Quite a heard, I have 2 suzuki eigers, 2004 and 2007, 400s, both run good but one is a project I hadn't got to yet. I also have a 2000 big bear, neglected, that im having trouble getting spark, im working on getting it going now. I would have more but my wife said I don't know what a grown man needs with 3 4 wheelers.

Yeah - it will be fun! Every tube and wire on it seems to be disconnected. But, it is a project for my son and myself so no matter what happens, it is worth it. Once I get the manual, we'll see if we can figure it all out.

Most of the above. They took the plastics off and looks like they disconnected every electronic cable in the front. They also took off the throttle cable and unit, took out the airbox and disconnected every vacuum tube in that area. Closest I can tell is they were going to remove the carb but never got to it (though I will probably need to since there is still fuel in the tank and probably in the carb that has been there for who knows how many years).

Thankfully, the engine is still all together. I can turn it over using the hand pull after opening the vacuum release, so it turns and seems to have good vacuum (though I don't have a vacuum tester yet to see what it really is). The front brakes don't do anything but the back work well. I am needing to download the manual (once I reach 10 posts) to begin to really look at it. Hoping to get a battery attached to it soon so I can begin to see if there is any power to anything and begin figuring out the wiring to re-connect it.

You will need a good multimeter also for any wirings,but Manuel s are good but hands on experience is all ways the best just have to not be afraid to dive in a project,and if you come into a problem then come here and there are some good people with allot of background to help you out. Wish you 🤞🍀

Hello,

Just came across this forum, always nice to find one that is still active. I'm a farmer with more projects than time to do them, always seem to have some form of three wheeler or quad in the shop. I have a (probably bad) habit of buying old ATVs and ATCs that need work for cheap so I'm always looking for some kind of information or advice on how to keep these old beauties running.

I managed to get all the plastic off the frame but left the engine, harness and electrical components intact. The frame had been undercoated so the main frame was in relatively good shape, just some superficial rust. The side frames and areas that couldn’t be flushed was rotting with rust. The rear motor mounts will also need to be reinforced. I was told the engine runs good but needs a new fuel pump so I purchased an aftermarket pump. I’m now waiting to get the frame with motor back from my welder. I would like to replace as much hardware as I can with stainless and hope I can figure out what order all the plastic pieces go back in.

New here, made an intro post in the new members section already but figured I’d reply here too.

Trying to get my old beat up quest 650 fixed so I can hit the trails again!

      Greetings to all.  New to the forum, but not to ATVing.  I started when they only had 3 wheels!  Getting back into riding.  Polaris 850.  Too many bells and whistles, but what do you do.  Scouting out places to ride legally now.

      2005 TBX 500 Auto HELP Please

      Background,
      This winter (Dec.) I was plowing and everything just died, just quit.  No lights, no pull start, No nothing.  I've had this problem before and I changed the voltage reg and it ran fine for over a year. Then this.  So I changed it again, thinking this was the same problem.  Tried to start it and a small pin hole in the CDI appeared with electrical smoke.  
      Months go by and I finally decide to just replace parts (I'm Horrible at electrical issues).  I changed the stator, new CDI, new Voltage reg, new starter solenoid, tested the starter (prefect), charged the battery.  
      Went to start it and the solenoid rapidly clicked.  All the dash lights on, headlights work.  Pull stared it and it fired right up no issues.  Looked into the rapidly clicking starter solenoid and it was not enough juice in the battery.  Took the battery completely out and hooked up a jump box to it turned the key, light on, everything looks good.  Pushed the starter button and it fired right up ran great.  Turned it off to test it again, Turned the key and nothing.  No dash lights nothing.  Took the jump box off and pulled started it.  Started it right up.  Re-hooked the jump box, still nothing.
      Any Ideas?

      Hi all! I'm a new member from northern Saskatchewan. I plan on buying a new ATV and do some exploring in the Precambrian Shield/Boreal Forest this coming Spring.
      I hope to learn as much as I can on here before I make a purchase.
      Thanks.
