I usually take videos with my phone and downsize it to 420 it still looks good and i havent had any problems posting it.

The problem i had is they would start and run and idle but would not keep up with the timing advance i figured it may be specific to different engines and gave up.

Good project im curious as to the outcome. I have not had much luck at doing this.

I revisited the photos it is very severe , a photo or video of the actual tire doing this would be helpful in diagnosing the problem.

Good observation Mech, that would also correspond to what i was calling a flat spot, which is the part of the tire that was touching the ground with no air in it, my thought was if you inflate it to 10psi and let it sit for a couple of days it may pull some of that back out, even ride it and see if it still makes the same pattern in the gravel, i wouldnt ride it hard overinflated ,but enough to see if it makes a difference. It would also be a good idea to jack it up and check the bearings and final drive and roll the tire so you can look at it better for roundness.

If those are the original tires, probably not, but its worth a try. You might try over inflating it a bit and see if that helps, maybe let it sit overinflated for a couple of days, spray some tire foam on it to help rejuvinate the rubber. Does it feel ok or does it seem to bounce on that side?

It looks like low pressure in that tire but im sure you checked that. The other thought, not knowing the history of the tires, it might have set with low pressure for a while and developed a flat spot, or as Mech suggested a bulge in the tire.

Good info here, thanks for sharing.

Im not familiar with these, looks like a great machine.

Those diaphrams can be quite expensive, good it solved your problem, you might try adjusting the clutch and see if that helps.

I dont know of a kit to convert the rear to disks that gets more complicated, if you find one post us the link.

That o ring is very bad to get pinched brittle and deteriorate and many forget to to put the new one in, i have worked on many that the oring was just missing.

I have used it all, plugs, slime, and flat fix. Flat fix works for a day, slime will work for about 3 weeks, plugs are good if your puncture is in the right place not to close to the flexing part of the tire, and i always light it on fire, not sure if it does anything, but that what the guys used to do at the service station to fix my motorcycle tires when i was a kid. Tires i try to fix are usually severely dry rotted and just need to air them up enough to move it around until i replace them. If the tires are fairly new with just a puncture i would use a plug.

Great info , i didnt have any specs on this one.

👍 Great!

Did the switch come with the correct plug or are you wiring it in.

Very nice ride! The only 2 factory flaw problems i have heard of are dropped valves, but that would happen at very low hrs, and defective air intake clamp. But here is a list of riders complaints.

I agree! Just to promote participation, which is very important to the site, it helps you to get use to the site and posting interests and ideas.

I like the Rotella also, but i have been sticking with Yamalube only because i thiught it might be more compatable with clutches.

Agreed!

👍

So true! Nothing like easing through the woods on ATV calming relaxing and peaceful.

Great reasearch! Thats good to know that it will work because they looked different and like you said everyone said that the Kodiak and Big Bear were different. I thought it was Odd that the Big Bear 400 was the only model that didnt have an aftermarket CDI available.
