Hey guys,

New peep here and I have come to ask a question. I currently own a Honda Fourtrax and have come across a Yamaha Kodiak 400. It has all time 4wd. Not sure of the year but think it is in the mid-90's. The quad is in very very good shape except for one little thing. the motor is blown. The guy wants $500.00 bucks for it. Is it worth it? I can rebuild it no problem but feel that $500.00 might be a bit much for a quad with a blown motor. What does everyone else think?

Welcome to QUADCRAZY! If you had the year, it would be easier to figure out. It really depends on how much to fix it normally if someone else was to do it, at a shop, how much that would cost....subtracted.

Hi guys,

He was not in the shop today so couldnt get more info. A friend of ours mentioned he thinks the cam chain broke. If thats the case, I am probably looking at atleast 1 new valve. probably a piston(piece of mind) and hopefully the rod wont be bent. When he gets back into town, I will have to get the run down on it. Thank you for the responses!

      Quad to pull flail mower - Eiger, Kodiak, Big Bear ?
      By Fonne
      Hi 
      Is looking for a quad to pull a flail mower as my first priority, but also a bit of fun. 
      So its going to be pulling a flail mower on high grass / weed on a bumpy field at pretty low speed. 
      My budget is not high, so is mostly looking at a old Yamaha Kodiak 400cc / Suzuki Eiger 400cc or similar. 
      What machine would you recommend  ?  - Really want a solid machine since I am no mechanic but can perform a early service myself. 

      (English is not my native, hope it makes sense)

      2009 Honda Rancher TRX420FA with shifting problems
      By Cj Winds
      I have a 2009 Honda Rancher TRX420FA with shifting problems.
      Usually it shifts ok when cold but after couple minutes it will stop shifting with no codes.
      The 1st shift clutch oil pressure when in first gear is 74psi. The 2nd shift clutch oil pressure when in second gear is 74psi.
      The 1st shift clutch oil pressure when in neutral is zero. The problem is when the tranny is in neutral the 2nd shift clutch pressure starts around 10-15psi and builds to 20psi. Is this normal?

      1988 Yamaha 350 Big bear No spark
      By cfherrman
      Fixing for a friend. Atv was at a different friends house to be fixed and he rebuilt the carb and had it running nice, then it shut off and no more. He replaced the key and the coil.
       
      So he got busy, so I am helping, I checked the wiring from the stator to the cdi, and from the cdi to the coil. All is good. I checked resistance on the pickup coil, good, and on the source coil, open. I buy a new stator (China) and the 4 prong plug only has 3 wires in it while mine has all 4. I checked resistance in the source coil and it's in the 300's. I pulled one of the old pickup wires out of the old stator and wire it in the new one. Still no spark.
       
      Why do the wires differ, I checked the VIN again and it's "J" for the year and I got a 1988 stator. Please help!

      2000 honda recon battery charging
      By Mikey509
      Hey guys, so I've been messing with my quad, and between all the starts, the battery is dead. Is there a certain way to charge these? Can I just throw a trickle charger on it and call it a day? can i also jump it like a normal car with a battery pack or is that to much voltage
