I recently purchased a Suzuki Quadrunner 250.  I am not sure of the year.  I plan on  rebuilding the carburetor and looking to do some maintenance before using it.

 

I also purchased a Quadrunner 160 and planned on doing the same maintenance.  I have the same question for the 250:

I am going to change the oil, which is simple enough, but after reading the manual there are many adjustments that are needed when the oil is drained.  Does anyone have any advice on the valve clearance or clutch adjustments?  Both require the oil to be drained and the engine at top-dead-center.  Anything else that I should do while it is in this configuration?

 

I am unable to find a manual online for the 250.  Does anyone know the valve clearance setpoint?

Not sure why the oil needs to be drained, but a good time to do it, intake .004 exhaust .006. Some had tighter clearances intake .002 exhaust .004 not sure which model or year yours is.

      I'm in the middle of repairing damage from the chain coming off of this from the previous owner. (I learned this is somewhat common on these for various reasons.)
      What are you guys using to either help keep the chain correct and on the sprocket or guarding your engine in the case that it comes off / breaks?
      Is there an upgraded guard that can bolt around the sprocket in replacement of the currently broken OEM alluminum?

      As the title says, I've got a crankcase full of fuel / oil to deal with and figure I'll just start from the top and move through the system.  Going to start with a rebuild of the petcock and then the carb if the problem isn't fixed with the petcock rebuild.  I figure I'll go with a Moose kit unless others with experience recommend another brand (All Balls, etc.)
      Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance.

      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?
