I agree with the never say never thing. When I started building my 250R/CR500 hybrid, I got lots of negative feedback from forums that I was posting on and from people that I knew that apparently know everything, but have never built anything with their own two hands. I did it anyway ofcourse, and am glad I did, it isn't perfect, but it was cheap, and I have yet to see a daily rider type machine that can hang with it, especially when you consider the $ to $ comparison. I have less than $2k invested in this thing, and I can eat $8000 Raptor 700R's for lunch all day long. That being said, it is alot of work to do a motor swap of any kind, especially when you are trying to wedge a 4 cylinder street bike motor into a small quad frame. I would also agree that the Warriors poor handling charactaristics are not going to be favorable to all the power that the Ninja motor is going to put out. But there is a solution to every problem if you are determined and skilled enough to get the job done. If you really thing you can make it work, I say, why not. If you think, even for a second that you don't have the necessary skills, or aren't willing to make the effort to do things right, I would not even consider the idea. If you do decide to do this, I would very much like to see a thread started in the project room so we can all see this beast in the making. This would also give you a platform on which to ask others for ideas if you need. Good luck, whatever you decide to do.

      I have been rebuilding some ATVs in my spare time and teaching myself along with the help from the internet how an engine works and getting bikes running again is quite enjoyable. I even built an arctic cat 300 4x4 from two parts bikes the had seized motors and missing parts. It was pretty enjoyable. 
       
      So I am now working on a sazuki quadrunner 300 1992 which had a whole list of issues when I got it. I have fixed almost everything I need to in order to get this bike running. But something is going on inside the head or crankcase. 
      I had to replace the timing chain because it was very stretched due to the previous owner.
       
      What the issue was, the timing chain was off the sprocket inside the engine due to it being stretched it slipped off. So the previous owner rebuilt the top end thinking it would fix it which it may have temporarily, but when doing so they welded an extra inch onto the tensioner to hold the chain tight. Which as you can imagine caused a dozen other issues.
      So that stretched the chain to the point where I could remove the cam with the tensioner in.
      It beat the sliders all to hell. Destroyed the cylinder housing and obviously ruined the tensioner. 
      I didn't realise all of this until after I rebuilt the engine.  I noticed wear where the timing chain runs through the cylinder. I found the cam had no retaining chair, or clip whatever you want to call it so the cam was beat to sh** also. It had almost an inch of play side to side.
      So I pulled the head off of my parts bike and fixed all of it. Then put it together and went to pull it over and found it was not on the sprocket (this is when I realised that all that damage and the welded tensioner was because the timing chain had been off the sprocket) 
      So I pulled the stator cover off and pulled the flywheel (which I should add to get at the stator cover I have to remove the rear tire and a arm as well as remove the bolt through the front of the engine. And the exhaust system has to be removed to pull the cylinder as the exhaust guard is bolted to the side of the timing chain tensioner. Stupid setup. Glad the king quad doesn't have that. 
      So I got everything apart and the flywheel off. New timing chain (nice and tight now) put the head back together and flywheel but it is quite hard to turn the engine over. I can but with difficulty. When the valve cover was off it seemed to spin much more freely. Before I tear everything back apart and start again any ideas on what it is?

      I am interested on some easy trails to ride with a younger, new rider in the Pittsburgh region.  Preferably further west near the airport.

      When turning the ignition switch to start the machine, the console lights up but does not engage the engine (will not crank over).  I replaced the ignition switch, but have same issue.
      Thanks for any suggestions,
      Dave
