I don't plan on going deep enough to need a snorkle but who knows where you might end up when you ride next to a river. My quad came close to going in without me. I'm safe right now with the lack of rain it's almost dried up.

If you find a nongreedy person I will take 1 too!

Is it over heating? Your fan may not kick on if your moving and have good air flow but as you let it set and run it should come on. If your coil is bad it can cause it to run bad or die. A bad coil will over heat and as you say once it cools it will start. But see what others on here may think to. They could very well know something more. You don't need to just go and buy a coil & find out it's not the problem.

Sounds good just don't want you to get into this thing and have it come back and take a bigger bite out of your wallet & more down time.

I'm jumping back in on this one! No one can tell you how good the bottom end is without tearing it down and checking the tolerances. These motors rev high & are pushed hard. A small engine works a lot harder than lets say a car. You want the crank and rod to be in spec and a new timing chain should be on your list new seals & gaskets you would save in the long run to have it done right the first time. Please don't take this the wrong way but you put (he thinks). I know sometimes it comes down to money also on how much we can spend but if you plan on keeping this quad I would want to know it's good. I worked in a high performance automotive co. I have seen a motor with the rod comming out of the oil pan more than once. If it checks out ok you can reuse it just replace the crank & rod bearings.

Good luck in getting it fixed and running strong again. Take a few pic's along the way.

Being an 89 model suzuki is it a 2 or 4 stroke? If it is a 2 stroke it should have smoke comming out.

Being an 89 suzuki 250. Is this a 2 stroke? If it is it should have smoke comming out.

I agree part it out or give it one more chance at life if you can. If you sell it as a whole unit a buyer is going to use what it needs and how much it's going to cost them to get it cheap. Their plan my be to buy it and part it out their self. You would make more money to part it out. Unless you don't need the money and just want it out of the way take Petes deal.

The bad part is you put money into an atv that's going to need a motor which may cost as much as a good used running quad. Thats a tuff one.

Every quad sold should come with a free backhoe & bobcat. I guess we would need land too!

Never mind about moving I don't do well with traffic. Can you say road rage.

wylde1 it's your fought I went to ride took the camara low battery flash flash shutoff so the video will be very short when I upload it.lol

Go pro Hero

Sorry I got a little carried away.

I would like to have a go pro.

I will remember anytime the quad goes the camara should go. I need a cheaper camara to carry with me.

Heck no! After the fact when I went to post it hit me should have taken a pic. One of those deals can you help me Yep! The cars pretty ugly too!

I used my Prairie for working for the first time today. I pulled my buddies 71 Plymouth Duster that is going to be built for street & strip. It pulled it with no trouble. I'm proud of my quad.

Long hours Main source for comments is the great photos people have posted, Trying to help with info other people are having with their quads when able. I didn't know I was in the running till the other day on comments I was not even checking it till I saw a post. I like the friendships I've made win or lose. I like the QC stickers and this has been a battle too get them.

Which 1 do you ride the most out of your 4? The 2 kawasaki's were Bayou 300's the man had for sell 1 Raptor 660 & a polairis 150cc I think what he said it was.

Yes but paint the rims red.

Luck was not on my side today. Now it ended up being the bumper seller that did not go good. I picked up the money went to get the bumper and now he can't find the lower part of the bumper. I'm not to bright sometimes but I was today I returned the money to the shop owner. aHe said just keep it I said no our deal is for a bumper not money. So I don't 50.00 from him and have to put more with it. He owes me bumper not a payoff.

I know it's late so good afternoon

If she had her on quad she would give the to do list to me and go ride. The last words I would hear if you get done you can ride yours!!lol She been right there with me helping.
