NugShee Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 one word..................MAITENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!................got off your lazy ass and take care of your shee.................been riding and racing shee's mx for the past 6 years.......quit being so fuckin lazy and do some preventive maitence............dumbass....... huh? what is maitence? Just playing with you TAT Just think, once you replace it then its new and you wont have to do that for a long time. I dont think you need new carbs but for some reason you cant just rebuild them or have them bored then new ones arent that expensive. if you have any questions just ask us. Im sure lots of us can help you out. If you just dont want to deal with it then let us know what you want for it and your location and we may be interested. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton eyed Joe Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 not a millionaire, just a thousandaire.. Being a ten-dollar-aire don't cut it....... Hang out in a WalMart parking lot. You'll find some cash layin around eventually. My sister stepped on a $100 in the parking lot a couple weeks ago. I know....what the hell is someone that has $100 doing at a WalMart.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallrat Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 2 strokes require more maintenance but are easier to work on. It sounds like maybe a 2 stroke isn't the right bike for you. If you're all about the riding and want to take the bike to the dealership for minimal maintenance, than go get a 4 stroke. As far as losing money on the deal goes, sorry man, nobody to blame but yourself. Common sense says that when an engine isn't running right, you shut it down and figure out what's wrong. Sounds to me like you kept going on it, and f'd it up even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 im starting to feel the same way. all my shit blew at the same time. if i replace it all with new components ill have a new motor except the clutch. not sure what ill do yet though. time will tell, coupled with the wallet.

PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 I think it's more that you put into it what you want out of it. The more time and money that you put into it the better your shee will be. If you want to maintain the stock shee it's not going to cost you much. As you get away from stock you also can hurt your reliability, maintenance needs to be increased to compensate the lower reliability. My shee cam in non running form and now it's the best fourwheeler around I hardly have any breakdowns, I just have a tendency to break it.
