I just bought a 2004 Suzuki Z400 from some guy in utah. i brought it all the way home in wyoming. it runs fine at first. then after awhile of riding it starts bogging down and choking up and dying. then it won't start for awhile like it's over heated. but the Temp. light and fan don't turn on. it's some kind of endurance problem. any help?

How long is a while, I have the same quad and my fan usually comes on within 5 to 10 minutes of riding. Also check to make sure the radiator itself actually has coolant in it Ive found mine empty before but the fill bottle on the side was full. Without fluid the sensor on the radiator wont read to turn the fan on. Im not sure this will fix your problem, but I'd check it your fan should be coming on.

being a 2004.

check your choke cable.

There are lots of LTZ400 that the choke plunger in the carbi or the cable gets rusty and when you pull the choke on, it cant turn off. Even tho you and push the thumb lever back to its starting spot, the plunger can still be out making the bike run rich with fuel and stop the bike and kill the spark plug.

      My first trailer project.
      By Frank Angerano
      So I decided to pick up a small trailer if I could get one for the right price.  I found this one for a few hundred bucks on Craig’s list.  It is  a galvanized trailer which is exactly what I was looking for. The wood was shot and needed some minor repairs which I could care less about as long as the chassis was good. 
      I striped it down and put a new deck on. I had some vinyl realtree graphics that I had laying around so I added them to the fenders which I think worked out well. Very happy with this little guy.  
      I'm having the iron workers at my jobmake me up a few lightweight side rails that will have a 22 degree bend in them to accommodate the tires that slightly hang over the edge and will incorporate some tie down points as well.

      I just bought a rare beast!

      Hello All
      I'm kinda new to ATVs. I just bought a 1987 Suzuki quad runner 230 Dual Range. I'm having a problem finding info on it. It's very clean, only 2.800 miles. The front wheels are only 30 in.center to center. I was thinking about adding wheel spacers to give it more stability. I realize the added stress on ball joints and bearings. I'm wondering if there are any other concerns? Any input is greatly appreciated!

      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.
