Heres today's silly question--what is the size of the lug nuts?  I  tried to pull the front wheels off and all the nuts are on so tight that they rounded off.  I have a nut extractor kit coming but will need to but new lug nuts.   Thanks

Yeah that sounds likely.

And they could be 14 or 17 mm hex. Both are common. If you can't find kawa nuts, one of the other jap bikes will have the same size. They are toughened nuts so best to get some genuine rather than common old nuts from the engineering supply shop.

If you searched on a jap car wreck you would find nuts with a flange built into them, a part of the nut. Those are toughened too and would do. They would be on the suspension, engine, gearbox.. If they have a separate washer mounted on the nut, but able to turn, those aren't toughened nuts. The tough ones have a flange as part of the nut.

Thanks,  14mm is the size of the nut--10mm threaded hole.  I won't need them for a few days,  tie rod ends need replaced along with brakes.  Ridiculous how tight these are

      I’m brand new to 4 wheelers and just bought a 1987 Yamaha Moto 4 350. It has good compression and fuel, but no spark. I’ve looked high and low trying to find how to test all the components of the ignition system, but can’t find anything. This has a new CDI box on it, but I suspect it might be the stator. How do I test the stator on this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

      i just picked this up. was told ran fine but overheating issues led to replacing head gasket and head. has not ran since. he is not a mechanic but helped someone else who he could not get back to finish job, got aggravated and put up for sale. i was thinking timing issues. i have 110-120psi on all 3 cylinders so i think valves are correct. dont know about distributor yet. however i have no spark. i have no power going to ignition coil. tried to follow white wire but gets lost in wire harness. does anyone have a wiring diagram? can anyone tell me what conditions have to be met before starting. motor turns over so i would think all safeties are met but you never know.

      Hello all! I’m new to the 4 wheeler world, but not new to the mechanic world. I was a diesel mechanic for many years and last year got into jet skis. I just bought a 1987 Yamaha moto 4 350 and now learning the ins and outs of 2 stroke engines. Looking forward to learning all the things.

      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?
