My friend has a '04 400 eiger 4x4. he took it through the mud and it died. ever since it doesnt run very good and it smokes really bad. we drained all the fluids and filled them again. we did that a couple times cause it was still smokin. my thoughts are the piston wall is gouged out but i dont know. any ideas? also where can i find a good diagram of the motor in case we have to tear it down?

Do a compression test. That will tell you alot. Did you check your air filter? It could have just gotten really dirty. If you need to get into the motor, get a manual, it will have diagrams and specs that you need.

Hello.

Was there much oil in the motor when you drained it out the first time?

Many Eigers when they are ran out of oil, scuff up the piston and alloy melts off the piston on to the cylinder wall, then killing the rings.

Then when you put more oil in to the oil rings dont work and the bike blows alot of smoke.

But normaly still runns ok for most people.

you did say that it was a muddy ride, so there is a chance that the oil cooler is covered in dryed mud and stopped air flow and thus the guy over heated the motor, and killed the piston/rings.

Did he get bogged and reved it like mad to get out and keept trying?

i just bought a used 03 eiger with no compression it had been run out of oil and the oil cooler fan fuse was blown make sure the fan works!!! or you will melt the piston you might get off cheap replacing the rings but rings and a piston are about 150 bucks

      2006 Eiger LT-F400F will not go into gear after generator cocer replacement
      By middlebrookgt
      Hi All.  I introduced myself some weeks ago with my 2006 LT-F400F that needed a list of repairs including replacing the cracked generator cover.  It is back together as of last night and cranks up, idles and revs high pretty well.  Needs some fine tuning and stop backfiring at stop.
      The big issue is it will not go into gear.  I reassembled the insides with help from y’all’s posts.  The transfer selector moves from H-L-R, and the foot shifter moves thru the gears and finds neutral easily enough.  Before I tear it back open, the  transfer selector on top does not move as far as the repair manual says.  The diagram shows the shaft moving something like 40 degrees between L and H and 50+ degrees between L and R but it doesn’t move that far even though it finds the indent areas and moves well.  
      Could this be the problem.  I aligned all the dots on the shifter gears inside and it appeared to not be binding anywhere.  I do hear the gears touching when I shift like they are trying to engage, but zero movement from the ARV
      It was somewhat difficult to tell whether all the parts are installed on each shaft.
      Are there better/bigger photos somewhere that would allow me to be confident I included all the washers and bushings, etc?  If I had any doubt on parts that were laying inside after the cover broke then I purchased replacements from online stores.
      TIA for any input or feedback!!  Pics are from when I first took the generator cover off.

      Arctic cat 366 smokes blue
      By spigmef
      I bought a 2008 arctic at 366 with 120hrs. When i red line it in neutral is smokes blue a lot. When I put it in high range it has problems getting over 35km/h. I bought it and had to clean the carb. It ran ok after i cleaned it. Not I have this problem.

      04 Suzuki Eiger 400 Won't move
      By alexwv1863
      I've been working on this 4 wheeler for a buddy of mine. I got it running yesterday and went to ride it around the yard on a test drive. Well, it backed out of the garage fine, but when I went to move forward, it wouldn't move at all. While giving it throttle, the bike would lurch forward as if I had the brake on holding it back. Then it died died on me and wouldn't crank. That sounded like the starter was bound up. It's a new starter that I put on not long ago. It's an aftermarket. Also, when I would rev the engine up trying to get it to move, it sounded like it didn't have much, if any, power. It just wasn't revving right. Anybody have any thoughts as to what could be my problem now? The guy doesn't know what was done to the 4 wheeler by a family member. So anything could be wrong with it. Also, it rolls just fine when I had to push it back in the building. I couldn't hear any clanking or rattling in the rear end.
