Hello,

thanks for having this great site
i just bought my first new to me quad.

I bought a 2008 Yamaha Bug Bear 400.

I got it mainly for hunting but it came with a snow plow so the first test run at home was plowing mine and my neighbors driveways. Anyways thanks again.

Thanks, I bought Maxxis big horn 2.0’s (take off from a Yamaha Viking) which I learned after I bought them that they are different then off the rack big horn 2.0’s which is a piss off. Apparently the Yamaha ones are 4 ply rears and 2 ply fronts instead of 6 ply like the off the rack and the take offs are biased and not radials... That doesn’t make sense to me and is a piss off but I guess it is to save Yamaha money and mislead buyers.. :(

atleast I got them for a good price.

Hello everyone. I am here to learn, share my limited knowledge and hopfully fix a broken ATV.  I have been active in everything from automobile engine overhaul to 2 and 4-cycle equipment repair and maintenance. I have a 50 year plus background in airbourn electronics repair and maintenance as well as formal electrical/mechanical technical training with the Department of Defence. All that being said I still get stumped when I can not find the technical drawings, wiring diagrams, voltage and/or resistance specifications and support documentation needed when unusual problems present themselves. Which brings me to the reason I have turned to Quadcrazy.com.  I will be spending a little time getting familiar with this site then posting some questions concerning some particular problems with a customers ATV that I have in the shop for repair. Hopefully someone will be able to enlighten me and I will gladly help others as well to the best of my ability. Thanks in advance and get out there and make some noise.

Hello folks!  I'm Mitch, from Pittsburgh, PA, and new to the site.  Between me and my son, we own an old Suzuki LT250S, a Kawasaki KFX400 and a YZ250.  My young granddaughters love messing around on an old Suzuki FA50 moped.  We're going to be getting them their own quads in the near future.  I hope to gain some knowledge while I'm here.

I am glad to have found this forum. It has been helpful already and I have hardly ridden my 2002 Yamaha Bear Tracker YFM250 ATV. I just traded for it in a swap for a couple of older snowmobiles. It wasn't running. It's cold here in Maine and I don't have a heated place to work. It didn't have spark so I spent a lot of time tracing wires and replacing most suspicious components. Finally success. Now it won't stay running, I am about to get reading all the helpful advice from the posts to see what the problem might be. Happy to be part of your community. Thanks

Hello everyone. Another new guy here. I stumbled across this forum while looking for info on a '98 Bayou 220 I recently picked up. It's pretty rough and has some wiring issues, but I'm willing to work through it since it was free. I'll start a thread on it.

      Need help! 1987 Yamaha Moto 4 350
      By P_syko
      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!

      2008 kazuma 800 4x4. i need wiring help. no spark
      By carkivey3
      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.

      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?
