I had a 4 wheeler a bit ago that was hard to idle, hard to start, popped at WOT after running a while...always ran great cold. Issue on that one turned out to be trash in the bottom of the gas tank. As you ran and disturbed the gas it would shake up the bits and clog the screen on the petcock. After it sat a bit, the trash would fall off the petcock and it would run fine again until it stopped up again..vicious cycle. cleaned the tank and never had an issue with it again. Might be unrelated to your issue, but something to consider.

Vehicle insurance (or boat, ATV, etc) is a real oddity. It's one of few things that we purchase primarily to protect others. Here in AR, you need liability insurance at a minimum...and that is just to protect someone else's property should you damage it. Completely different than health insurance, crop insurance, etc. Why do we buy trashbags with the sole intention to throw them away? I know no other product that you can buy just to throw away.

Hello folks! I'm Mitch, from Pittsburgh, PA, and new to the site. Between me and my son, we own an old Suzuki LT250S, a Kawasaki KFX400 and a YZ250. My young granddaughters love messing around on an old Suzuki FA50 moped. We're going to be getting them their own quads in the near future. I hope to gain some knowledge while I'm here.

@Beef Shadow i ride up in Cairo NY as well as some surrounding properties. I also head to lost trails with @06kfx440 when we can. Its a great place to ride. Usually camp the night so we can get two days of riding in.

Hey @Randel1 welcome to Quadcrazy. Sounds like you have a interesting job! Well all I can say brother is you've come to the right forum! I came here a few years back looking for help on a tricky problem on one of my quads. Now prob 15 quads later i buy, fix sell and ride my as* off with my oldest son. So welcome aboard and let us know what bike you have, make year and model and I'm positive you will get all the info you need to fix it.

Hello everyone. I am here to learn, share my limited knowledge and hopfully fix a broken ATV. I have been active in everything from automobile engine overhaul to 2 and 4-cycle equipment repair and maintenance. I have a 50 year plus background in airbourn electronics repair and maintenance as well as formal electrical/mechanical technical training with the Department of Defence. All that being said I still get stumped when I can not find the technical drawings, wiring diagrams, voltage and/or resistance specifications and support documentation needed when unusual problems present themselves. Which brings me to the reason I have turned to Quadcrazy.com. I will be spending a little time getting familiar with this site then posting some questions concerning some particular problems with a customers ATV that I have in the shop for repair. Hopefully someone will be able to enlighten me and I will gladly help others as well to the best of my ability. Thanks in advance and get out there and make some noise.

Thanks, I bought Maxxis big horn 2.0’s (take off from a Yamaha Viking) which I learned after I bought them that they are different then off the rack big horn 2.0’s which is a piss off. Apparently the Yamaha ones are 4 ply rears and 2 ply fronts instead of 6 ply like the off the rack and the take offs are biased and not radials... That doesn’t make sense to me and is a piss off but I guess it is to save Yamaha money and mislead buyers.. atleast I got them for a good price.

Hello, thanks for having this great site i just bought my first new to me quad. I bought a 2008 Yamaha Bug Bear 400. I got it mainly for hunting but it came with a snow plow so the first test run at home was plowing mine and my neighbors driveways. Anyways thanks again. Scott

Hi all, im new here. just bought my first atv, polaris sportsman 450 HO, and figured this is a good place to get info when things start to go wrong. And as we all know, things eventually go wrong.

Hello, I've recently gotten back into Atvs over the last year. It seems this site popped up while I was out of the game. I've currently got 4 atvs now: 2008 Sportsman 800, 2008 Sportsman 400, 2002 Trailblazer and a 2007 Grizzly 660.

Ride a 03 650 Rincon and a 99 450 Foreman, looking forward to this community.

Just own an older LT80 at this time. Also, my older kids build and modify go-karts for street and dirt use. We have a couple old dirt bikes. We also do a lot of auto restoration work. Working on Quads is new but i think is going to be fun. In North Canton, OH area Peter
