1998 big bear clutch adjustment


Recommended Posts

Hello, I recently bought a 1998 big bear 2x4 for a cheap project. When purchase it started and ran but only caught a couple of forward gears and reverse but could “cycle” through all gears. After reading through some forums, I found a clutch adjustment forum which leads me to my problem. I now can only “cycle” down and up one gear. What have I missed and what do I need to do to fix it? In case you can’t tell, I have never worked on an atv or hell anything for that matter, but you never learn if you don’t try! Thank you in advance for the help!

Thank you for the help. I have not taken the clutch back apart yet. I forgot to mention it will also roll when pushed when in any forward gear just like it was in neutral. Reverse still works perfectly fine and cannot be pushed while in neutral. Does this help diagnose any issues, or give any more ideas of what exactly needs to be fixed?

I have the problem I have is, is there a starting point for for the screw? In other words, it says loosen the locknut and turn 1/8th of a turn and right the nut. Should I just keep doing this until I see a difference or should the screw be in a certain position before adjusting

      Hey I have a 1997 big bear 350 4x4
      I replaced the shifter shaft and the shift arm linkage and the rod when I installed them all I was unaware that you had to line the dot on the shifter shaft with the gap on the linkage arm gap put it all back  together and rode it I can't get it to shift in the right gears  I can move the shift cam by hand and goes in different gears but with the shifter shaft in it riding I can't put it in R or N 
      Anyone know how to line up the shifter shaft and the shift cam s

      Have a 1998 AC 300 2x4, Just installed a new carburetor. Engine starts easy but the choke RPMs are very hi and take along time (5-10 mins when cold out). After engine has warmed up choke releases and it idles and runs fine., It does no have an electric choke. The choke lever is never used and it seems like an auto choke? Long story short, how can I lower the choke rpm levels?
       
      Also, carb came with a spare145 jet, not 100% sure what is installed. Could this impact choke RPMs?
       
       
      Any help and information greatly appreciated.

      If you had to choose one mod that you couldn't live without, or had to recommend one what would it be?

      Hi everyone, I received a 98 Yamaha Timberwolf from my brother for free, and I'm working on getting it going. 
      I am having the following problem: 
      The engine is backfiring through the carb. 
      I have done the following to try and get the four wheeler running: 
      Rebuilt the carb and set the air screw to 1-1/4 turn out and the circlip at middle position 3
      Replaced the coil, because the cable was loose at the coil end
      Repaired the main ground, coming from the battery
      Replaced the ignition switch, because my brother couldn't find the key. New switch tested good
      Tested the kill switch and it tested good
      New coil tested goodfor both primary and secondary coils
      Pickup coil resistance is at 195, which is correct
      My source coil, is where I believe the issue is. The resistance is 310ohms, and it should be between 428-523ohms
      When I opened the stator housing, there was significant oil, which I have read is normal. Does it sound like I'm on the right track replacing the source coil? Could this be causing my backfiring issue? It looks like the source coil is part of the stator assembly, is this correct? 4BD-85510-20-00 STATOR ASSY

      Hi guys
      My 87 Bear 350 won't start and could use a hand.
      Turn key on and Oil light turns on and then slowly fades out. (I think this is key to this) No start, not even a tick.
      battery and connections good
      A Solenoid post jump turns it over
      Neutral Safety Switch wire attached and seems good
      It has not had a wire/switch on Rear Brake Pedal ever since I had it.
      Any thoughts on some other things to troubleshoot this??
