  1. I would guess that your stator or regulator/rectifier is bad or there is a connection problem somewhere, check all electrical plugs and wires for loose fit or damage. It seems like the battery isn't holding a charge either, first thing I would do is have the battery tested. I would also check the voltage coming from the regulator/rectifier to the battery, this will be DC current. You will need to disconnect the wire from the battery when testing it. If it is low or none, then I would check the voltage coming from the stator, this will be AC current, so you will need to set your multimeter to AC voltage. If you don't have a multimeter, I would get one, they aren't too expensive and they are a must for tracking down electrical problems. Testing both, the stator output and regulator/rectifier will need to be done with the engine running. If the stator puts out no power, then that is probably the problem. If the stator does put out power, but you get no voltave from the regulator/rectifier, then the regulator/rectifier is the problem. This is ofcourse assuming that all connections are sound. Connection between to points can be tested with the multimeter too, use the continuity or resistance setting. Resistance should be next to nothing if there is a good connection.

    and thank you for writing all that stuff...future problems might bring this up haha.

  2. Yeah, Honda's are known to keep on going without maintenance. I wouldn't do it but I know plenty of people that don't and their machines are still running.

    Good advise on checking the valves and stuff but Honda makes machines that last.

    my friend has a crf 250 and its blown up 5 times already...

  3. Sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings about my stupid remark (suckie), I didn't mean to be a jerk. I was just looking for an answer to my question. I have been riding for over 40 years and just care about the other people riding this quad so nobody gets hurt. This is an extra bike for all to ride and enjoy. I have ridden most of the brands ( Blue,Red,Green,and yellow) and the best one is the one you are sitting on and enjoying on any given weekend, so enjoy what you ride.:biggrin:

    ATV Mechanic didn't get to look at the quad tonight maybe tomorrow, thanks for the info. Dave

    Ya just like dirtdemon said dont worry about hurting any ones feelings. i knew u wer just messing around. and its fun to do that, so keep it up :biggrin:

  4. I'm going to step in here and correct you.

    Wrapping any type of exhaust piping is a crucial and important step when controlling exhaust temperatures and reducing radiant heat by up to 50%. Keeping exhaust gases hotter within the exhaust system helps in decreasing density and increasing the flow of exhaust gases. This improves exhaust scavenging which, in turn, reduces intake temperatures for increased horsepower gains. Also, limiting the radiant heat trapped inside the engine bay decreases heat absorption through your legs.

    ya what he said lol
