  1. The question shown above, about the noise when in 4 wheel drive, is the last thing, as far as I know, that I haven’t solved. The noise is a loud “ clank”, when in 4 wheel drive, and going down hill. I can watch the front drive shaft when it makes the noise, which is about every 4-8 seconds, or so many revolutions of the drive shaft, but can’t tell if it’s the u- joints, or internal to the front differential.
  2. Well, I’ll just keep asking and maybe somebody will eventually stumble across this and have an answer. Right now I’m just needing, if it exists, a Carb tuning guide for my quad. The quad is a 2002 Suzuki 500 King Quad LT-F500F. The carb is a Mikuni model BST34SS, ID # 09F5. Any help on this is much appreciated. As a new Mikuni is 400 to 500 bucks, and a worthless clone is 75 to 150 bucks, I’m still trying to work with what I have. This series Mikuni is new to me with the vacuum operated slide with attached main jet needle. So, that’s all for now.

  3. I’m now badly needing a part for the carb. So far no luck anywhere. The carb is a 09F5, on my 2002 Suzuki King Quad 500 4X4. The part needed is shown below.

      I’ve finally solved the carb problem. I bought a VM series, universal replacement. This carb requires a good bit of work to adapt it to a quad that came with what I call a constant velocity carb, I don’t know anything about it other than what is shown above as it’s model #. I’d be happy to detail all steps necessary to install a VM, if anyone is interested. I don’t check this site very often, as I’d not had any responses to my issues. The VM, as far as tuning it to work on my quad, was not an extensive process, and it runs really well. The VM is old school, it ain’t built for economy or emissions, it’s built to run and run hard, and I’m thrilled with the performance.

  4. I have had a 2002 Suzuki King Quad 500 for almost a year. This is a question I’ve posted before, but likely missed the answer due to being new to the site. Here’s the issue. When in 4 wheel drive, especially in low range, especially when pulling a load downhill, I hear a lot of clanking in the front end. As if the front drive shaft was binding then unbinding. A friend who had a 1987 Dodge 4x4, told me all the noise his front end made when in 4 wheel drive was entirely normal. So, is this something I should worry about? I have all the bodywork and tank off right now doing a valve adjustment and carb rebuild. If I gotta do something, I’d like to do it now. Lastly, I’d love to find a carb tuning guide for this era of Mikuni. Haven’t tracked one down yet. Any thoughts of where to find one? Great forum. Have really enjoyed it so far.
  5. I have a 2002 Suzuki LT-F500F, and am a first time atv owner. I rode two wheel bikes for many years, and now, two months in to being a new at owner, am just not enamored with the thumb throttle, and I’m wondering if anyone has tried a conversion to a typical twist grip throttle as found on all motorcycles? If so, how do you like it?
  6. I posted on 6/17 in response to someone looking for a manual on where to get one for a ‘02 LT-F500F. As I don’t yet know how to navigate this forum, I can’t tell if it helped. I’ve had the quad now for about a month. I’ve yet to do a front to back top to bottom maintenance overhaul. I have all the fluids etc, just waiting for a time slot. So, here’s a question. I just in the last two days really put it to the test as far as towing. I had a 60 gal tank sprayer, grinding up and down some hilly terrain around my house, trying to kill the last of the grass here in the foothills of central California. I was in 4x4, in low range and on the down hill runs, I’d hear an occasional loud “ clank”. Is this normal? Lastly, I’ll be rebuilding the carb, as it doesn’t like to idle, and it was pretty grumpy going uphill as to a bit of surging and just not being smooth. Any hints on this carb? I’ve got the kit, I’m real comfortable with tackling a new to me carb for a rebuild, but am always happy for pointers from those who have been there before.

    Thanks,

    Roy
