Quite a project


Recommended Posts

Well, one of the things i liked doing as a kid was taking things apart and putting them back together. Now i am killing to buy a junk quad and rebuild it. I will either sell it or keep it. Now what i am asking is... what should i buy to rebuild that i can get good parts for.

P.S. Me and my dad are machanically inclined so no need to worry

I dont know how mechanically inclined you are.... but if your dad is really good at it and you got the money check the atv wreck sites,, or go onto used atv sites and find old atvs like 1999 and under.... like a Kawasaki tecate or bayou.... or if your into race bikes go with a honda 250r or any old hondas

fun machines to look for that you can find a lot of parts for.

Banshees

Blasters

Quadzillas <-- better hold on tight

LT250Rs

250rs

4 strokes

Warriors

400exs

idk..anyone wanna add to these?

Thanks i will start searching soon, i think i will look for a two stroke. I will keep you posted but it might take awhile to find something like that.

Quadzillas <-- better hold on tight

they are some beasts but the 500 and the 250 have weak frames... so if you do one of them i would recommend putting some gussets on the frame

Can you tell me where they are weak at???? There is one in Virgina that I am thinking about Trading....

And on the 2 Strokes......I would go with a Blaster to start..They are Relatively Cheap and you can bump them from 200cc to 240cc. for about 200 Bucks....At least that what I remember the kit being....

      My friends KQ 300 starts fine and runs, as soon as you put it in gear and try to accelerate its bucks and farts like crazy, not moving... I cleaned carb and it worked good for 1 day... now back to same problem.... could it be such as a bent valve????

      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!

      Bucking started about a month ago and works ok after 1/2 hour warmup.  Today while working on it i discovered that if i put the ignition switch in LIGHT position it runs fine right from the start.
      I'm stumped!  Any idea why this could be?

      This is something I'm extremely curious about. Has anyone ever attempted to buy a quad (or any other vehicle) from an impound lot? I've always wondered if this could be a bargain, or a waste of time. Google searches do turn up some helpful results. Looks like the state of NJ holds auctions online which I'd be a bit hesitant about.
       
      My online searches haven't really turned up any results of anyone buying an ATV this way. I'd be really curious if anyone tried this, or knows someone who has. I've actually found a couple pages with online auctions for my state, but none had ATVs.

      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.
