Hi, I am new to the forum I bought a 2006 raptor 350 I test drove it. It ran decent but thought it was just due to the cold, after I got at home I rode it around and it would just die out/ lose power upon letting off from heavy acceleration or down shifting, it will just lose power and die out, I took carburetor apart cleaned it pretty well, it ran a little better at first then 1 minute into test ride she died again. Now I’m back to my shop and try to start it again and I’m left with a crazy slapping clicking noise I’ve never heard before. Let me know if you have heard this or know of the answer to my problems thanks ! IMG_7843.MOV

Okay so here's the deal I really need some help I got the quad from my buddy he had the head redone because of smoke it was either two things rings or valves so all that looks good I got the exhaust valve and intake valve to spec with the rocker arms then I had made sure cam was in TDC it lined up in spec then I was trying to start it up for the first day it started but ran like s*** then I had the next day recharge the battery and tried to start it again still run like s*** but I was just curious if it ran so I was thinking it was taking too long to start up so I clean carburetor today and retried to start it up and the only electrical part that was disconnected was the ground to the reverse gear controller so that I could take off the throttle then I pulled the spark plug out to check to see if I had spark the last 2 days I had spark cuz I pulled the spark plug out and seen it but today when I went to clean the carburetor out I accidentally left the battery on on all night and now I have no spark at all I pulled off the spark plug boot the screw thang and put my hand on the spark plug wire as I turned it over with the starter by the way the starter runs great now but zero electricity I'm just wondering how do I test my coil what is the resistance/ohm's it needs to be inspect I can't find it nowhere and how do I eliminate the fact if it's the stator somebody says something about a CDI and I seen a form saying if I unplug the voltage regulator your spark plug might spark again but I clean most of the connections I still have no spark

Hello, I’m new to this site, so any help from anyone would be gladly appreciated, yesterday I was riding my raptor r350 and I saw some water I tried to avoid on the path I was and tried to go around, then I got stuck, so I was trying to switch gears and try to go in reverse to get out, but nothing was working, when I finally got it out with the help of my dad, I noticed it would turn on, but it wouldn’t move, my dad said I probably burned the transmission or something by putting to much stress on the engine when trying to get out. I’m 16, I have little to no knowledge when it comes to fixing quads but I just want to see what really went wrong, it still turns on since I checked it a while ago, just doesn’t move, Stuck in mud***

Hi guys I'm new to the forums and I need some help to make a decision. I recently started riding quads a few months ago and have been riding a Yamaha blaster. I'm now deciding of getting a raptor 350, Honda 400ex, trx450, or yfz 450. At first I looked into the 350 but I wanted more power. Recently I looked into the yfz and read it has a smoother ride and something about adjusting the cylinders? Any information on what I should get, pros? Cons? Would all be extremely helpful.
