Apache rlx sport 400cc


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone I'm hoping someone can help a guy out here! 

I recently bought an Apache rlx400cc for pennies iknow it's Chinese but I thought it could do with a new life with such low mileage on it.

I serviced it and went to start it up to find the starter motor just spins? Is this a simple fix everything seems okay it has enough power to start the engine so not sure why it won't start however these bikes do have a pull start so it started straight away but after starting it a few times it started to slip when pulling I took the case of to find the teeth where broken on the receiver side the pawls are fine but I can't find a replacement anywhere as a matter of fact I can't even find out what it's called so I'm stuck!

If anyone can tell me what this is called please share with me.Screenshot_20230727-2029543.thumb.png.5b7cee762e72f295699406e9addc9cd3.png

I'd try to find the maker, which may be mentioned on a model tag on the frame somewhere, then do a search for info.. It may use some common chinese engine, possibly a copy of a jap engine.

Can't find a parts picture or complete list.

If you can find a vin or model id plate, take a photo and post it up..

On most bikes that pull start pulley fits onto a tiny spline..  I think I'd pull that part off and check the end of the crank before I chased up a part, and I'd check the starter gears too. Some of those cheap bikes are so badly made they break kick start shafts, and gearbox shafts, and just about any part that we would normally expect to last the bike out..

Once you had that part off, you could go to a bike wreckers if there is one around and ask if they recognise it.. Might be a copy of something.

      Hi Guys!

      New member and could really use your advice. I would have to believe this has been an issue for others but a search here came up with nothing......? (Probably me not doing search correctly)
       
      I have an 87 Big Bear 350 YFM350FWT
      The OEM Mikuni BTM carb is shot and would rather replace than rebuild.
      It is no longer made and I have had good luck with NICHE carbs so I ordered a #K-CRB-0006 This was what they said was replacement when ordered. This Carb only uses 1 Throttle cable. The Slide is linked so it uses one. (OEM had 2nd cable coming through top to move slide)
       
      Problem is when I ordered a replacement Cable from NICHE (#C-CBL-0061) the Cable wire is a little short, not allowing Throttle to return all the way down to Idle position. I called NICHE and they are at a loss. Haven't gotten back to me after 2+ weeks.
       
      What would you recommend other than a carb rebuild?
      Can I just use 1 of the OEM cables (It is the right length) and snip/disconnect the other that went to top of Carb for Slide?
      Or ??
       
      Thanks in advance for any advice you have!!

      I have been exploring all the options available, so many, its hard to choose. I have kind of narrowed it down to the Honda Pilot, Subaru Outback, and Kind of looking at the Outlander, although its a little small,  the new one is nice looking. Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations or gripes with any of these rides. I have driven Jeeps for the past 25  years and they have been great, but their price point has gotten to high. Expieriences good or bad would be helpful. Thanks!

      Hi, I have been around everything with a motor since I was little, and finally purchased more to get my husband, and kids involved. I have 4 quads I will be searching around for information on. I have two 2002 Suzuki LT80K quads, a 1997 Yamaha Timberwolf 250, and a 1996 Kawasaki Bayou 220. I have had different ones throughout the years, and plan on buying another Yamaha Banshee. I plan on trying to learn more about all of them, so I can customize some of them. I know nothing about them besides how to race them, my dad always took care of the rest, but figured it was time for me to learn.
