Thank you for welcoming this newbie to the forum. My neighbors and I take down the fence and love to see the small children race in the yards and learn to respect each other. We have enjoyed having ATVs for us "Big Kids" and the grand kids.

Looking for a little help with diagnosing a noise on my 2001 Kodiak 400 YFM. It sounds like a stack cam chain. I checked the Tensioner and it appeared to be ok, but fully extended when I removed it for inspection. I opened the cam cover and the tensioner (aft) seems ok, chain seem tight. I also noticed that the pull starter feels very hard to pull. It seem like it might be turning over the starter as if it was still engaged. When it is started by the starter it makes a loud clang right before it starts. I read about the recoil clutch. Not sure if that might be the noise. The ATV is new to me. My neighbor has run it for the last year making the noise. Any help is greatly appreciated....Thanks..from tampa....

Hello all,

I've been riding and racing quads for many years, just riding for the last few. Time has paid it's toll on me. :) I have made many riding friends over the years and plan to make more.

Some of our favorite spots to ride are Wayne National Forest, Silver Lake Dunes, and Hatfield McCoy.

Hope to see some of you out on the trail this year.

Hey everybody. I'm looking to get into quads. I had a trx125 when I was younger and plan on buying something when I get home from this deployment. I want to get into some racing but just for fun. Most ride light trails and dunes though. Any thoughts on where I should start? I have about 100 hours of research already so I'm pretty sure I'm going with a yfz but I'm open to ideas if you have some to share. Thanks.

Hi All-

New to the site, not the hobby! My name is Trevor but my friends call me Rabbit. I just picked up a 1985 Honda ATC 200s. Usually the first thing I do when I get a new toy is join a forum so I can learn a little more about the machine. I mostly enjoy motorcycles, but I wanted something I could tool around the property on. Found this little peach for cheap so here I am. Im from Wisconsin and live in Colorado. Looking forward to playing in the snow if we ever get some! When summer arrives hopefully riding some trail. Just a little about me...

Erm, I'm new? Hello... British...

I bought a 50cc for my little girl for Christmas, second hand. No brakes (well no pressure on the cable from the drum so assume no shoes or mechanism) and was looking for some information on it and how I could make it a little mo girly and appealing for her?! So now I'm here!

Howdy!

Sam.

Cheers Gary, luckily it's already got a limiter on, I've degreased it all today and hosed it down. Also replaced part of the wiring loom that had burnt out. Wheels need a clean up and some rust grinding off, get my dad to make up some decals for it. I've got the brake housing off it but I can't get the drum off it! Looking for some kinda manual or YouTube video on how to do it! Thought I'd screwed it at one point with the wiring but it all came together! Just gotta figure out why it's not kicking out any power to the light next!

Very common quad but seems very difficult to get servicing manual!!!

      Hello folks, my machine wound up with I think water in the tank etc. It runs but speeds up and slows back down randomly. When not running I don't see gas dripping  from the drain nipple on bottom of float bowl and drain screw is closed tight. With normal idle speed I see no leaking. When the idle speed increases quite a bit on it's own, gas appears to start slowly dripping from float bowl drain nipple? I'm wondering if the carb is flooding and the gas is actually coming from higher up and just appears, to be coming out of nipple but, is actually running down the sides of the nipple? I put a kit in the factory Mikuni carb last year after sitting for a while and I think the gas in the jug I used had drawn moisture. I plan to pull the carb tomorrow and clean everything out. I was just curious if anyone else thinks it's probably something in the carb and is, acutally a flooding problem? Thanks Folks! 🙂

      South Florida.

      How much it worth?

      Pros: looking decent.

      Cons
      No brakes.
      Front wheel bearings are shot.
      Idles, but sometimes will shot off. Most likely when cold.
      Gas smell and little bit steam in the air filter box when I started it.
      Display screen won't work.
      Tires are dry with cracks.


      Not sure if has title, I will check and update.

      How much do you think it worth?

      My new 2023 Polaris Sportsman 850 is in the shop for a pinched Wiring Harness from the factory... 
      I did one ride on it (100kms), then to the shop for a month, waiting for them to replace it with a new one.
