ATV Parts

There are various ATV parts and upgrades available for sale. Companies like Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda, Kawasaki and Polaris are the market leaders in ATVs; therefore, their parts are more available than lesser-known brands.

The various parts available are tires, batteries, gas tanks, brakes, cables, ramps, seats, exhausts, levers, seat covers, pistons, rings, gaskets, chain, mufflers, sprockets, bearings, seals, lift kits, heat fighter kits, fenders, bumpers, air filters, handlebars, and ATV exhausts. Another important part is an ATV repair manual. Some repair manuals are graphic in nature, and are more helpful.

Air filters also play an important role in increasing the pickup of an ATV. Installing a good air filter can increase the pickup of an ATV by almost one HP.

ATV guards and radiator grills are used to guard the ATV from damage due to rocks and debris. Two kinds of metals are used for these grills: stainless steel and alloy. Sometimes the stainless steel grills are highly polished, which gives them a mirror finish. They are also useful against ram-air and force-air effects.

The sub-frame guards are useful both to add to the grace of the ATV as well as guard it from damage. The sub-frame guard covers and guards the various parts of the ATV, like the exhaust system, electrical system and hot pipe.

Carburetors play a major part in increasing the pickup of an ATV. Therefore, a large high-performance carburetor is always preferred. Generally, carburetors are available in the market as part of a Carburetor kit. The kit comes complete with pre-jetted carburetor, choice of whirlpull type or thumb-throttle cable, manifold (if necessary), and all necessary hardware for an easy installation.

Crankshaft kits for ATVs are available on the market. The kits are sold complete with rods, top-end bearings and inner ATV crankshaft webs. The multi-ATV cylinder applications come with main bearings.

ATV connecting rod kits consist of an ATV rod, crank pin, crank pin bearing, top-end bearing and thrust washers.

Pet Ramps And Steps For Your Dog

Pet ramps and steps should become part of your dog's necessities from an early age for spinal health. When dogs walk on all four legs, any jarring forces are normally applied at a right angle to the spinal column. When a dog jumps down instead of using portable steps or a dog ramp, the impact pressure is absorbed into the front legs. The line of force is directed down the length of the spinal column, causing compression of the individual discs. This increases the risk that a disc may rupture or become herniated, causing a portion of the disc to protrude and pressure the spinal cord, which in turn typically inhibits nerve transmission. This can lead to pain, weakness, and major paralysis in the hind legs, and can affect abdominal organs from the resulting spinal cord damage.

Training your dog to use ramps and portable steps can prevent spinal damage.

A dog ramp or steps can avoid such trauma. This is especially true with the smaller breeds and dogs with very long backs, such as Dachshunds and Basset Hounds. Ramps or steps are more imperative for these breeds. You will want your miniature or "teacup" dog to use a ramp from the time you bring it home.

Often the miniature dog is too tiny for indoor steps to be considered a good option.

Smaller dogs, or breeds that are lower to the ground, may find it hard to climb stairs, or get out of a pool or onto a boat from the water. That's where a dog ramp can be a help, and also for larger dogs where reaching and lifting can be injurious to both you and the dog.

It's not the jumping up but the jumping down that causes the damage.

Puppies should not be allowed to jump up on people, run up and down stairs, jump up to high places where they are likely to jump off, jump off furniture, beds and in and out of cars. They should be lifted down from these places or, better, be taught to use dog ramps or steps. Puppies and adult dogs should be kept at the correct weight, and not allowed to become fat or obese, to alleviate pressure on the spine. Your pet ideally should be trained to wait to be lifted out of a car or given access to one of the many available ramp systems. Your canine's age and physical condition will help determine the correct ramp slope.

Portable steps are fine for pets familiar with, and physically agile enough to use, standard people stairs. Portable steps for healthy young and middle-age pets of any size provide a great way to get up and down safely from sofas, chairs, beds or most any spot in the house.

Restricting jumping activities is very important in preventing immediate and future cartilage and spinal disc damage. A dog ramp will not only make life more comfortable for your dog, but can help your loved pet remain more active and involved in your life, especially in its later years.

Nissan Murano Sport Utility Vehicle

"SHIFT_the way you move". It's not only Nissan's slogan, but the inspiration behind its newly redesigned and re-engineered 2010 Nissan Murano SUV.

First released in 2003, the Murano SUV is today competitively priced between $28,050 - $38,180. With many luxurious standard features, it's no wonder this crossover has often been described as "revolutionary". Sporty and chic, the Murano stands in a class of its own with the look of an off-road vehicle, designed for an urban lifestyle.

Nissan Murano SUV

The 2010 Murano crossover flaunts sleeker lines and bold headlight clusters. Available in S, SL, and LE, Murano comes in front- or all-wheel drive and combines the comfort of a luxury car with the power of a truck.

Attractive and affordable, the 2010 is not distinctively different than its 2009 predecessor, which was a finalist for Kelley Blue Book's Redesigned Vehicle Award.

Design

Available in double-stitched leather, aluminum, or wood trim, the Murano's stylish interior offers a standard six-CD changer and MP3 jack with some incredible optional features.

Along with Bose® premium audio, XM Satellite Radio, and DVD entertainment system, drivers can add on heated seats, rain-sense wipers, a navigation and rear view camera display, and a 9-inch backseat DVD screen. Privacy glass comes standard along with front and rear stabilizer bars and vehicle-speed-sensitive power steering.

On the Inside

Nissan's renowned 3.5-liter, DOHC 24-valve V-6 engine produces 240 horsepower at 6,000 RPM and has been on Ward's Top Ten Engines list for 13 years. This low-emissions engine achieves 20-25 mpg and features a standard key-less entry push-button start.

The multi-point fuel injection system guarantees a more precise delivery of fuel which improves cylinder-to-cylinder distribution, thereby allowing the vehicle to consume much less energy than it would with a carburetor.

Going for a Drive

Murano's second generation advanced Xtronic CVT™ (continuously variable transmission) ensures a smooth ride while promoting better acceleration and an mpg rating that puts it in the top half of its class for fuel efficiency.

The four-wheel independent suspension complements its sharp reflexes and overall excellent handling characteristics. Stopping on a dime is effortless with antilock disc brakes with BrakeAssist and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, and standard rear window and LED taillights allow ease in reversibility.

Optional features include a roof rack, power lift gate, bi-xenon headlights, and power moon roof. Drivers have extensive towing possibilities with Murano's 35 cubic feet of storage and a 3,500 pound towing capacity.

A Dirt Bike Trailer

The dirt bike has long been an excellent form of recreation and off-road travel. Due to the desire to ride these vehicles, as well as motorcycles, specialized trailers were designed to haul them back and forth. The design of these trailers makes it so the dirt bikes will not slide around or turn over in transit like they would on a normal flat-bed trailer.

A dirt bike trailer may be of two primary designs. These designs are open and closed. An open bike trailer is one that has covering. It is open to the air. A closed trailer design is one that encloses the bike to protect it from the elements. Beyond these primary designs there are variations that occur with each type. These variations are primarily in size. A bike trailer might be wide with a side-by-side design so that they can carry two or more motorcycles on the same trailer. A bike trailer might be narrow and designed for only one dirt bike as well.

The main features of a trailer designed to haul such bikes or motorcycles are the tracks installed that will keep the wheels of the vehicle from sliding around as well as proper tie-down points for the dirt bike so that it will not tip over. These trailers also either come with ramps or they may tilt to allow for the easy loading and unloading of a dirt bike.

While open trailers are a fairly common occurrence enclosed ones are a little more rare. This is due primarily to the greater expense of purchasing and operating such a trailer. An enclosed trailer tends to cost more than an open one. It will typically cause greater wind drag lowering the fuel efficiency of the towing vehicle. These types of trailers also happen to be heavier and this also effects fuel efficiency. However, enclosed trailers have several factors in their favor that make them superior to open trailers. These types of trailers protect the dirt bike from the elements, prying eyes, and anyone with sticky fingers. An enclosed trailer can typically be locked so that securing the bike without fear of theft will make long road trips with frequent stops less of a concern. It should be further noted that a trailer specifically designed with motorcycles and dirt-bikes in mind might even be built low enough to the ground that it doesn't significantly increase wind resistance thus negating some of the expense.

There are also collapsible or folding trailers that are available. These typically are used to overcome storage problems as they are sufficiently compact and allow their owner to haul a trailer in a trunk of a car when not in use.

Define Your Uses For All Terrain Vehicles

Have you always been interested in learning more about all terrain vehicles, but perhaps you weren't quite sure where to start? These vehicles can be a lot of fun, and there are many different types to choose from, so getting a bit of understanding about them is important when you are first looking at them.

There are many advantages to owning an ATV. For one thing, they are able to handle rough, uneven terrain much easier than many other types of vehicles. There are two main types of all terrain vehicles. There are sport ATV's and utility ATV's. Sport ATV's are used mainly for fun and recreational purposes. For example, many people enjoying riding through the woods on ATV's. This can be a great way to spend some quality time with your friends and/or family members.

There is a huge selection of ATV's out there that have been designed for a wide variety of ages. Therefore, riding an ATV is something that people of all ages can enjoy. If you own a farm, a utility ATV would be of great use to you. Let's say you have some tree limbs that need to be hauled away. Having a utility ATV on hand would certainly make that job easier for you.

As fun as ATV's are, there are a few safety tips that you should keep in mind. For starters, you should always be sure to wear protective gear, especially a helmet. Also, just like you should never drink and drive while driving a car or truck, you should never operate an all terrain vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. This is because alcohol can impair your judgment as well as delay your reaction time, which could possibly result in a serious accident.

Be cautious with allowing children to operate an ATV on their own. The only ATV's your children should be using are ones that are especially designed for their size and age. You should also never allow a passenger to ride on your ATV with you. This is because most all terrain vehicles are only designed to safely carry one person on them. The reason for this is that having a passenger ride on the back of your ATV often makes it much more difficult to safely control your ATV.

If you're thinking about buying an ATV, there are several excellent ones to choose from. Do your research and before you visit a store, have a good idea in your mind of the primary purpose that you want your all terrain vehicle for. This will help you tremendously when you get to a dealership, where you can quickly eliminate the ones that are not going to meet your goals.

How Online Competitors are Attacking Each Other with Feedback - Beat Them or Eliminate Them

In the world of the media, giving someone attention whether good or bad is a form of publicity and it tends to help the party receiving the attention to become more well known. Publicity then, good or bad, tends to help the overall individual or company, unless it's so horrible. General publicity is good , not bad, even if it's not favorable.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion of a product or service and we are fortunate to have a multitude of choices as well as prices. It's a fabulous thing that not everyone likes or wants the same thing.

The scary and unfortunate part of feedback is when a competitor will go out of their way to downgrade or attack another person's product or service with the sole intention of keeping traffic away from the other person's business for the benefit of their own business.

It takes just as much time to say something positive as it does to say something negative. Intentions of a person's feedback should be considered. Let's say for example, you don't like or understand something about their product or service. If you have good intentions and you are sincere and would be willing to offer positive criticism and advice to that person or company, it's totally possible to send that person or company an e-mail with your concerns and recommendations.

On the other hand, to publicly criticize a product or service and leave the comments and ratings for the cyberworld to see can be very cruel and even harmful to another person's business or traffic to their site. If that's your intention to ruin others, know that if others are following your same line of reasoning, you may be attacked someday or multiple times and it doesn't feel good.

Feedback is important if someone if operating in a manner to steal money fron customers and you can stop others from losing money . There are fraudulent parties operating with destructive tactics and that's great that the internet feedback can prevent people from dangerous financial perils .

The better we all get as individuals and companies, the better we serve others, our society, and the world. If you can help someone in cyberspace be better, please take the time to enlighten them instead of destroy them. Many people will thank you.
