I have a 2008 yamaha grizzly that I ride everyday of the week. How often should I check the tire pressure for it?

Answer
What is the recommended tire pressure as by the owner's manual for this vehicle? The higher the pressure, like in bicycles, the higher the rate of leakage. My bike pressure is 75 psi and I have to add air each and every time I ride it, just prior to starting, I have an electric pump powered from the cigarette lighter outlet. Smaller tires do have higher pressures. If you ride every week and you check the pressure each week and each week the pressure is OK then you can go to checking every two weeks. I would check the tires for damage, cuts, general condition as they do a lot of work over non paved trails before you ride it just to make sure they are OK to ride. Do you carry a spare and tools? Best to be safe before you get going. OK? Good question. Best regards.

How long do you think a starter engine will last if used to power a childs electric car.?

non spinne

I have the bright idea to use a very powerful harley starter engine to power a car that I will weld together. I'm thinking of using my bikes orig tire with spockets in the rear and two smaller wheels in the front. Then I'll bolt in a 5 point harness (baby seat) onto the frame. I'll give it some whiskey bars and paint it flat black. Also if anyone could give me pointers on how the thottlw would work, that would be nice too. It will run off of a 12 volt. I've seen this size starter push a road king, so I assume that under light use, the starter could go a long way before burning up. FYI, this will be safe. I'm going to give it a 3 piston brake soft tail brake.
the first guy mentioned "because it has three speeds"...on the washing machine engine. I'd like to contoll the amperage that the motor is getting, so I will be contoling the speed and that is where I'm getting the idea that it will have a longer life span...whata u think?
I can weld.. and I have a welder. I'll stick weld it. It's not going to be pretty, but it will be strong. ...if I do it. Did the skateboard give out, or did you get a lot of life out of it. I know these things burn up fast, we are talking about using 5% of the power..and not for an extended amount of time. I really appreciate everyones responses.

Answer
A starter motor is incredibly powerful but not a great choice as the power requirements to make it run are atrocious, using a large lead acid would probabl only last about 2-3 minutes and lead acid is pretty much your only choice when running this much current. Your better bet is a DC motor that is higher voltage such as those used for electric bike kits,a dryer motor would be useless because its a DC motor. You may find a good powerful DC motor on ebay for less then a hundred bucks.
