			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last article we talk about <a href="http://blog.motosportsmax.com/2009/12/safe-off-road-go-karting/">safe off-road go-karting</a> , this one we enjoy some experiences of Pre-drive Inspection about off-road buggies.</p>
<p>Check the following items before you get on the BUGGY:</p>
<ul>
<li>Engine Oil: Check the level and add oil if needed. Check for leaks.</li>
<li>Fuel: Check the level and add fuel if needed. Also make sure the fuel filling cap is securely fastened.check for leaks.</li>
<li>Tires: Use a gauge to check the air pressure. Adjust if needed. Also look for signs of damages or excessive wear.</li>
<li>Nuts &amp; Bolts: Check the wheels to see that the axle nuts are tightened. Use a wrench to make sure all accessible nuts, bolts, and fasteners are tight.</li>
<li>Underbody &amp; Exhaust System: Check for and remove any dirt, vegetation or other debris that could be fire hazard or interfere with the proper operation of the BUGGY.</li>
<li>Air Cleaner Housing Drain Tube: Check for carbon deposits in the drain tube. If necessary, clean the tube and check the air cleaner housing.</li>
<li>Leaks, Loose Parts: Walk around your BUGGY and look for anything that appears unusual, such as a leak or loose cable.</li>
<li>Lights: Make sure the headlight, brake light and taillight are working properly.</li>
<li>Throttle: Check the free play and adjust it if needed; press the throttle to make sure it moves smoothly without sticking, and snaps back automatically when it is released.</li>
<li>Brakes: Press the rear brake pedal several times,and check for proper brake pedal free play;make sure there is no brake fluid leakage.</li>
<li>Engine Stop Button: When engine is running, press and hold the Engine Stop Button for two seconds to make sure the engine stops.</li>
<li>Steering Wheel: Check that the wheels turn properly as you turn the steering wheel. Cable: Check the cable housing for wear.and the fittings for looseness,replace or tighten them if needed.</li>
</ul>
<p>About Add water:<br />
1. Confirm joints of water pipes have been installed correctly firstly. Open the water filling cover to fill water until it is full.<br />
2. Start the engine after adding water completes. Rotate speed of the engine shall be controlled under 4500RPM. Until warming-up finishes, bubble appears on the water filling opening and the water level begins to reduce, at the same time, antifreezer shall be filled. After several times filling, no bubbles occurs, and add more water until it is full, then close the water filling cover.<br />
3. Add specified antifreezer into the auxiliary water tank, with water level between the lower and upper marks.<br />
4. Caution: the outlet water pipe is located at upper locations of the water tank and the return water pipe is located at lower locations of the water tank, therefore, start the engine after water filling.</p>
<p>If this is helpful for you, pls leave some comments for it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>BUGGY</strong> will provide you with many years of service and pleasure. You must take responsibility for your own safety and understand the challenges you can meet while driving.</p>
<p>IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION</p>
<p>There is much that you can do to protect yourself when you drive. You&#8217;ll find many helpful recommendations throughout this article. The following are a few that we consider most important.</p>
<p><strong>1. Follow the Age Recommendation</strong><br />
It is strongly recommended that no one under the age of 16 be permitted to drive BUGGY without adult supervision.</p>
<p><strong>2. Always Wear a Helmet</strong><br />
It&#8217;s a proven fact that helmets significantly reduce the number and severity of head injuries. Always wear an approved motorcycle helmet. We also recommend that you wear eye protection, sturdy boots, gloves, and other protective gear.</p>
<p><strong>3. Drive Off-Road Only or Street</strong><br />
If your BUGGY is designed and manufactured for <strong>off-road </strong>use only . The tires are not made for pavement, and the BUGGY does not have turn signals and other features required for use on public roads. If you need to cross a paved or public road, get off and walk your BUGGY across.</p>
<p><strong>4. Take Time to Learn &amp; Practice</strong><br />
Even if you have driven other BUGGY, take time to become familiar with how this BUGGY works and handles. Practice in a safe area until you’ve built your skills and gotten accustomed to this Buggy’s size and weight.</p>
<p>Because many accidents involve inexperienced or untrained drives, we urge all drivers to take a training course approved by the BUGGY Safety Institute. Check with your dealer for more information on training courses.</p>
<p><strong>5. Be Alert for Off-Road Hazards &amp; Read Terrain</strong><br />
The terrain can present a variety of challenges when you drive off-road. Continually &#8220;read&#8221; the terrain for unexpected turns, drop-offs, rocks, ruts, and other hazards. Always keep your speed low enough to allow time to see and react to hazards.</p>
<p><strong>6. Drive within Your Limits</strong><br />
Pushing limits is another major cause of BUGGY accidents. Never drive beyond your personal abilities or faster than conditions warrant. Remember that alcohol, drugs, fatigue, and inattention can significantly reduce your ability to make good judgments and drive safely.</p>
<p><strong>7. Don&#8217;t Drink and Drive</strong><br />
Alcohol and driving don&#8217;t mix. Even one drink can reduce your ability to respond to changing conditions, and your reaction ability gets worse with every additional drink. So don&#8217;t drink and drive, and don&#8217;t let your friends drink and drive either.</p>
<p><strong>8. Do not operate this BUGGY at night</strong><br />
Dark vision can greatly reduce a driver&#8217;s visibility and judgment. So driving at night is dangerous and can increase possibility for accident.</p>
<p><strong>9. Never run your BUGGY indoors</strong><br />
The exhaust from the engine contains a tasteless, odorless and poisonous gas called carbon monoxide.</p>
<p><strong>10. Keep away from moving parts of the BUGGY</strong><br />
The operator of the BUGGY should never place their hands or other parts of their body near any moving part of the BUGGY. Failure to adhere to this warning will cause physical harm to your body.</p>
<p><strong>11. Skidding or Sliding</strong><br />
The terrain surface can be a major factor affecting turns. Skidding a turn is more likely to occur on slippery surfaces such as snow, ice, mud and loose gravel. If you skid on ice, you may lose all directional control. To avoid skidding on slippery terrain, keep your speed low and drive carefully.</p>
<p>This article presents some of the most important information and recommendations to help you drive your BUGGY safely. Please take a few moments to read these tips.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Off Road Karting</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-25" title="Riding_off-road_go_kart" src="http://blog.motosportsmax.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Riding_off-road_go_kart1.jpg" alt="Riding_off-road_go_kart" width="599" height="360" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">uses a four-wheeled powered vehicle designed for off road use as opposed to the longer established activities of racing go karts used for racing on a paved road circuit. Off road karting is now a well established and popular activity with a burgeoning range of vehicles, options and adherents.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Just as the automobile is undergoing evolutionary changes, noticeably in the field of &#8220;off road&#8221; use, the smaller recreational vehicles called &#8220;Go Karts&#8221; have spawned a new generation of vehicle for off road use.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The origins of using a go kart sized vehicle for off road use undoubtedly had many stages of development and claimants whose home made vehicles were &#8220;the first&#8221; off road go karts. However as concerns manufactured products it seems the first was from Honda who released in 1977 a vehicle they called the Odyssey, essentially an &#8220;off road&#8221; go kart with a 250 cc two stroke engine, single seat, and a CVT automatic transmission. The main differences to the traditional racing go kart were a bigger size of tires (giving greater ground clearance and off road traction) and a roll cage.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This proved to be a very popular vehicle and in 1985 Honda made major upgrades to the Odyssey and released the FL350. Changes were an improved roll cage, 350 cc engine with electric starter, and a full front and back suspension system. Then in late 1989 Honda released the FL 400. In addition to the increased engine size (a liquid cooled 400 cc unit) it was available in an optional 2 side by side seating configuration and had its suspension improved to handle the extra load. However this had evolved into an expensive vehicle and sales were disappointing so Honda ceased manufacture in 1990.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Although today these aging Honda units are still to be found and have an enthusiastic following, their main achievement was to create a pool of enthusiasts alerted to the possibilities of off road small vehicle fun and keen to develop these possibilities.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Chinese manufacturers have notably taken a lead in production of the newest generation of small off road go karts and have rapidly spread the popularity of the activity, producing cheap and appealing.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The question of when an off road &#8220;go kart&#8221; becomes an off road &#8220;buggy&#8221; or when a dune buggy becomes an off road buggy or even if there is any difference will no doubt elicit many opinions and responses. Even manufacturers seem confused and the terms &#8220;buggy&#8221; and &#8220;go kart&#8221; are often used interchangeably for the same vehicle. However in terms of the evolution of go karts and buggies, it seems correct to point out that go karts are mainly constructed without a differential and are not intended to be registered for road use. They are purpose built from scratch not using second hand auto parts. All of these features are shared by many of the off road go karts on the market today. However in the U.S.A. the term &#8220;buggy&#8221; is often applied to the same type of vehicle referred to as a &#8220;go kart&#8221; in most other countries.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&#8220;Buggies&#8221; were originally made by converting existing vehicles (usually VWs) and were usually intended for both on road and off road use (mainly on sand or beaches) and the majority still are. However just as racing go karts have evolved off road cousins, so the dune buggy now has many versions of off road buggy and trail use is increasing rapidly. This type of buggy has undergone many transformations in body style and appearance and many are purpose built from scratch using all new parts instead of converted second hand auto parts and have the same style of frame and body structure as off road go karts.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">A simple and workable distinction would seem to be that &#8220;go karts&#8221; are not intended for certification or approval for &#8220;on road&#8221; use at any time, but a &#8220;buggy&#8221; can be.<br />
