Are you new to the site? Where are you from?

[Coad]

New to site. Just bought an 87 Bayou 300 2x4. Lots of issues with it but trying to get it back running. Looking for manual to download. 

[Wookard]

Im from Alberta, Canada and I am new to Quads.   Working on rebuilding a Quadrunner this Spring.  Hope I can learn a thing or two from here.

[unirambler]

I'm in southern Indiana, near Louisville, KY. I was just given a project quad - a 2001 Suzuki King Quad 300 - that my son and I are going to try to get running. Can't wait to be out riding it!

[Gwbarm]

Thats a great project, your son will never forget the times with his Dad working on a project like that, I know I haven't. We were always working on cars and motorcycles.

[6adan]

Yes, new here. I am sure I will be asking questions about the Kawasaki Mule I just got. I also have some experience with old Honda Goldwing’s if anyone has questions about those.

[lbdrummer3]

I'm from Casper Wy and my neighbor gave me an abandoned 1995 Polaris magnum 425 4X4 that's been sitting outside for at least 5 years.  It's been Bubba'd quite a bit and I'm just trying to get it going again.  Would be a great utility quad for my property.

[Gwbarm]

Sounds like a fun project, keep us posted on your progress.

[lbdrummer3]

I put up a post in the Polaris sub forum about how I got spark back.  Turned out it was a spring inside of the on/off switch that broke.

 

[ScareCrow]

Scarecrow, from Oklahoma, next year moving to my property in Eastern Arkansas to build an off grid homestead to live and teach my kids the old ways while I'm young enough to physically be able to do so. We have an 80's big red honda 3, an 03 honda rancher 350 4x4, and my newest project a kawasaki bayou 300 4x4 I'm trying to figure out.

[Gwbarm]

Good for you, the best thing you could do for your kids.

[wiktoriatopajew]

Hello im From Poland i have Kawasaki ATV greetings

[Gwbarm]

I really like the Timberwolfe, don't own one but been meaning to pick one up, too many other projects right now, they are light and powerful and easy to maneuver, fun to ride. 

[CRW]

Haven't been able to ride it yet can't get it to fire. Bought a new cdi and coil and still no fire. Do you have anything to try before I go mad

 

[Gwbarm]

Let me see if I can get a schematic I will take a look , what year is it.

[Dinger]

Afternoon all. Steven here. Been on the site since February. Located central Arkansas. I own one of the chinesium quads, linhai. So is it normal to take 3 months to get posts or questions approved?

I really don't know I've looked for a number or something too show what year it is but nothing. It's an older one though. I will send you a picture tomorrow.

With that Yamaha with no spark, the stator coils need to be tested. I've seen pickup/source coils fail on them a few times.

The stator is good, I checked that. I got the specs on line. I'm thinking maybe a broken wire , I will send some pictures this morning.

Thanks for the schematic I will use it .

[Gwbarm]

It might be a good idea to create your own thread on this no spark issue, might get more responses, just a thought.

[TeacherDave]

David here from Arkansas.

First time to post, and 1st time to ever own a quad.  I bought an old Suzuki LT185 at an auction this past Saturday. Needs a carb (missing) and a few other repairs. Has great compression.  I also bought a 2012 RZR 800 S with a blown motor for $800 at the same auction.  Looking forward to getting my hands dirty fixing these up. We rented a side by side a few months back and loved it, so I've been looking for some cheap ones for a while.  My wife even likes it, and that's saying a lot.  Hopefully this is something we can enjoy as a family.

[Gwbarm]

Sounds like your hands are already dirty just loading them, will be a couple of fun projects, keep us posted on your progress. My wife ignores mine, so you are in good shape.

[frugalsob]

Hey all!  I'm Andy from Wisconsin.

My son just got his ATV cert and he and I are ready to hit the trails.

I got him a 96 Polaris xPlorer 300. So I'm sure it'll need work here and there, so that's why I joined. I've found other forums (auto & hunting) that have been a wealth of knowledge. I'm sure I'll find the same here.

Keep the muddy side down!

Hi  -- I am from upstate NY and have a 1998 Polaris Big Boss 500 6x6.  Best wheelbarrow I ever bought. Easiest way to bring a load of wood in to the shed.  Great tool to launch the sail and fishing boats. Pull the dock out for the winter. Move top soil. I use it all the time.  

[chuc]

[Anthony7812]

Anthony here from Lopez/Dutch Mtn. Pennsylvania. Own a  02 Honda recon 250es and a 21 Suzuki Kingquad 750. Been riding all my life. Our township enacted an ordinance to permit atv on township roads here. Pretty sweet deal, 10 dollars for lifetime permit! Pays for the warning atv signs and speed limits in township without using tax dollars. 25 acres with trails all around me. Hope to learn so repair tips while here with the 02 Honda. Runs like a champ and no big concerns. My plan is to keep it as long as possible. So overhaul coming next winter is the plan.
