Outlander 450 not charging? Check this first.


Recommended Posts

I have found a defect in Outlander 450's where a stator 3 phase wire chafes between the frame and rear body module (plastic) at the fuel pump cap area.  Before you go crazy and open the engine cover up to replace the stator, check the 3 phase wires first.  The stators on these bikes are very well made.  The 3 phase wires between the regulator and stator, unfortunately, were not thoughtfully routed.  What happens is the wires chafe, and at least one loses all its insulation and rubs against the metal frame, shorting it out.  Hopefully this will save someone hundreds of dollars in stealership fees.

      I generally use Non Ethynol fuel in all my small engines. I just got back from the gas station and that fuel has really increased in price since last year, I will continue to use it, even though its north of 1.00 a gallon more. That seems minor compared to cleaning and repairing carbs every year. 
      I was just curious as to what others are doing in regard to gas in their quads, i know a lot of the newer ones are fuel injected which shouldnt pose a problem, but i have had lots of problems with rust and jell forming in carbs when using ethynol fuel.
