98 recon won’t start
So late last year I finished work on my 98 recon 250. It was running fine and sat all winter and most of summer with a full tank in my buddy’s pole barn. I picked it up to bring it to my new house and now it won’t start. Battery was dead, I charged it. I can’t get it started now. Any ideas were to start? I tried pull start and that didn’t work as well

Frame straightening
Has anyone tried straightening a bent frame without cutting out the bent section and welding in a new one? I understand that the metal at the bend will be weakened and I plan on adding a cross member and some additional support if I can get it close to straight. Just hoping to not have to completely disassemble the quad if I can avoid it…
Replacement 87 TRX 125 Front Brake Second?
I am at wits end to find replacement lower front brake cables. for my 87 trx 125. I’ve looked everywhere. Doe anyone know of another model year that my replace the lower front brake cables. I’ve spent hours trying to free the old ones up. Soaked them in everything. Still no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. All the online sites say product no longer available.
Thanks,

Tuner/ k&n question
I have a 2011 outlander 650 max xt. I just ordered the bom racing tuner / fuel controller ( I think there the same thing) and a k&n air filter. Question is what can I expect from this? I’m leaving the exhaust stock as this quad is also my hunting quad.

2005 400 Outlander XT Wont Run!
Hello All, So i have a 2005 400 outlander XT I have tried almost everything to to get this engine to run. How it all started was driving bike down the road and i lost almost all power bike stalled on shoulder of the road and only had enough power to start and idle very low soon as you gave it gas it would stall out. So I put new piston, rings, gaskets, and timing chain on it and i also did a complete valve job on it as well everything was rebuilt to spec. The carb has been cleaned several times flushed the gas tank and a new battery. Had everything back together and it would do the exact same thing would start and idle but won’t rev up almost like the timing is off, the timing has been checked several times and is bang on according to the shop manual. Soon as you give the bike any gas it would die out. I the proceeded to change spark plugs, CPS, and the CDI box still luck on getting the bike to run. It has Compression, GAS and SPARK, but the Spark is really funny, its not a crisp spark, its jumping all over the place on the plug but it is still a nice blue colour. Any Suggestions would be Appreciated.
