Ok guys be easy got a lady here. Yes blonde, but not dumb:yes: Just got the new starter for the quad and wondering if I "really" need a clutch puller since I have to take both primary and secondary out to access the starter? I don't have one. :no:

Has anyone done it without one?? I'm gonna start on this tomorrow am so any and all comments will be appreciated,,,a little nervous bout removing the clutch anyway.....wish me luck!! :biggrin: thanks!!

Did'nt need to pull clutchs off ....drained gas, turned bike on side, took off recoil and heat sheild,,,,easy access. It started right up but low compression now so new piston and rings next..ugh!

You have to pull the clutch to get to 2 10mm bolts and most of the time if the starter has been replaced they don't put them back in so if you pull the pull starter and remove the 2 bolts each side the Bendix and also the skid plate the starter MIGHT come out if its missing the 2 10 mm bolts on the back side of the starter. You can get the 2 bolts out without removing the clutches it just take a while cuz you can only turn it 1/4 turn but really tough to put back in with the clutches on...and the reason why they are missing most of the time..I don't mind helping over the phone if you need it..Todd POLARISATVREPAIR.COM

Thanks Todd, sorry but I was impatient:yes: and did it that way, and it worked well, except for the need to replace the piston and rings now....ugh!! (low compression). I kept the old one going to replace the brushes and keep it for a spare since this is a common thing for this quad it seems (bad starter).

      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.

      Hello All
      I'm kinda new to ATVs. I just bought a 1987 Suzuki quad runner 230 Dual Range. I'm having a problem finding info on it. It's very clean, only 2.800 miles. The front wheels are only 30 in.center to center. I was thinking about adding wheel spacers to give it more stability. I realize the added stress on ball joints and bearings. I'm wondering if there are any other concerns? Any input is greatly appreciated!

      I'm trying to help a buddy out with his bike (he's not really on the internet or familiar with these forums) and I'll admit that I am not super familiar with the transmission and clutches in these bikes. I owned a Brute a few years ago, but never had an issue like this that I had to troubleshoot.
      So basically my buddy bought a group lot of 650's to build one good bike out of. He got it all put together and has it running but when he pushes on the throttle the clutch doesn't engage till the RPM's are quite high and even when its moving it doesn't really speed up, almost seems like its in "limp mode". He's tried 2 different transmissions so I don't think that's the problem. 
      Is there any adjustment on the clutch engagement? Anything else I can tell him to look at? Let me know if you need anymore information if you think you can help.

I was going through a Mud HOLE Either there was a log or a rock, or A Dip but just as I was almost through it, Machine, Rolled over on my right side, as soon as I contacted the ground, I Heard A SNAP! I got up, flipped the Quad back over. I had the wind knocked out of me.
