I havn't been on QuadCrazy for over a year, betweeen getting out of the Military and relocating my family, and starting a new job things have been crazy. The site has changed and grown alot. I like the new look the hosts are doing a great job. Sadly i havn't done much riding either since Christmas when my 400ex was stolen. But i recently purchased a 2008 450er and I plan on putting some hours on it!

Yeah I think that is a one helluva cool looking quad. I was kind lusting after one at the local dealer. Thanks for you service. I just had a friends son get back a couple of weeks ago. He is now changing from 1st Calvary to 101st Airborne. :patriotc:

      Where you like to ride and what riding does for you?

      I like to ride in wooded and grassy areas. It takes my mind off the everyday routines and helps me deal with my father's cancer. Also gives me a reason to get involved with forums like this one.

      Help New to a Suzuki 2001 king quad 300
      By mmikesell
      First post here need some help/advice. I bought a 2001 king quad 300, vin number JSAAK43A212111871. I have been trying to do some basic maintenance as it runs but doesn't idle all that well . I want to take out and clean/repair the  carb but when looking for parts it ask for model X Y K1 K2. How do I know which model I have? I have tried some vin decoders but they haven't told me. If anyone could recommend a carb rebuild kit for my quad Id appreciate it. Also any tips on tracking down an owners manual?

      1997 Kawasaki Prairie 400 4x4 - issues post ring job
      By PIYIRIO
      Hi all - I recently had a shop fix this quad and it hasn't been right since. The jug was resealed as it was leaking, the rings were replaced, and the valve stem seals replaced. Shop said the cylinder walls were great so nothing was done there. The motor still smokes, heavily on startup and all but quits once warmed up. Enough that I can live with it if I can fix what I came to ask about. I mentioned this work because since I've gotten it back it seems like it has power but tops out at a much slower speed than before. It's old so I don't have a speedo but I pulled out my phone at it tops out at 25 mph. I know before the work, I was getting up to 45+ mph... It's so bad, my 10 year old daughter is pulling away and straight leaving me in the dust with her governed Polaris 90.
      Given the work done, what are some thing I could be the cause of such a drastic difference? I immediately thought timing but the marks appear to match up with a youtube video I found... no idea if it's correct though. It sat in another shop for 2 months and they gave me an $800 quote just for the starter... it pull starts fine. 
      FYI: I would take it back to the original shop to figure out but I had some issues that make them a no-go for me.
