Same exact issues with 02 yamaha big bear. Replaced with new carb. Same issue, bogging down when throttled past mid range. Bought another new carb, replaced again. Same issue. Good gas, jets all correct, screens clean, fuel lines clean, good gas, new battery, new plug, filters etc…Not sure about the CDI, but how about replacing the stator?Thoughts?

Most machinery, whatever it is, always wears the same parts out, which is why it doesn't always work out so good keeping old machines for spares... I think I'd choose the best rolling chassis with reasonable suspension brakes etc, and swap motors, bodywork etc onto that one. Just a guess without knowing if things are worn or crashed or blown up, but based on having seen(and done) a bit of this work.

Hi and welcome along. That does sound like a fun project.

Welcome to the forum, always nice to hear about interesting projects! Good luck and we are here to help if needed.

Hi! I’m new to the forum. I have several Polaris Trailboss 500’s, which I’m trying to make 2 usable bikes from. One is all but complete, needing only reassembly, while the other two are a decision as to which is parts and which is bike. lol. Anyhow…

They are a must have if you have acreage, at least for me anyway, im getting older and dont like to walk so much anymore, would rathar ride.

Thanks for the info , i generally use Kenda Bear Paw, but the SunF are getting very popular, with a great aggressive tread design.

Why THANK YOU Little Guy ... glad you enjoyed the video ... and Thank You for watch'in too!! Yes, the machine is a Great One!! ... And I have a blast on it!! ...

I've got the same Quad, 96 model, I've used Sun F tires only, best I've had on a 4x4!

There are several good models to choose from, I PREFER HONDAS OR YAMAHAS. DON'T GET TOO FANCY WITH ALL THE OPTIONS THAT YOU CAN GET ON AN ATV. BUY A PLAIN JANE. BUY A USED MODEL, BUY An EARLY 2000 OR A LATE 1990S MODEL. THEY ARE EASY TO REPAIR AND KEEP RUNNING. KEEP IT SIMPLE!

Looks like a good machine, nice one

That's wild, glad you are still alive!

I got to get me one of these

I've done it in my little s10, managable!

I've never had a problem so long as I cleaned up the rim where the bead sits

Damn nice work!

Just looking up some pictures of that unit, looks cool!

I never grew up around them, but once I bought rural land the need arose, so glad I found out about them!

I've been eyeballing some swamp lites by interco

For me its just at my place, to get jobs done

Cool article, looks like fun

I did'nt know an exhaust leak could cause backfires, thanks for the tip!

Nice job. Man those tires look mean!

WOW not what I'd want to find!

Hmm very useful info, iirc this is the same for the bayou 400
