Hello to everyone,

I just joined tonite so I guess Im about as new as one can be! lol

I have a small farm in north central Missouri, I have a couple Yamaha quads, an 02 Grizzly 660 and an 87 Big Bear 400. From what I have seen thus far this seems to be a friendly, knowledgable, and helpful group of people and Im excited to be a member. I hope I will be able to contribute as well.

It would be wonderful to get together with other members to go riding someday, if at all possible.

Best wishes to all!

Hi,

I am new to quads, I got my kids a 2021 Kawasaki 50cc and I ended up riding it and doing a few easy mods to it. I think I took the spark resistor out of it and the speed screw out and also took the clutch speed collar off the clutch and at that point I wanted my own to tinker with. My brother in-law sold me a 1997 Suzuki LT-F250 QuadRunner for 200 bucks and it had a Chinese carb on it and would not run. I did some tinkering and seen that it for sure needed a carb and a fuel pump. So I bought a used Mikuni Carb original to it and a shindy carb rebuild kit and rebuilt the carb and put a new fuel pump on it and now it runs fine. I have maybe 380 bucks tied into it total now. Kinda got the bug now..lol

Hello from Missouri, 72 year old outlaw here doing his best to stay in the game.  Owned several bikes in my life, but just acquired my first quad. It's a Yamaha Bear Tracker, still working out what year it is but think it's a 2002 give or take a year. It had sat for several yrs before I got it so has a few problems. Both front brakes were locked up. I released them by loosening the connection at the master cylinder just so I could push it the ramps onto my pickup. Will look into that later but right now my first priority is to get it running. I was able to start it when I got it home by giving it a shot of starting fluid in the carb throat but wouldn't stay running. Took the carb off and gave it what I felt was a thorough cleaning and it did help. It starts and can even be rode but bogs down under a load and have to go very easy on the throttle to get it going. Big improvement over yesterday but looks like I'll need to give the cleaning another go round, apparently missed something somewhere. Anyways, came here looking for information so glad to be here and and any advice will be much appeciated.

Follow up on carb cleaning. Took it back apart this morning and repeated everything I did yesterday plus ran copper wire into every orifice I could find and put it back together and re-installed. Started right up and runs great. Don't know what I missed yesterday but must have found it today. Rode around the fields and woods for about an hour with no problems. Next step is to get the front brakes working which I hope to get to tomorrow. Two of the four tires are leaking air through cracks and around rims so considering whether to put tubes in them or bite the bullet and replace the tires. Tons of tread left on the old ones but sitting in the dirt for so long has taken a toll on the rubber.

      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.
