supervisors and riders alike). It also reported the man wants all involved to sign a release form and argues ATV riding is a sport and it should be funded if it’s keeping young riders safe and curbs illegal riding. The story said he also asked the town to fund the club so it can take the kids to a legal riding spot a couple of times a month to help them “get their ATV fix” so to speak.

Here are the issues with this story:

The town doesn’t want to fund anything or mess with the liability (insurance).

The man is concerned with the kids’ safety and continually having to have police involved to curb illegal riding. And he essentially calls ATV riding a sport that deserves the town’s attention.

What’s your take? How should communities step up and fix issues like this. A) Continue to police the illegal spots and punish the repeat violators (confiscate the ATVs)? B) Side with one of its residents and fund something that could protect its young people and the community? C) Other options?

Creamer Victorious At Ballance Moto-X

A few years back, someone once told me “Josh Creamer, would sign a contract for a cheeseburger.” I don’t know if they were making fun of him or just criticizing his approach to being a professional racer. Either way, that person’s opinion has proven to be erroneous. Creamer, who signed his first pro contract with Kawasaki in 2007, has more than lived up to his hype as one of the top pro ATV racers in world. First, he did very well with the Jimmy White-led Monster Kawasaki teams. Then he signed a full deal with Suzuki for 2010. This past weekend he earned his most  impressive overall at Round 2 of the ITP Tires/Moose Racing AMA ATV MX Championships presented by Parts Unlimited. The Pro class win was Creamer’s first of the year and, more importantly, his first career Pro MX overall and first under the Makita Rockstar Suzuki team banner.

The victory made the Pro class points a lot more interesting as Creamer pulled to within four points of teammate Dustin Wimmer, who has 88 points and the other Pro class victory in 2010. Creamer, who also scored some bonus cash for the grabbing the Moto 2 holeshot, told me he wasn’t particularly happy with how his practice session went, but was more than thrilled with the final result. “When it came to race time, we did what we had to do,” he said.

“The second moto we just checked out. It just worked out really well. I’d like to thank my whole team under the Rockstar Makita Suzuki tent, and Yoshimura and all the sponsors we have. Everything’s just going really well this year,” he elaborated in a Racer Productions press release.

Joe Byrd finished third overall for his podium of the season, but was knows he has a tough fight against the Rockstar Makita Suzuki teammates. He said in the www.atvmotocross.com release: “The race could have been better, but we had a couple gremlins bite us. My goggles broke in the first moto and I couldn’t see, so the first moto was definitely not good to me. The second moto was better. We came out second and then took the lead, and I had a good battle with Creamer but I screwed up and he passed me back.”

Chad Weinen’s 6-3 finish was good enough for fourth place and keeps him in striking distance of the points leader, just 15 points behind.

Biggest Movers 1: Byrd, who said he’s in charge of a “true privateer program,” did well in Moto 2.  The longtime pro finished in the seventh spot in Moto 1. However, in the second moto, he challenged for the
win and actually held the lead for the first six laps before an error allowed Creamer to pass him. His 7-2 score put him on the podium.

Reigning Pro AMA ATV MX Champ Dustin Wimmer (Rockstar Makita Suzuki) also put in two impressive rides, considering he got off to sluggish starts in both motos. After lap 1 in the first moto, Wimmer was in seventh place. He recovered to move into third. In the second moto, Wimmer was in sixth place after the first lap, but moved into third place. However, this time he dropped to fourth before the flag was waved. The 3-4 finish was good enough for second overall and he retained the points lead heading into Round 3.

Also in Moto 2, Pat Brown showcased some speed on his Honda as he motored from 16th all the way to eighth place to salvaged a 12th place finish and avoid a horrible weekend. Nick Denoble and Cody Grant also deserve a little praise for their “never-give-up” attitude. Each rider gained at least five spots by the time the Moto 2 checkers flew.

Biggest Movers 2: John “Ironman” Natalie. The Can-Am/Motoworks won the Moto 1 holeshot and than went wire-to-wire to win it. That put him in position for an overall. However, mechanical trouble in the second moto hurt Natalie’s shot at the podium. He sat in fourth place after two laps, but his day ended shortly after that. Natalie’s 1-17 finish, resulted in an eighth-place overall.

Harold Goodman also had some Moto 2 trouble, dropping from seventh place after the initial lap to 13th at the end of the race.

Pro-Am 2-fer
The Kawasaki-mounted Joel Hetrick was a perfect 2-for-2 on the weekend in both his Pro-Am classes. Hetrick edged Casey Martin (Polaris) and Chase Sapp (Suzuki) in the Pro-Am Production class, notching a 1-1 moto scores for the win. He backed that up with another 1-1 moto combo in the Pro-Am Unlimited ranks to beat Jeremy Tulenchik (Honda) and Andy Travis (KTM).

Perfect Thus Far
