Hello all, just bought my first ATV today at a local government disposal auction. A buddy who knows a little about them advised me and I spent $1300.00CDN - plastic is a little rough but it seems to run well and no obvious mechanical issues. According to the auction catalog it is a 1991 Suzuki LT F4 but I can't find anything on line - I'm looking for advice about where I can find manuals etc. Also simple stuff like changing oil, key fluid levels to check and how and what should I be checking mechanically.

Thanks

DOUBLE POST, DOUBLE POST, the super mod posted the same thing twice, and I cought him hahaha. Ahem, anyway, a picture would help someone tell you what you have, or you can call the dealer and give them the VIN #. Or enter the model that Bot suggested into your search engine and try to find an image to compare.

A little late for that much coffee, huh? LOL I don't know why it did a double post...weird?????

It is almost impossible to find any info off of that model number. I think that is the actual model number of a King Quad.

Ok, so got to drive my new toy today - first time I have ever driven a motor bike of any kind - it was a blast! Also took some pictures - and found a label with Model No. LT-F4WX from my reserach I'm beginning to suspect it may be a 1991 Suzuki QuadRunner 300 4WD. Anywau please check out the pics and let me know if you recognize the model for sure.

I checked out the forum suggested in one of the earlier replys it was a parts list but no owners manual - checked my local ATV dealer and was told manual no longer availabe. I really need something like an owners manual so I at least can check and change oil and other relevant fluids and do some basic maintenance - any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sorry can't upload pics keep getting error message "THis is not a valid image format" - tried JPG and PNG - they are up on my Facebook page Roger Bannister | Facebook

No problem. If you search ebay a bit, you might be able to find a better price on that manual. I bought one for my Honda about two years ago for less than $20.

So I now have a manual, I ended up ordering a new one online from Clymer - the correct model number is LT-4WDX - it is a 280CC engine. I'm planning on doing oil and oil filter change, new sparkplug and thinking about changing the front differential fluid.

Any suggestions for any other minor maintenance items I should be thinking about?

Thanks, Roger

Give the wheels a good shake, you want to check for worn wheel bearings and ball joints. Also, give the boots on your CV joints a good look, make sure there are no rips or tears, if you lose the grease in there the joints will go bad in no time.

That's greta advice DD.

That machine has 4WD and Diff lock, right? You can also take a look at your brake adjustments, I believe there is a cable adjusten't on that model for the rear brakes.

      I rebuilt the carb on said machine. When I hook up the auxiliary gas tank it runs fine and everything is cool. When I put the fuel tank on and hooked up the lines, it completely flooded the cylinder and even about an inch of fuel in the air box. I'm pretty sure that it comes from the little hose on the petcock and hooks to the top of the carb. WTH is that even for? I mean the thing runs fine on the auxiliary tank, so idk And on the petcock when it's in the "on" position, I get no fuel. The petcock from the bike I took it apart and checked out how it operates. The sharpie marks indicate how it really works. Now the other petcock w/o the sharpie marks is an old one that was leaking that I removed from a Polaris quad. It's exactly the same thing, except the small hose and nipple have been removed. I'm so confused, LOL

      I'm working on a 2002 Polaris Sportsman 400 with shift indicator problems. The indicator panel only will show Neutral and Reverse. If it's in High or Low, the indicator will show "R".
      I have replaced the three position indicator switch on the transmission. There is also a two position switch on the tranny that I didn't replace. If anyone is familiar with this problem, please let me know what I need to do. Any help is greatly appreciated!

      In search of my first ATV? What are good older 4x4 models?

      I'm currently working on an 04 Suzuki Eiger 400 and ran into some issues. Main issue being it's really hard to start. Once I get it started, it runs bad. Sounds like it's missing, which I'm pretty sure is an idle issue. It's not my 4 wheeler. I'm working on it for a buddy. Someone started working on the original carb and 2 jets were missing when I got it to work on.
      So, I ordered a new carb. To get it to run, I had to adjust the throttle screw on the handle bar almost all of the way out. Even doing that, it still sounds like it's bogging down and missing. 
      I did put a gas filter on it, which I'm questioning whether or not that's the issue and it's not getting enough gas like it should. The petcock only has an On, Reserve, and Prime option. It also has 2 ports. I guess I have the hoses hooked up right. There's no way to shut the gas off completely, and also it looks like there's no gas getting thru unless I run it on Prime. Reserve drips gas. I'm going to take it apart today and clean it. I'm also going to take the jets I need out of the new carb and put in the old one. 
      I don't know what all this person did you the 4 wheeler before I got it. There's odds and ends missing that I've noticed so far. What else can I try or look for? What could be the gas issue with the carb and petcock? The carb was completely off the bike except hanging onto the throttle cable. The diagram I found for the carb doesn't help me with hose placements. Any help, or questions would be appreciated. I can attach photos if it would be of help.

      So I decided to pick up a small trailer if I could get one for the right price.  I found this one for a few hundred bucks on Craig’s list.  It is  a galvanized trailer which is exactly what I was looking for. The wood was shot and needed some minor repairs which I could care less about as long as the chassis was good. 
      I striped it down and put a new deck on. I had some vinyl realtree graphics that I had laying around so I added them to the fenders which I think worked out well. Very happy with this little guy.  
      I'm having the iron workers at my jobmake me up a few lightweight side rails that will have a 22 degree bend in them to accommodate the tires that slightly hang over the edge and will incorporate some tie down points as well.
