I took the cover off the pulse generator, It looks like someone threw a handfull of rust in there. Can someone tell me what is going on. And how to keep this from happening again. Thanks Bruce

the stator cover? more than likely it has been a build up from over the years (30) and has let go and freed itself up. the stator usually gets a little bit of oil from the crank. maybe from more use you have been putting on it, it has just fallen off and will be ok now if it got cleaned out. hopefully the stator is still ok ....

The pulse generator is located on the left side of the motor near the top of the cylinder. It rotates on the same shaft as the cam. Driven by the timing chain. Bruce

      Pulled my '86 Moto4 out of shed where it sat for 20 years. I knew it smoked. checked it over a little put in gas and it fired right up!! 
      Drove about 100 yards, ran about half throttle wouldn't idle.  Put on somenew parts, jug/piston and rings, carb and valve seals.
      'went together ok, tuned it over by hand about 6 revs whick went well. Hit the starter it fired for about 6 revs and quit. tried it again fired once and then th sound of something slipping like maybe chain slipping over spoket.
      Took cover off to watch cam sproket, hit starter again, heard same noise and the cam sproket was not turning but jumping a bit. Chain was still tight. You will probably tell me I need to split the lower case but hoping there mightbe something else.
      I don't fully understand the chain tightener, the plunger only moves about 1/4 inch, should it move much more than that when off the motor and compressing it by hand?
      Thanks for any thoughts.

      Sorry, bit of newbie question on Honda TRX520
      Can anyone tell me if it is necessary to drain the engine oil to just remove the oil filter cover?
      I recently carried out an oil change and when checking afterwards, found oil leaking from around the oil filter cover (was torqued to 10Nm). I am going to get new O rings to be on the safe side, but was wondering how high the oil level in the engine sits relative to the pump filter and do I have to drain the oil?
      TIA

      I have a 99 Yamaha bear tracker and I have converted the front brakes from drum to disc fairly easy but I cant figure out how to convert the rear with out hacking apart the rear arm. tried to use parts from a wolverine since the rear arms look similar but the caliper mount didn't line up on the bear tracker axle. Can anyone give me any clues or has anyone successfully converted the bear tracker rear brakes. I would even purchase a conversion kit if there is one. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

      Hi Guys, this Quadmaster has an extremely loud bang after turning key off (from idle), scares the stock, dog and missus, any ideas on what to check.
      Thanks and regards,
