Good video. Thanks for posting. The guy said he tried brake cleaner but every brand of brake cleaner has different solvents or different ratios of fillers, propellants, and solvents. Toluene is what you want and Walmart's super tech brand has the most of that according to the MSDS and from what I can tell by using it. Hate to let the secret out of the bag especially since that brake cleaner had been fairly hard to find during the pandemic, but if any chemical is going to work it would be that. But if I went to the trouble to tear it down I'd probably just buy new disks. Actually, I have a set that's been soaking in oil for the last 4 years. It turned out that the slippage was from being low on oil so I didn't need to change them yet.

That looks like where quads go after they die lol Get some semi truck mud flaps cut into strips and bolt those to the plastics. Indestructible! And they look kinda cool too. You could weld some angle iron to the front racks to cover that mangling. I did that anyway just to beef it up. I'm in no hurry on the head. It's just to throw on the shelf and hopefully I'll never need it. I guess I just want one before they can't be found anymore. I also have a terrible time keeping a speedo cable working. I've bought 2 or 3 of them and they keep breaking. Commodore 64 was my first. I ran up a $1000 phone bill calling atlanta to get on the "internet" lol. My parents were pissed!

Looks like you've come to the right place 😉.

Agreed, I never buy anything from my local dealer, they are strictly retail, there are several online OEM parts places that I use that are much cheaper, still expensive, but much cheaper than local dealer.

From that I can tell you've either done a lot of reading or a lot of living lol What are your plans? Are you going to fix n flip them? Or build one up into something? Or something in between? The head is the same as the 250S Quadsport so there are lots of cams to choose from. Likewise with the piston. You could even get crazy with a KZ1000 piston and resleeve.

The pic with the blue goop oozing out the inspection plug for the cam is very concerning. It's pretty common for that goop to find its way onto the cam bearing with disastrous results. I use as little goop as possible on the valve cover and I've seen some guys who don't use any. The first thing you're going to want to check on those machines is the regulators. It's a known issue and if they aren't bad, they will be soon. I'd pop them off and have a look at the epoxy on the back. I'd also be checking the intake valve lash. If there is no lash then the intake valve and seat are toast. Reach out if you have questions. There isn't much about those machines that I didn't know at one time lol

The book I looked in says the 4wd has a screw, but the 2wd doesn't show anything.. Presumably a plastic lug or clip ?
