    Welcome to Quadcrazy @Rich1028 Holy crap that’s a gem, I love that bike!!! its like riding a bicycle, you will pick up right where you left off. You will find everything you need here on Quadcrazy! Great job in keeping that bike in such great shape and stay with it and ride safe brother.
  3. Frank Angerano
    Absolutely!

    Nice looking bike. I like the radiator mount. I’m a little leery of drilling holes in the exhaust. Should not have to do that, I disagree with ya having to do that, the amount of back pressure allotted for the engine is a design/performance thing. If there is an issue like that it’s a tuning thing. Do some research on the TPS for your bike. Look on YouTube. I’m sure it will open your eyes to some tuning tricks. Im sure your very excited!! It’s a bad as* bike. Be careful with that power.

    No need to thank me brother. I will see you this week.

    So the bike runs good, no more smoke ? Any more oil ?
  7. Frank Angerano
    Of course. Drain some oil off to the proper operating level indicated and see how she goes. It may take a minute for it to clear up so if you see it still smoke for a minute or two it’s fine.
  8. Frank Angerano
    That is an oil vent hose. Is it possible that you over filled the engine?
  9. Frank Angerano
    Where is the leak ? The pics don’t really show. Also you missing a bolt under the frame ? First pic ?

    Good point, I’m with you on the carburetor. @Dimelol it really does sound like it’s a carburetor issue. I would I go back and check it again and make sure all the proper oem jet sizes are in the carb, needle is set as per spec on the proper clip location and that air fuel screw is installed right and also in good condition. Sounds repetitive but worth the effort. I would still check the voltage on the battery while it’s running to make sure your getting the 14 volts at the battery and make sure your regulator is within spec just for sh*** and giggles.

    Here’s the wiring diagram. Mean time take a tester, put it in continuity and go across the two lugs on the solenoid. You should not get any reading. If so then yes it’s stuck in the closed position. Print this diagram out and do what I do, take a few different color highlighters and color code the wires. It makes it way easier to pick things apart.

    I would agree @spock58 but @Dimelol seems very confident the carb is good. My feeling is yes it’s a carburetor related issue. We have seen tons of times where members say they are 1000% sure the carburetor is not the problem and it turns out there is one small stupid thing that’s overlooked or just so small that it got missed. However that coil does seem very low and out of spec.

    Dam that’s great. Now you have to change your user name to wifes06kfx440 lololol

    That’s a great bike but honestly a bike like that I would leave as is. Maybe at best is a new set of some good tires. If you start messing with mods to a bike like that I think it won’t react very well and could open up a can of worms.
  15. Frank Angerano
    Yes by all means a tube would be a good idea for a cracking side wall where air eventually could leak. The last thing you need is to come back to a bike to go get a deer 🦌 to find a flat tire.
  16. Frank Angerano
    Hahaha that’s great. She got the clutch thing down no problem?

    What’s up Jacob, congrats on the bike. I would start by going through all the basic stuff first. Check the air intake for blockages or obstructions. Throw a new plug in, check the exhaust for anting blocking it. Take a look at the ecu for any moisture past or present. Check you throttle position sensor also. It could be out of spec. There is a tool to calibrate it. Just check the specs on the number. This is a big item that could be the culprit of your problems.

    The primary coil seems low so it’s obviously a concern. Have you checked your timing to see it has not jumped at all. Long shot but it definitely can happen. Purchase an in-line spark tester and throw it on to see how your spark is doing. Last thing is your pick up coil gap. Take a look at that and see what the spec is in the manual. Check the gap you have and compare the two.
  19. Frank Angerano
    Yes you should have power on that white wire all the time. From the positive terminal to the relay, at the relay it branches off internally into a small fuse holster that’s attached to the relay with a rubber cap over it. Have you located that’s and checked it? It could also be broken inside the relay. You can put a jumper from the positive terminal to that wire to test it your distribution of power to the controls but have a jumper with an in-line fuse just in case you or someone else made a wiring error down the line someplace. If you have checked the fuse and still no power then chances are the relay is broke.

    See if this helps. It’s a 500 but should be the same.

    There is a neutral safety switch located on the shifter side of the engine. It’s a light green and a red wire going into the engine. Take the light green wire from the harness side and ground it. That should close your stayer relay circuit. If so then you have an issue with the neutral safety switch.

    This is a typical carburetor issue. Take the carb off of the machine and brake it down good and clean it. If an engine starts by putting fuel in the head or by spraying starter fluid into the carburetor then it’s 100% a dirty carburetor. Keep in mind where the air fuel screw was set at and put it back at that spot when the carburetor is cleared. If your not sure how to do this then there is a post on carburetor rebuilds on the forum. Its not that bad to do so it’s something you can tackle. If you can’t find the post let me know and I will point you in the right direction.

    Your very welcome, keep us posted on the Kawasaki. Good luck.

    Great video! Keep them coming.

    I think your idea is good but for the most part I feel if something is strong enough to pierce your outer tire tread then the tube does not stand a chance. That’s why I always keep plugs and a small 12v compressor with me. My bikes all have a cigarette type power port to plug into. I also keep with me thanks to my buddy who rides bicycles is a Co-2 air supply. It’s super small and very powerful. I have this In case my compressor failed or my power port for any reason. If it’s a big tare then your screwed either way wether it be a tire of a tube. Just my thoughts on this anyway.
