Could be a con rod bearing knock. Piston slap or maybe valves White blue smoke is burning oil. Rings or valve seals... Maybe a cracked head. This motor def needs to be taken apart an evaluated

Agreed..... When you checked timing did you verify the cam marks or just the crank? Also a real

biggie is did you adjust your valves. Unadjusted valves make for a hard start.

What are the compression #s... If at a total loss and willing to have it repaired bring it to Diggin Racing in Bohemia. Chris did excellent work to my motor. Highly recommended

I dont like to use it but does it run on starting fluid? If it does then its fuel. If not then its spark or mechanical

Almost!

As for repairing it yes but requires it being done at a machine shop. They would build it up with weld and then machine it to factory spec. Check out the Kawasaki thread on here for your shop manual. That will bring up to speed as to how to time it.

Welcome to QC!! Any questions you have Im sure someone here can answer it

Until you drill out the holes, i would try to find the strongest 8mm bolts possible. Not the ones from Home Depot or Lowes but from a bolt manufacturer. At the very least keep 4 sets of nuts/bolts with you incase it happens again. That way you will only be down for a few minutes instead of loading it on to the trailer. Make sure the chain slack is correct too.

That looks like it belongs on a construction site or working at a safari hauling tourists! Good going Honda dont make any Big Bore 4X4s or high cc sport quads. Just come out with this thing.. Puke

First thing i would do is start from scratch. D/l a shop manual from quadcrazy and make sure everything is at its factory setting. Then check for frame straightness. With the wider a arms you might just magnify the under lying problem. Also ride with BOTH hands if possible.

Actually now that i think of it a steering stabilizer would be your best bet. Get the bike to its factory suspension settings, check frame straightness then order a steering stabilizer.

is it that the rear of the quad wants to kick out or does the whole quad try to spin? If its just the rear your probably just over powering the front. is its the whole quad it might be something out of whack maybe even a bent suspension part or frame. when you ride the sand how are you positioned on the bike?

Thats what I am hoping to get out of this. I felt as I lost control. I do meet ALOT of Alabama workers up here for the Hurricane Sandy clean up. Yeah still going on. I am repairing alot of their trucks as the NYDOT is putting these trucks out of service. These Alabama natives all still keep on trucking and hold their head high. Very pleasant to talk to. Most of em say that a NY worker is highly prized down there. We shall see!

Rip #3

might need sand shark front tires or an equivalent. the front tires might be digging into the sand. Anyway possible you can get a video showing what happens?

Welcome to QC!!

sounds like a rejet is in order. Ive heard nothing but good things about the dial-a-jet. I plan on one cause I went back to an open airbox but still like the option of closing it up when I go through deep water.
