Hello to everyone,

I just joined tonite so I guess Im about as new as one can be! lol

I have a small farm in north central Missouri, I have a couple Yamaha quads, an 02 Grizzly 660 and an 87 Big Bear 400. From what I have seen thus far this seems to be a friendly, knowledgable, and helpful group of people and Im excited to be a member. I hope I will be able to contribute as well.

It would be wonderful to get together with other members to go riding someday, if at all possible.

Best wishes to all!

I'm new to the site as well. Working on fixing up 1992 Bayou 300. I'm struggling to break the beads on the front tires to add tubes (they are close to end of life). Also need to find an o ring for the oil cap (it's either missing or disintegrated).

Hi,

I am new to quads, I got my kids a 2021 Kawasaki 50cc and I ended up riding it and doing a few easy mods to it. I think I took the spark resistor out of it and the speed screw out and also took the clutch speed collar off the clutch and at that point I wanted my own to tinker with. My brother in-law sold me a 1997 Suzuki LT-F250 QuadRunner for 200 bucks and it had a Chinese carb on it and would not run. I did some tinkering and seen that it for sure needed a carb and a fuel pump. So I bought a used Mikuni Carb original to it and a shindy carb rebuild kit and rebuilt the carb and put a new fuel pump on it and now it runs fine. I have maybe 380 bucks tied into it total now. Kinda got the bug now..lol

Hello from Missouri, 72 year old outlaw here doing his best to stay in the game.  Owned several bikes in my life, but just acquired my first quad. It's a Yamaha Bear Tracker, still working out what year it is but think it's a 2002 give or take a year. It had sat for several yrs before I got it so has a few problems. Both front brakes were locked up. I released them by loosening the connection at the master cylinder just so I could push it the ramps onto my pickup. Will look into that later but right now my first priority is to get it running. I was able to start it when I got it home by giving it a shot of starting fluid in the carb throat but wouldn't stay running. Took the carb off and gave it what I felt was a thorough cleaning and it did help. It starts and can even be rode but bogs down under a load and have to go very easy on the throttle to get it going. Big improvement over yesterday but looks like I'll need to give the cleaning another go round, apparently missed something somewhere. Anyways, came here looking for information so glad to be here and and any advice will be much appeciated.

Follow up on carb cleaning. Took it back apart this morning and repeated everything I did yesterday plus ran copper wire into every orifice I could find and put it back together and re-installed. Started right up and runs great. Don't know what I missed yesterday but must have found it today. Rode around the fields and woods for about an hour with no problems. Next step is to get the front brakes working which I hope to get to tomorrow. Two of the four tires are leaking air through cracks and around rims so considering whether to put tubes in them or bite the bullet and replace the tires. Tons of tread left on the old ones but sitting in the dirt for so long has taken a toll on the rubber.

      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?
