After driving my 07 700 for 10-15 minutes I parked the machine and cleaned the air filter. After I was done I fired up the machine and noticed what seems like excessive pressure in the motor as it turned over a bit but suddenly stopped before firing, similar to a weak battery. I released the starter button and tried again and this time it turned over, but now the motor has a very noticeable knocking/metal on metal noise and is just running poorly. Bad enough I wouldn’t consider driving it.
Seeing as it was running 100% normal before parking it for the air filter cleaning, could there be a wire or connection that came loose or broke during the air filter servicing? I do need to wiggle the airbox a bit to get the lid on and get the clip on the shifter side up over the lid to latch.
Oil is good, filter is clean and I cannot see anything. Just seems odd that it was totally fine before I parked it and now it’ll barely turn over/run.
Picked up a ’95 Xplorer 400 for $40 the other day and yesterday I got it running and the shifter fixed. I replaced the battery and spark plug and put in fresh gas, filled the 2 stroke oil tank and fired it up. It starts and runs good, but idles like crap and just spits and sputters under wide open throttle but under part throttle and under load it runs great with good power. It also leaves a trail of thick blue smoke.
Been working on gas and diesel 4 strokes for many years, but have a limited knowledge of small two strokes, so I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction of adjusting the carb (going to order a carb kit tomorrow) and the oil injector. It ran last year but this is the first it has ran since and it’s pretty rough (but hey, price was right) so I’m not taking it for granted the carb is adjusted right. Just haven’t managed to track down a manual here in Canada yet.
Alright, so went to take the old girl out for some work around the yard and after about 30 ft noticed that there was something wrong. So after inspection i found that the bolt on the CVT side of the swing arm had almost fallen out.
I pulled and pushed the quad back into the garage and after looking in the manual i took the shock off then the other side of the swing arm bolt.
I cleaned everything up and replaced one of the oil seals and regreased the bearings and attempted to put it back together and that’s where the problem is…..when i try to get the holes on the swing arm to line up with the frame they are out of an inch and i can’t seem to push the swing arm any closer then what it is.
How do i get it back in place? i don’t want to hammer it in!!!
Not sure I spelled the name correct but had several questions that some of you actual users can help us with. One of my riding partners has an XP 850 and he doesn’t have the range the rest of us do. It seems that most riders are mounting these on the front. Is this better than the back rack and if so why? I don’t believe he would want over two gallons. Also do they make any type of "Lock and ride attachments" for these? Thanks in advance
Hi folks. I decided to buy an action cam but couldn’t justify $400+. After doing my research I bought an SJ4000 Wifi made by SJCAM. There are tons of reviews on YouTube and other forums which is what I based my decision on.
I bought mine from AliExpress. It came with lots of decent goodies, and are all compatible with GoPro stuff.
It’s not jaw dropping video, but for the price it can’t be beat in my mind. One thing that I did notice is that the video quality got worse once I did my editing. Weird.
I know I’m a newby on this forum,but just want to give a suggestion about posting pictures. On one of my other hobby forums they have it to where you click on the same icon that is on this forum,when you click it it goes right to your pictures that are on your devise,all you do is pick the picture/pictures you want to show and hit use,none of this url copy/paste thing that you do on here. Makes it really easy if your using a iPad/iPhone. I guess I should ask,is there a different way to post pictures on here with a iPad?
Have to ask because I don’t know. Will 27x9x12 and 27x11x12 Kenda Bearclaws fit my stock rims. The bike came with 26x8x12 and 26x10x12 Carlyles. I am going to need new tires soon. I ride trails with little mud and this seems like a good tire for me.
