ran like a beast. sat for a couple of years. New cheap petcock, tank wash and cheap carb. bogs half throttle. 300.00 factory carb and the same. moved the needle no help. all new vent lines and battery. wouldn't think yhe timing should change.

So bogs and then just stays the same, struggling to go faster ? Or does it start dying out.. Actually get slower.

Have you checked the fuel is coming right to and through the carb fast enough. You could open the drain bung on the carb and make sure it keeps flowing after the bowl has drained.

Have you checked the exhaust isn't blocked..

Undo the carb drain bung and make sure the fuel is getting right through the carb. Just because it's getting to the carb doesn't necessarily mean it's getting into the carb.

Have you tried a new spark plug. It could be as simple as that.

And what about this question ...

great thought didn't think of that could be something in the needle valve. got too cold around here lately. will try soon. does not die out just can't go higher than maybe 2k.

      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.

      I have replaced the cracked stator cover on my non-running 2006 LT-F400F that I purchased recently, checked all the shafts vs the service manual and pics and advice here.  I replaced missing gears, bushings and washers, made sure that truth marks were all aligned properly, that the shift cam springs felt like they returned properly, etc.  IAfter installing the new stator cover I checked the transfer lever for proper movement from L-H-R and then cranked it up.  Happily, it runs and changes gears well in L,  but it will not shift into H or R for anything.  I have opened it back up and am going back through it looking for the missing puzzle piece(s) but how can I best check that I have everything right this time before buttoning it back up?
