At my oldest son's (the one who buys stuff and hardly uses it) last week handling the sale of his motorcycle. I see what appears to be a new Quad in the garage. Had this conversation with him yesterday :
ME : , Jase, did you get a new Quad?
J: Yeah, last year.
ME: what did you do with the side by side
J: Still have it
ME: you need a plow for that Quad
J: Nope, have a big plow on the P/U
Me: But, I may need a plow
J: Then buy one and put it on my Quad and come get it if they call for snow.
Me: Nope that 's a PITA (notice the hook is set)
J: then take it down your house
ME: no room
J: Wait, Dad..it would be good for me if you keep it at your house for the winter, that way I can put my car in the garage.
ME: I'll try to figure something out
J: OK, I'll have company pay for plow , you give me cash
ME: Let me think about it..you already have a winch right?
J: Yeah
It appears that I may have a $10,000 piece of snow removal equipment for this winter for $400!
BUahahhahhhaha.....I may have taught him everything he knows....but I didn't teach him everything I know...

Cranking on the Fugly .... I've got a funny vibe coming in around 2400-2600 RPM.
I suspect my:
1. Front motor mounts
2. My current "tune" in the ECM (Power Vision)...or ....
3. My drive belt is a wee bit on the loose side at 3/4" deflection (Manual says 9/16" max). That could possibly set off a certain vibe.
Motor mounts now re-torqued and done. Were perhaps 10% to 15% loose of torque spec.
Will play with the tune soon. Didn't have time for a test run.
Anyone have experience with a possible belt-induced vibe?

Definitely prayers for the victims and families of victims from the tragedy in Las Vegas last night.
Too many wackos out there.
Perhaps as a bit of needed distraction, anyone relate to the symptoms or thoughts above?
Thx my friends.......

Wow, what a screwed up weekend...
Yesterday morning while hunting, find out Edmonton had a terrorist attack...
Wake up today and hear about the mass shooting in Vegas.
What the hell is going on in this screwed up world?

Morning, Stan.
I think it is unlikely your belt is causing your vibe problem. Motor mount is most likely suspect.
