New to the quad family... Worked a deal where I bought my old neighbors 1989 yamaha moto-4- 100cc 4 stroke engine. A nice quad for my first quad... Anyway I picked it up for

$120 bucks... I then installed a new coil for the $35 bucks or so ... i am into the thing for right around $150 or so... I just can not see paying 2-3-4- grad for one.... I did work a couple deals and added a pocket quad 2 cycle 49 cc for $200 and a sunl 90cc quad that I traded a Nintendo Wii {$250} and pocket bike {I had $50 into it} for the sunl.

opps i also most forgot the HONCHO quad that I have from early 80's that i picked up for $200 that has a 8hp Kolher engine on it...

so for my 4 quads I have $950 into them...

and all of them run... the Honcho needs to be taken more apart and finished restored...

:)

So I am learning on the Moto-4 and eyeing a yamaha raptor ....

More to come...

i am located in MA in East Bridgewater anyone from down in this area?

Looking for places {dare I say it } local to ride....

      Has anyone had a suzuki 230 quad lock the engine up?  Its a well maintained bike, it locked up when my son was riding it. Pulled the plug, it has connected with the piston. I'm thinking the con rod let go.  I don't have a service manual.  Does the engine need to come out to check further?

      1989 Moto 4 YFM350ERW intermittent spark.
      Quad has set for about 7 years and was running when parked.  When I replaced the battery and attempted to start it had no spark. 
       
      What I have done.  Followed troubleshooting in the manual. 
      1.       Coil failed the resistance check so I replaced it.  Still no spark.
      2.       I performed resistance checks on the stator and they all pass.
      3.       Found a bad rear brake stop switch and unplugged it and connected the wires in order to disable.  Now I have intermittent spark.  I believe that the issue is with either the stator or CDI and not sure which.
      1989 seems to be a transition year for electrical.  I can get new aftermarket CDI units for 87-88 and 90-94.  I cannot get ones for a 89.  I can get new stators for 87-89 and 90-95.  Looking at the schematics the wiring on my moto is closer to the 90 ones on the ATV side of the CDI and closer to the 87-88 on the stator side of the CDI.  Looking at part supply sources the stator housing is the same part # for all the years and looking at some of the stators on Amazon that have the dimensions on them both of the stators are the same size.
      What I am thinking of doing is to replace the stator and CDI with a 90-95 one as these parts are all readily available.   Does anyone know if this has been tried before and if there are any issues with doing this.  
       As a side note I also have a 1993 Moto 4 YFM350ER that has been sitting longer but it is located about 400 miles from me at this time.  By doing this change in addition to being able to get parts I will also have 2 ATV’s that are the same electrically.

      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.
