Gentlemen.  Please..let's not turn this into a sh** show...we all have opinions.  Right or wrong who cares...just ignore the ones you don't like and enjoy the ones you do.

Ya it is pretty comical,  But it does relate to to OP'S issue...well only if he has a wet clutch 😛

Gee you guys. We've had wet clutches for more than a hundred years, and the manufacturers know quite a bit about their design and operation...  What do you think we were doing for oils before the jaso standards were set ? We were doing what suzuki and every other bike manufacturer was telling us..  Using a suitable oil. They recommend a suitable oil, but it was never any jaso standard.

Now that we have modern cars and modern oils to choose from and a lot more additives than we used to, then sure we need to be careful what we do put in our bikes, but it doesn't mean that only the jaso certified oils are safe.

Just because some of you put some sort of car or truck engine oil in your bike and then had a slipping clutch, it doesn't mean we are all going to put the wrong oil in... If we follow the manufacturers recommendations and read the oil's label we will be right.. Old suzuki's do not have to have jaso certified oils in them.. There was no jaso oil spec when they came out...  They ran fine for years with common old mineral oils.

Please stop insisting that we have to use jaso certified oils..  It's not true. There are heaps of oils out there that are of better quality and imminently suitable, and cheaper, than some of the bike shop oils that have a jaso rating.

Mech, back in the good ole days we didn't have to worry about friction additives in oils because they hadn't been invented yet. Oil was oil...a wet clutch was a wet clutch...technology changed all that. You can put what ever you like in your crankcase,  your call.

I use rotella T6 full Synthetic in most all my toys and cars....NEVER had an issue...and it's JASO  rated...

Reg engine oil contain friction modifiers.

JASO oils DO NOT.

Wet clutch packs do not like friction modifiers.

Check your oil. If you have a wet clutch  you require Jaso approval on the oil

got my head back from the machine shop and this part was not there

2007 honda trx400ex cylinder head

spring plunger #14126 kv2 940       #5 on the parts diagram

i have the plunger  part # 4 on the diagram.

can i re assemble without the spring ?????. do i need the honda part of will a ball point pen spring do ?

what is this part for

3 rides since the repair and NO LEAKS ....all good best $200 spent I'd say

Yes...skill indeed...the welding shop is not cheap..but do excelent work.

Problem solved...took it to a reputable welding shop  ( engine still together ) and had them weld it up....works like a charm...only $200 for the repair, compared to stripping it down and replacing the engine case.

Polaris offers an app called Ride command for your phone...it can track your rides and save them among other things. But I think you have to be a Polaris owner

Thanks Frank...do you have a link to the secondary drain plugs please?

I have a 2018 570 eps. I find the EBS to be quite strong , enough to skid the rear tires. To overcome this I add a touch of throttle and apply brakes...when decending . It's just a matter of getting used to it.

A friend has a 07 trx 400ex..the engine drain bolt housing has a couple of cracks where the drain bolt threads in and is leaking oil...a one had any luck sealing this area with JB weld or something similar ?

I have a poly dump trailer.aprox 4x3.came with the lawn tractor....use it with the quad as well.don't know what i would do without it

I'm not going for a full wrap....just enough to give it character....i just don't want it to look like every other 570 out there. 

Over the winter i could only apply the wrap to panels that i could bring inside. Come spring i will finnish it.

Sorry $117 CDN to the door

$87.00 CDN+ shipping $107 to the door

Oh ya....im from Ontario Canada
