Hey fellas,

posting from Western Australia.

Been on here a bit lurking and read alot about the Suzy ltf250-300 quadrunners.

Im building one out of two sh** boxs so i thought id put back in a bit and post some info on my build.

Ive got a late 90s 2504wd and a 982wd,both seen better days!

Frames rusted,cases corroded etc etc.

One had 20,000klms,the other 3000klms,picked them both up a while back for a project in the shed. The 2wd one with low miles had been used on salt lakes in the outback :(

Lower engine cases corroded badly. So i used the cases off the other one,they were sandblasted and the 2wd internals are like new so in they went after painting.

High comp piston arrived the other day so i"ll get it bored next and finish the motor off.

Started on frame the other day,replace all bottom rails and fronts where suspension bolts on with gal tubing.

Cheers Goldchaser

Will do,i"ll post some pics when i have more time.

The quad will be rebuilt top to bottom.

Plan is double A-arms at rear with 2 inch lift,hope to use Arctic cat rear cvs on it,1 inch spacers and 12 inch rims.

Oil cooler plus cooling fan,storage boxs etc and frame will be beefed up a bit as well.

I have a new Polaris 400 also,this is a build for the wife.

We use them for prospecting in the outback.

      1997 Kawasaki Prairie 400 4x4 - issues post ring job
      By PIYIRIO
      Hi all - I recently had a shop fix this quad and it hasn't been right since. The jug was resealed as it was leaking, the rings were replaced, and the valve stem seals replaced. Shop said the cylinder walls were great so nothing was done there. The motor still smokes, heavily on startup and all but quits once warmed up. Enough that I can live with it if I can fix what I came to ask about. I mentioned this work because since I've gotten it back it seems like it has power but tops out at a much slower speed than before. It's old so I don't have a speedo but I pulled out my phone at it tops out at 25 mph. I know before the work, I was getting up to 45+ mph... It's so bad, my 10 year old daughter is pulling away and straight leaving me in the dust with her governed Polaris 90.
      Given the work done, what are some thing I could be the cause of such a drastic difference? I immediately thought timing but the marks appear to match up with a youtube video I found... no idea if it's correct though. It sat in another shop for 2 months and they gave me an $800 quote just for the starter... it pull starts fine. 
      FYI: I would take it back to the original shop to figure out but I had some issues that make them a no-go for me.

      Hello I just bought my son a 1998 kingquad 300. The brakes do not work but other than that we just want to learn all we can about it.  To keep it up and going.
