New from SoCal


Recommended Posts

Hey everybody name is Joe and Im out here in the hi-desert of SoCal. Still alot of good riding out here locally. Bought my old lady a quad a few years back and I always rode dirt bikes. Had a 2004 CR250R. On thanksgiving I was doing a big stand up wheelie down the road about 70mph and looped it:aargh:. I broke my feemer in 4 spots and compound fractured my l2 & l3 in my lower lumbar. I traded the bike for a quad a 2002 400EX, its like brand new, and even though it hurts to ride still Im on the thing every other day cruising some little trails down the street from the house, PHYSICAL THERAPY:biggrin:. Ive been riding since I was 9 so I love to ride and now Im looking forward to making this quad the sickest on the block. Looking forward to BSn and getting to know the QUADCRAZY familia whats up from SOCAL and IM gone now.

Thanks everybody been cruzing the boards reading. I decided it was time to get the old ladies quad out and clean it up. I need a seat cover and a battery. I jumped it and rode it around with the kids today so it runs fine old reliable. I really like the 250 EX perfect starter quad, fun to do wheelies on too. Any ways just wanted to post a pic of the quads, taking the kids out later on a dusk ride right before dark, want to use the head lights LOL. Ive always liked riding quads now I am gonna make it my sport.

      Hey everybody,
       
      My proficiency is with Hondas and Yamahas make me see RED!
       
      This bike is my brother in law's, it has 1199 miles on it and went from running great to dead with no start. Every once and a while it will start and sputter for 2 seconds. It is extremely sporadic when it fires but never runs for longer than 3 seconds. 
       
      Here is where we sit:
      Brand New Fully Charged battery
      Carb was cleaned with air hose and carb cleaner then into the ultrasonic cleaner with Aircraft aluminum cleaner
      New Shindy Carb kit (made in Japan version)
      Cleaned out petcock and gas tank
      New 93 Non Ethanol Gas
      New Spark Plug
       
      It gets a spark through the spark test light every time
      Bluish white spark
      When holding the spark plug 1/4" - 3/8" away from head it will jump and spark to the head
      Good Compression
       
      Here are the readings:
       
      Pickup Coil 519 Ohms (range 459-561)
      Charging Coil 266 Ohms (range 270-330)
      Lighting Coil 0.700 (range 0.702-0.858)
      Spark plug Cap 10.58 Ohms (10kohms
      Ignition Coil Primary Coil 0.5 ohms (range 0.18-0.28 ohms)
      Ignition Coil Secondary Coil 8.20 kOhms (range 6.32-9.48 kOhms)
       
      Would y'all think stator and pick up coil, rectifier or CDI are the culprit?

      Starting this build thread to keep up with everything on my build and hope to motivate someone!
       
      I picked up this 2008 Yamaha Big Bear 250 2 weeks ago. A guy that I hunt with parked it at the hunt club for a year or so before I asked him if he wanted to sell. He said " fill my feeder and throw some batteries in my cameras, and you can have it". Sounds like a deal to me! 
      I have attached some pictures of how it sat under a tarp in the woods and when I got it home and cleaned up a little.

      Hey I have a 1997 big bear 350 4x4
      I replaced the shifter shaft and the shift arm linkage and the rod when I installed them all I was unaware that you had to line the dot on the shifter shaft with the gap on the linkage arm gap put it all back  together and rode it I can't get it to shift in the right gears  I can move the shift cam by hand and goes in different gears but with the shifter shaft in it riding I can't put it in R or N 
      Anyone know how to line up the shifter shaft and the shift cam s
