 Boom!! New @yamayahoo77 video intro is complete! What a week...

 Been workin' on a lot of stuff, stayin' busy and havin' fun. This intro came out exactly how I saw it in my head. Let's hope the @trailwarriors.life and @the.real.sportsman video intros go just as well!

 Please check out the new intro, and a clip from the end of the most recent ATV Cruise we did at the Rockingham Recreation Trail, and let me know what'cha think.

 Hope everyone gets out on the trails this weekend! 

 Let's goooooooo!!!

 What a BEAUTIFUL Summer Sunday morning for an ATV cruise!

 Wow, guys, cruisin' down thee ol' Worcester, Nashua & Rochester Railroad is super fun, nostalgic and very relaxing, especially on such a perfect morning. Excellent for the Soul!!

 This abandoned rail line would ultimately become part of the Boston & Maine Railroad, aka "The Mighty, Mighty B&M". Railed service on this particular line ceased in 1932, when the Boston & Maine closed to large sections, one from Hudson to Fremont, NH, and the other from Epping to Gonic, NH.

 Starting at approximately 10am, we rode for about 2.5 hours from Fremont to Derry and back. There are a few places to stop and relax along the way, and there is great scenery to be had, including wetlands. It brings a sense of calm and balance after a long week. An underrated ride.

 If you haven't been out, or are hesitant about riding this particular rail trail, I would recommend checking it out and enjoying it while you can. We never know when what little trails we still have will be snatched away from us! 

 GET OUT THERE!!! :D

 We made it! Rose up at 3am to get a head-start on things and made good time to Berlin, NH. Parked at Jericho Outdoors as the Sun was rising. On the bikes approx. 6am and started the longest ATV cruise we have ever done!

 This trip was full of all types of ATV trails, except heavy mudding, which is a good thing considering the heat and humidity, and the variety of trails and things to see along the way makes your head spin! The small towns and villages, the campers, trailers, camps and houses set back off a random, lonely dirt road...you can "feel" the energy of it. It made me want live it for a year or something, be an ol' homestead'r there in Stark, or West Milan, or maybe up in Dixville Notch or something. Wow!

 I also noticed some of the older folks living along the ATV-shared roads, the dirt roads anyway, won't even bat-an-eye at the sound or site of an ATV cruisin' by. Nope, lol, one older gentleman working outside his garage door didn't even look up from what he was doing when we drove by. At that time I really tried to imagine what he was doing, how long he had lived there, and how life would be if it were me there, sitting outside and working on something or enjoying a hobby. 

 Let's go for a ride!!

 Quite possibly one of the most beautiful weekends ever! Wow!! Every day the weather was gorgeous, hot in the sun, not too humid...just right for some ATV trail rides and a dip in the pool.

 We made it the furthest east on the quads that we have been yet. Bridges are holding. Trail is opening up. Summer is good!

 More updates coming ASAP, including a trip up North to Ride The Wilds NH, and some more high quality photos and 4K 60fps video of New Hampshire ATV trail riding. Could also be some suspension upgrades coming in the near future. Elka Suspension, maybe?? Hmmm......

 Stay tuned...... - #TrailwarriorsLife

   A perfect Summer Sunday for a little trail clean-up and bridge repair. Chicken 'n ribs, too! 

   The ATV trail out back hadn't seen us since the winter and it needed some attention. The two bridges were in      disrepair, and the trail was grown-in somewhat. It was time to bushwhack. A little while later we were back          on it and clearing brush, matting down the foliage, and reaching an ol' favorite spot on a pond just a stones          throw from the hut. 

   Teddy Pup came along for a cruise, too!

  And those "Shotgun Shells" were A+++! #BACON

 Hit up the Rockingham Recreational Rail Trail today with @the.real.sportsman!

 What a beautiful evening for an ATV cruise. Thee ol' railbed looks to be in great shape from what we could tell. An excellent ride with fairly smooth trail ridin' all the way through!

 BIGups to NH ATV Club for everything they do for these New Hampshire trails. It's simply amazing to still have access and be able to ride a quad in our home county, Rockingham. There is so much over-development around us it's scary!

 Several times during the cruise from Fremont, NH to Derry, NH and back to Fremont, I wondered to myself...."who wouldn't want to take a train ride through this beautiful rural countryside, farm lands and wet lands?" Even today, it's such a valuable right-of-way, but somehow its value is over-looked for the hustle and bustle of today's modern technology and Rat Race. Ugh!

 What a great night to be out. If you haven't been, we suggest you do...

 So the HMF programmer that came on the bike had to go. It was running too lean and not set-up properly. I wasn't willing to risk damage to such a fine motor and lose value in it. I'd prefer to have the motor run better than stock and perhaps preserve its durability and longevity as a properly running engine. 

 Eric @ EHS Racing has been nothing but excellent during this seemingly never-ending project, and I believe we finally have a properly running 2019 Yamaha Grizzly 700 Special Edition. I moved to the EHS Racing EFI Programmer, Barker's Performance slip-on exhaust w/ Quietcore installed, and these upgrades along with the already-completed EHS Racing air intake modification, my bike is simply SUPERIOR to what it was before! THANK YOU EHS RACING!!!

 Everything about my bike is improved...from idling to throttle feel & response, no "mushy" start to the thumb throttle, just a nice linear consistent feeling "all-the-way-thru", more power, more "GRRRRR", more everything. Did I mention no more backfiring / popping on deceleration? Wow, just drastically cut down on the pop, and now it only happens very rarely. I also did the AIS-block.

@yamayahoo77 2019 Yamaha Grizzly 700 SE w/ EHS Racing EFI Programmer & Barker's Exhaust

 EHS Racing air intake mod complete. YES!! I was finally able to pick up the necessary parts to start making my Yamaha Grizzly 700 run as it should, keep dirt and fine dust out of the engine, and remedy the "running lean" condition these ATVs are known to exhibit from the factory. 

 The EHS Racing "air intake modification" consists of a new positive-clamp aluminum intake piece by EHS, that allows a much tighter seal between air intake and air filter. This really cuts down on the potential for dust to get in to the motor, especially that fine dust that us trail riders sometimes have to run through. I feel much more confident about my air intake & filter system now and believe it is a TRUE improvement over stock.

 This modification is highly recommended for Yamaha Grizzly and Yamaha Kodiak owners (as well as other major brands) who wish to improve on Yamaha's air intake design, and help to better prevent dirt and dust from entering the motor. This works, period.

 Don't believe us? Just search Youtube for EHS Racing and some Yamaha related videos on there...Eric knows what he is talking about, has a dyno, shows the math, and you are left with a better-than-stock running ATV, and a huge smile on your face as you experience the measurable before-and-after difference of these particular modifications and upgrades to your machine.

   I went with a K&N Filter this time around as I will not be submerging my bike or pushing the limits of its water-resistance. If the circumstances require it, I will move back over to the UNI-type ATV air filter as I had with the stock set-up.

 Rock lights? Really?? YES! Git'n old, man.

 So here's another one of my "smart-ideas" lol. LED Rock Lights on the Grizz.....for lighting around the wheels under low-light conditions. Yes, they work. So they definitely aren't just for flash. These LED light pods up in the wheel-wells help me. 

 Buuut, I did want that one LED light strip up in the hood scoop, for that "Knight Rider" feel. We did manage to get it done, but unfortunately the kit I bought on eBay doesn't have the LED "chase" option. I have only solid colors. But still neat nonetheless, and getting inside the bike for wiring etc. was a good thing. 

 It was a great learning experience and another good time garage-wrenchin' with @the.real.sportsman. The lights work great, they aren't that difficult to install, and aren't complicated to operate. The real trouble is mounting them....if you aren't zip-tying them secure and are using something like double-sided sticky tape, make sure it is the strongest adhesive possible. Also, make sure to secure the wires up in the wheel-wells when routing them, especially if you run in the mud, water, skeg, etc a lot, because if the wires hang...they will pick up a bunch of debris and potentially come loose from the weight.

 The KFI TigerTail is here! Yayyy!! Ok, so we got the mount, the TigerTail and the ball-hitch adapter. Wow! Let's just say.....HIGH QUALITY.

 Everything arrived from KFI Products quickly and safely, with no damage and no B.S. After inspection and readying some tools, the install was a breeze. Because I decided to go a little "tighter" in, up-against the rear storage box, some extra elbow-grease was necessary to make the pin slide through. 

 The TigerTail was originally mounted differently, with 4 bolts on the mounting plate, but this lowered the hitch ball a bit too far, so the install was reconfigured and the unit mounted using only 2 bolts. Much better, much cleaner!

 I also ended-up buying another hitch ball...one with a shorter shank, and that really helped clean up the install as well.

 Being very particular about my builds and how everything comes together with the overall look, I knew I had to mix-it-up a bit and make it my own by painting my winch & tow hooks a safety-type of orange. Really makes the outfit pop!

 The last piece of the puzzle? Of course,...the Grizzly hitch-ball cover from CIPA. Once it was seen, it had to be had! Anyway, this seemed like the perfect "cherry on top" for this particular install. You can find hitch ball covers online, and I found my Grizzly bear version at Summit Racing HERE.

 I honestly couldn't be happier with the KFI TigerTail! It is considered an excellent addition to my Grizzly and wouldn't want to go without it. Fortunately, I have only had to use it once so far,......uh-hum, Polaris? :D

 trailwarriors.net HIGHLY recommends KFI Products and the KFI TigerTail towing system!
