Take pics of groove and post. In fact, post a video so we can hear the squeal to better diagnose it. If your deflection is good, you might hear some squeal, and that is ok. You should not be hearing it in neutral however.

Maintenance manual.

If deflection is within spec, leave it

Many people with that set up like the EPI almond secondary and maroon primary. The Kawasaki OEM belt is the most durable.

Kawasaki belt number 59011-0019

Check and adjust belt deflection iaw the maintenance manual. May be too much slack.

Dirty or corroded electrical connections or bad Electronic control unit maybe?

Also the diaphragms have a small brass rice jet at the top on the sealing side and the rubber could have a tear that wont allow the slide to open. You can check this by pulling the filter off and making sure they open at the same time.

Pull the main jets and emulsifier tubes and make sure all the little holes are clear and can see light through them. Same thing with the pilot jet. This should clear it up if you have not modded your airbox to allow more air.

Make sure the belt switch is in "on" when you pull the cover off.

Elka never did make a front strut, just springs. You can get EPI springs which are slightly stiffer and get my nitro charging with thicker fluid for very cheap. Also the steering stabilizer is worth its weight in gold, and a very inexpensive mod.

The nich for the Prairie 700 and BF SRA 650 is sport quad fun and handling with a 4x4 utility front end with winch capability. You can turn them on a dime in the mud trails. IRS will try to compress the suspension and lean over, almost tipping the atv. But if using the atv as a jet ski, then IRS gives you the ground clearance.

You should see all what i did with this chassis design, lol

Also change all fluids. You can use rotella 15w-40 in the engine and front diff, and puroilator makes a larger pure one oil filter, same as the 13nissan frontier v6

If you want more power: 12 hole mod the airbox lid, get a muzzy exhaust, dynatek cdi, upp crossovers, and get clutch work from www.vforcejohn.com suspension: everybody makes a rear shock, but elka had the best front spring package, which are now discontinued. Jetting: only use Keihin jets. I designed steering stabilizer clamps sold by atvtrickstuff.com to be used with kfx 450 stick dampeners. Front suspension and steering is the most inhibiting performance factor as it will fatigue the rider long before you run out of atv potential.

I also mod front struts and nitro charge them

I dont know if this forum has one, but most forums have downloadable manuals

I got an ac racing bumper still in the box for $50, and i also mod the front struts see my thread. If you add any weight or if you are around 200+ then may want to look into an epi spring set for the struts to stop brake dive and sagging

Check this out:

I have been working on these and trying to get the word out on the forums.

I am now at the point to be able to start doing struts for others. If you haven't kept up with my progress, I have developed adding external reservoirs. It would be an approximate $(contact me for current pricing as some things have gotten cheaper and some have not) cost for both struts which includes adding bungs and all parts, including a lower magnetic drain plug. It would be a complete assembly ready to install with minor tweaking once on the atv (such as line routing) but nothing significant 

 .

Send me an email if you have particular things you want done or suggestions based on problems you are encountering with the oem set up. I can help you decide which route to go.

Here in the following pic of my manual, is a list of OEM part number struts I have developed this program for. Basically, it will encompass all SRA's with a front strut like the one in the picture, even the ones with a slightly diferrent lower spring perch.


If you are interested in an affordable and better front suspension on your utility SRA, please email me at: [email protected] to ensure I get your correspondence, since my inbox on the forum periodically fills up.
