What made you buy this pilot? I thought since you dislike ATVR you would not want a pilot that has a bunch of ATVR stuff on it? May I ask how much did you pay for it? What Engine is in it?

I bought the Pilot that Wolfskill had for sale viewtopic.php?f=4&t=13513

Afastcar was nice enough to pick up the Pilot and all the parts for me and store it at his compound until I could make it to his place to pick it up, the Pilot has a lot of the ATV Racing stuff on it from what I can see, below is a list of the stuff I seen on it if I am forgetting something Afastcar let me know.

LT kit, I am told this is the latest version (what ever that means) it has the custom axis shocks and the arms are not white they are a gray hammer tone finish.
Bump steer kit
Steering stablizer shock thing
New upper bolt on cage and body work.
ATVR Front bumper
Rear bumper (ATV Racing?)
Nerfs
Torque pipe (one piece head pipe)
39mm carb
Micky mouse intake filter setup
Digitron (model number later)
Beard seat
Fire wall
ATVR belly skid
ATVR Engine skid
Skid plates on the suspension arms front and back
Strange looking headlights
Assume Engine is ported some name carved on the cylinder and the tab on the head missing.
Power Bloc clutch.
Nets.
Bead lock rims all around (For Sale)
It also came with 2 sets of rear paddle tires (For Sale)


This Pilot is well molested and needs a lot of TLC!

The choke cable does not work its all locked up, rusted? wont know until I CSI, tried to start it nothing battery dead.

Afastcar had the battery on the trickle charger but when I tried to start the battery was dead, I had brought the battery that came with the basket case Pilot I bought in Vegas last year just in case this battery was bad, its a napa batter, who buys a napa battery for a ATV haha they are just the lowest cost battery napa could buy and plaster their name on.

While changing the battery I discovered the batter flops around in the battery box, its missing the rubber things that keeps the battery from moving ALSO missing are the rubbers the battery box goes into the frame so the battery is lose and flopping 2 ways in the battery box who races or rides with their battery like this ?

With my battery installed cranks right over then fired up the thing is super rich at idle, I wonder if they jetted it so rich at idle it would start with out a choke? Will not know until I CSI the cable and go through the carb.

First thing I notice is the silencer HAS NO PACKING IN IT, the noise at idle makes your ears bleed, its been run so long without packing the harmonics has worked all the rivets that hold the silencer shell on loose I would not be suprised if inside the core is damaged also, will not know until I CSI the silencer, also the silencer is almost falling out of the joint where it connects to the pipe.

By time I discovered all of this I had decided I am not going to ride the Pilot on this trip or until I can go over the whole Pilot and fix all the deficiencies, the former owner said ATVR just did a top end on the Engine so I am going to pull the Engine and go through the whole thing after ATVR having their dick skinners on it after all their shit Engine work that has crossed my bench I would not trust them to change the spark plug in my lawn mower without me double checking their work.

I didnt even ride it I let the younger more agile Afastcar take it for a ride then drive it into my trailer he can give a ride report.

Just skimmed through the old "for sale" thread that Afastcar re-posted here. I guess the whole "Argentina/sold it less than 10 hours" thing was a lie, huh? Cool that you got the pilot now, H. Can't wait to see you hoserize it.

This was explained somewhere here, it wasn't the same dude or something.

People ask what the offset of the front rims are I have no idea other than its the WRONG offset if someone can tell me the correct way to measure offset I will measure it.

All I know is the center of the tire (blue line) is suppose to be over the center of the ball joint (red line) if its not then its HARD to steer the Pilot because the LEVERAGE is working against you and every little bump the front tires hit it tries to rip the steering yoke out of your hands, if you had a handle bars like on a quad then you could at least have a little chance at fighting the leverage working against you.

your thinking of scrub radius. once you have that figured out then you can determine what offset wheels are needed

Call it what ever you want

your the one always trying to teach everyone the proper terminology for things, example motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) ((Internal Combustion Engine?)), vs Engine. well this is just an example. go to any site where they are building buggies and this one of the things you learn about building a a-arm suspension

i am sure that if you measured a stock pilot you would be close the measurement required, within that 1" in board. so measure where your scrub radius is and you can figure out what off set wheels you need.
