Hola!

 

I bought this baby yesterday, wasn't running - but a carb clean and new battery brought her to life and she sounds and drives like a beast.  Ugly and beat up plastics but w/e

 

So, the carb was nasty - like green buildup and every port possible and was clogged.  Where else should I look to clean or change fluids?  Also, anyone have the lt f500f SRV manual?  I did not see it in the SUZ forum for manuals.  What causes green buildup in carbs?  I am new to ATV's, but have at least dabbled in doing all my own auto maintenance and am trying to get the kick in the right direction as to what to service next before i ride her full time.

I do know that there is an oil leak that appears to be from the clutch cover gasket but will get under and clean it all up to confirm exactly where its leaking from.

 

 

Thanks!

Additional Info,

 

I just checked the carb and it appears to be leaking fuel from the pilot screw just forward of the float bowl.  I did not mess with this screw when I disassembled the carb.

Any thoughts?

      Hi all.  New to the forum & quads.  Seems like a great place full of info.
      I just recently picked up a 2005 Suzuki KingQuad LTA700.  I need a battery.  I've been reading up on conventional vs AGM types.  I have a Royal Distributing and Canadian Tire.  RD has 2 types avail for my year/Model a battery YTX16-BS CRANK $75, and BATTERY YTX20CH-BS YUASA $140.  Neither of these is the type from the manual FTZ16-BS.
      from what I can tell... I think the only difference is the capacity with the $75 unit rated at 14 AH/10HR and the $140 unit rated at 18 AH/10HR ... which is the rating in the manual for the FTZ16-BS.  How much does this make a difference for nearly x2 the cost?
      And about the models/type numbers.... what is important to know ... they all end in "-BS" but are the other details relevant or just manufacturer naming?

      The battery on my Big Bear drops completely down in the battery compartment nothing sticks up to grip too, plus there is only 1/8" clearance along the sides, no way to get a grip on it to pull up out of battery compartment. I thought about putting a piece nylon strap under the battery and leaving enough up each side to give me something to pull it up out ff the battery compartment or using a big zip tie around the battery.
      Any others have any ideas or have had this issue.

      This old boy has been coastal so lots of rust. But when I turn the key, nothing. Green neutral light works, head/tail lights work. Was running fine when I parked it for a few months.. no issues with starter. This did happen once before (last year).. not sure what overcame it.. maybe playing around with gear shifter.. but not sure if that was what did it. But doesn't seem to do anything now when I play around with it while hitting the start button.
      I did take apart the handlebar mounted start button housing and looked it over. Couldn't figure anything out there, but looked the same as when I had the problem last year. Put my probes on various wires there but didn't learn anything.. not sure how it is wired.
      So this first image there is a connector with 2 wires coming from forward (the male part of connector) - one blue and one blue w/ red stripe. The blue continues down to a post near where the gear shifter enters the housing. (Second image). I was wondering about that.. I opened up the connector and the 2 wires (coming from forward) show continuity when I put my probes on 'em. Thought that was weird, but maybe supposed to be like that? I turned on the key and tested for voltage but didn't find any.
      I'm just unaware of how to test for anything. Would be interesting to put 12 volts to the starter, but not sure about doing that or how. The wires going in are kind of hard to get to. I suppose I could take out the starter.. but wanted to ask if there is something easier to check first.
      Thanks for looking!

      Have a high heat issue on the right side panel on my 2021 cforce 400, as complained about by the wife.
      My heat gun shows after 15 minute ride in ambient 91 deg temps;  690 degrees on front end of muffler close to entry pipe and 375 on exit side of muffler.  The right side plastic (where wife's leg would touch) was showing 175 degrees.  This is rediculous!.
      As I understand the muffler has a built in catalytic converter which obviously kicks off high heat particularly at front end of muffler, but the heat is atrocious.
      What is everyone doing about this problem?  Is there a replacement muffler to eliminate this issue?
