Hi,

New to the site, and atv's, but have been riding on 2 wheels forever.

I just purchased an 07 king 450, and didn't notice til I got it home

that 4 wheel is displayed on the gauge all the time. This is regardless

of the position for the push button 4 wd. I haven't had the opportunity

to put it up on blocks to confirm all 4 are turning. Is there a fuse

or something that is causing the display to be constant ?

This rookie is open to any and all advice.

Thank you in advance.

Thanks Demon,

Yes, I did confirm last p.m. that front 2 are not turning. Guess I'll start

with some basics, check voltage and etc. Just thought perhaps someone

had experienced the same problem, and had a likely suggestion.

Thanks again !

So then it would be logical to assume that there is a gearshift position sensor that is stuck on even though it is only supposed to be activated when the machine is shifted into 4wd. There is a gearshift position sensor located on the outside of the engine case, I am not 100% sure, but I think it would be on the left hand side as you are sitting on the machine, but check both sides as I am not sure. It is a small plastic thing with two screws holding it in and wires coming out of it. There is a small pin that allows the gear shift shaft to turn the switch portion of the gear position sensor. I would suspect that either there is a problem that is not allowing the switch to be turned, or the sensor/switch itself is just bad. This same switch should probably activate a Reverse light, does the reverse light work properly? Good luck.

      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.

      So I’ve got a 2000 Honda 400ex absolutely love it!! I’ve had it for about a month, I ride with bruteforce 750’s, outlander 850’s and 1000 sxs’s and I was thinking of getting a trx450r carb and a full hmf exhaust. And probably doing the air box mod too, how much power would this give my 400? Just a little different or a big difference? Cuz if it’s not much of a different I’ll just stick with my dg slip on..... thanks!

      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?
