I don't know if it's just me , but our search button option is the pits . I'm trying to look up " JRD Graphics Kit" and it won't allow me , cuz JRD and KIT are under 4 letters . Is there any way to get around this?? If not can we fix this ?? Half the time I try and use the search , I get an "error" message also .

Maybe I'm doing something wrong??

Anyways .... anyone know where I can find a picture of a JRD graphics kit for a Yamaha YFZ450 ... or any other quad for that matter??

Thanks

Wow, I thought everybody knew that.

You can't search for anything under 4 letters. But you CAN search using wildcards (the * symbol). So the easiest way is to take a three letter word, add a wildcard, and it becomes 4 letters.

Hence, JRD*

The wildcard doesn't even have to be a letter, it will also return a hit in a space, so it will find the three-letter acronym JRD.
