I have a 86 moto4 200. I got it when i was a kid and it still lives. My first ever oil change I drained the oil and like a good boy filled the oil to the top of the dipstick. Thought thats what the manual said. 4 and a half quarts i dumped in then went for a ride. Bout 100 ft down the road the bike started puking oil at me. I was drenched and my father beat my as* good for not reading right, getting oil all over the driveway and wasting oil..... Never did that again

easier to get a chuckle out of that story now, but it must have been devastating when you did it back then. i had a couple friends that washed their dads' car before the dad took it downtown to fill up at the gas station. little did the dad know, but being a 'good kid' and not knowing any different, my buddy filled the gas tank up with the water hose he was using to wash the car... :huh:

moral of stories are >>> $hit happens ... :yes:

I can laugh now but yes i was panicing. Where the oil came out of im not sure. Probably a breather i never noticed.

On a side note i lost the manual in the move and havent changed the oil in years until recently. Id go years without any maintenance. Still starts right up and can pull wheelies still

      Hi all, I have a 1994 Bayou 220 with low compression, how do I decide if I need a new top end or just rings?
    • By 97kingquad
      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?

      Hello I appreciate the welcome into the group. I am beyond frustrated with this desperate search for parts. I have a 2013 XY power sports UTV 300. I had a catastrophic failure in my rear differential which resulted in the destruction of almost everything inside. I have located everything I need to completely redo the rear end. But I cannot find a short side axle shaft with six splines etc. it's an offset differential and one shaft is longer than the other and I need the short one. The tip of it broke off (pic). Any help in getting another shaft for this thing would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks guys
