Am i wrong ? But correct me if i am. Everytime a new atv comes out on the market it seems like 2-3 years before any performance enhancers are available to the public. Ohh well, at least i found a irridium spark plug which helped my performance noticeably.

Thanks for the info guys, but i am gonna have to get in good with a different mech. ! My front grille got butchered up when they " Professionaly " installed my winch. Imagine taking a hi-speed dremel and cutting thru plastic, then it gets hot, bubbles up and looks like crap !! Thats what happened to me, should have been measured twice, cut little by little using some sort of a side cutter, sheet metal cutter, then filed or sandpapered down to look good. I dunno i was a helicopter mechanic/aircrewmember for 11yrs in the Army and everything had to be perfect, because you have, lives, and equipment at stake. THX Again guys/gals !!

      Which ATV hold better value as used
      By prdicon
      I was looking to buy a new ATV. 
      I was debating between Polaris sportsman 450 and Honda rancher.
      Polaris it a bit cheaper.
      But can you tell me which one will have more demand on the used market? Which one will keep it's value better?
       
      Let's say 3-5 years from now.

      TRX300 No spark

      My 1992 TRX00 recently stopped firing.  I understand this is a common problem. I have ordered an aftermarket CDI unit.    TJ

      Has anyone found aftermarket CDI for Big Bear 400?
      By Callaway
      I am trying to diagnose a no spark issue with my 02 Big Bear 400 and I am really hoping it is not a CDI.  I have done the test on the stator and I believe that is faulty.  I ordered a new aftermarket one from a the jungle website and it tested bad right out of the box so I am waiting for a different one to arrive from an ATV parts supplier.  I started looking out of curiosity at CDI units and it seems if it is for a big bear you are SOL.  Kodiaks, no problem.  Big Bear. No such luck.

      Kawasaki Bayou no spark
      By Guest
      Hey all, new to the forum! I just bought a 1998 Kawasaki bayou 300, 4x4 not running. Initially I found no spark. Ended up playing with the plug wire (made sure plug top and wiring was touching) and got spark yesterday and the quad fired up off ether. Come to work on it today and now no spark again. Before I got spark and now today if I touch the plug after cranking I get shocked, and it will spark after I release the starter button. I was jumping the quad with a freshly charged car battery that has 12v while cranking. Cleaned out the kill switch and ignition button. All looks good. Purchased new plugs. They're are a lot of wires cut/ disconnected. But shouldn't matter if I got spark without them connected...

      2006 LT-F400F stator/generator cover change: What is the best way to check that all is good with the transfer operation before reassembling?
      By middlebrookgt
      I have replaced the cracked stator cover on my non-running 2006 LT-F400F that I purchased recently, checked all the shafts vs the service manual and pics and advice here.  I replaced missing gears, bushings and washers, made sure that truth marks were all aligned properly, that the shift cam springs felt like they returned properly, etc.  IAfter installing the new stator cover I checked the transfer lever for proper movement from L-H-R and then cranked it up.  Happily, it runs and changes gears well in L,  but it will not shift into H or R for anything.  I have opened it back up and am going back through it looking for the missing puzzle piece(s) but how can I best check that I have everything right this time before buttoning it back up?
