  2. if it turns slowly, its the battery. or the connections AT the battery. go back in there and do it carefully, and charge that battery more. It may be junk. Clean your ground cable connection too.
  3. your ignition box is shot. most are made by Hitachi and have a number on them like 4H9-21 check our ebay and see if you can buy one used...
  4. yes, I contacted the owner and ATVFan was sold to a large company which owns many sites. So now its just floating in cyberspace.... I put so many years into that site! What killed it is when he got rid of moderators and decided to use bots instead- a fatal mistake. BOTS dont answer tech questions or know anything more than they are told. FATAL ERROR. I hope it cost him big!
  5. yep, start by bleeding them, bring your patience and a friend with you. Changing pads is often done wrong the first time. Buy some brake fluid before you star and always use new, clean fluid OK? The repair manual should help you. Remember brake fluid is hygroscopic [it attracts moisture] so keep a lid on it OK? Discs a reall simple and hard to screw up so Ill bet youll have brakes after bleeding it some. Dont try to adjust the parking brake until you have rear brakes working properly...thats the cable
  6. There are too many variables to say that there is just one thats the best.
  7. check the condition of your battery too, especially if its been sitting. It needs a full charge to start that sucker, and it the batt is shot, theres just no way around buying a new one.
  8. metal, fiber, metal, fiber, make sure they are staggered. And when you install all new plates, you are gonna need to adjust the linkage! Look in your book and adjust the linkage to specs. Your new clutch SHOULD have come with complete instructions from Barnett...also, if you have AutoZone motor oil in it, drain it out right now! and go get the proper oil from Yamaha. It costs more but car oil has additives that will shorten the life of that expensive clutch you just bought. Let us know if you cant figure it out
  9. TORS handles the idle on then stockers... have you talked to Vito's? I'll bet they have a cure. Did you use the Toomey jets that came with the pipes? Vito will prob sell you a TORS elimination kit. With all your mods, it's prob the best way to go.
  10. I have some new grips on the Maxim that are really nice- I'll let you know what brand they are tomorrow. they are cushy but kinda sticky at the same time.
  11. not too dusty, unless you were behind Mike or that Banshee... that wash was almost a trials course! I hope you had some nice open runs like a desert race. bloody hands? maybe you should check out some gel grips- there are some really clever ones out there. You look good in Thor gear, happy to see it!
  12. I too have no complaints with my THOR gloves. wear em tight so they don't blister your hands.
  13. AC tech? WELCOME! Your skills will be helpful here! :partyc:
  14. rings. get a cleanup bore and install that new piston and ride it for 10 more years.
  15. yeah you put a little shoe polish on his nose and you got Chewbacca! LOL
  16. which of Judge Napolitano's parents is the WOOKIE? Have you seen this guy? He's in his 60's and has more hair than THREE teenagers!! just curious. I asked Beck since they can't do anything to him anyway. Curious if/how he responds.
  17. well your english had dramatically improved. BYE-BYE
  18. sell it, ride it like it is or order a new frame. I'll bet you can find a good used one if you search around some.
  19. that's the one! when the power poles aren't going by fast enuf....
  20. sounds like the timing is 180 out... shouldnt be related to the stator tho... pull the plug and pop off the timing cover- make sure everything is where it should be... make sure your valves are closing too- it is commonly overlooked and easy to do.
  21. I like goin fast myself... I grew up in the desert... I often find myself searching for 6th gear... hahaha wish it had one!
  22. set it on level ground Greg and get out the tape measure. compare side to side and you'll soon see the source of your problem. Sounds like something is still bent...
  23. I don't know what to tell you Theresa. what is a Baja 300 Extreme? I mean, who built it? Is the Zook engine stock? Used parts i usually start on ebay or google search it. Let us know more about it and perhaps someone can help.
  24. I have a 'go fast' quad as well. How many clutches did you guys smoke?
  25. Josh, we must go riding together one of these days- we are not that far apart for the west coast- where we measure distance in hours....
