03 400ex Clutch Stiff
I recently bought an 03 400ex. I got a good deal on it so I figured there would be some work I needed to do as in some of the bushings were worn out and it needed a couple of tires. I noticed that the clutch lever was hard to pull on it and I took it out for a couple hour ride and it wore me out squeezing it. So I did some research and ordered a new clutch cable and an MSR perch for it as these seemed like they could contribute to my problem. They are supposed to come in this week but I was working on it today and I tried moving the clutch lever that is on the clutch cover of the engine (the one that the cable attaches to) and I can barely move it with my hands. My question is should this be that difficult to move by hand, because to me if its that tough to move there even replacing the cable and the perch aren’t going to stop it from being hard to pull? I was just wondering before I put on the new cable and perch which I plan on doing anyway.
The guy I bought it from said that he had it for about 9 years and he never replaced anything with the clutch internally FYI. Any advice is appreciated.
95 Xplorer 400 no spark
So I got this quad used and it ran like a top and always started good and ran excellent. After a day riding with my daughter we took em home and decided to wash our quads. My daughter washed her 95 Xplorer 400 which ran perfect and every since then now it won’t start. Since this happened I have visually inspected the wiring and saw nothing crazy. Replaced the coil with a new OEM one (one bolt holding it to frame)… replaced the stator and pickup coil with one from Ricky… took it to a atv professional mechanic to get stator installed even and afterwards he told me I need to replace the CDI module. Sooo, I bought a CDI module and replaced it and still no start!!!!!! Did some searching on the web and pulled the black wire for kill switch and still no spark, also pulled the black wire from CDI and still no spark. I have replaced the spark plug with a brand new NGK one also… I did notice the cap end on the plug wire is in very rough shape and has been taped up but was like that before and ran.
I am pulling my hair out and have a easy 600 bucks into this quad and it still wont run. PLEASE help me
13 Outlander connector?
It looks like a diag plug but it’d be a really stupid location.
Appreciate it!
