i picked this thing up a few days ago

and am having trouble identifying it





also whats a good psi for the rear coilover?
it seems extremely low right now.

thanks for any imput in advance!

 

Wow that thing looks so familiar, but I can't really pin it down.


Wow I know where I have seen that before...



As for what it is not really sure, but I bet someone here knows. Checking the vin number is always a safe bet.

 

only down part to the deal i got it in is it didnt come with a title

only number ive found on it thus far is 7kndx.250am5 and thats on the engine

idk if that helps .

the guy told me its a chinese brand 250 cc 2008 model and thats all he knew about it

 

Usually engine numbers wont correspond to what the quad is.

It does look like there is a lot of plastic and stuff covering the front area of the frame, I would take a look under all of that. However it is Chinese so they may have forgotten to stamp it.

Found this:

And a quick search got this:
http://www.kandiusa.com/products/110...lers-only.html

Looks like its either a 230 or 197 judging by the PDF. Think they put a 110cc engine in the one you have and put smaller plastic on it lol.

 

so its a motor swap?

after googleing and stuff thats the only one i can find that looks like mine as well

and i know mine will do 45 with ease where that one is governed at 30mph

 

If it is really a 250 then it looks that way. Isn't there a 250 or 249cc somewhere on the jug?

Someone could have taken the governor off before you got it, so it may be the same.

 

whats a jug?

it has to be a motor swap. (or not that one)

mine is liquid cooled

the atv in that link is air cooled

also its a 4spd clutch not automatic as listed on that link...

 

The thing your piston is in.

The one I linked is only a 110, so it makes sense that it is air cooled.

I think I have found it:
Zhejiang Kangdi Vehicles Co., Ltd.

Looks the exact same, is liquid cooled, but is only a 200cc, so maybe the guy who sold it to you was mistaken? Either that or it has a motor swap.

 

definitely looks like her

ill look into whats stamped into the jug tonight if i get a chance to make it by my moms house again (have to keep it in her garage as my apartments said i cant keep it here)

 

Sounds good.

To answer your rear shock question: it really depends on who makes the shock, because they are different. I've heard that 150 PSI is usually a good number, but I haven't ever had any problems with shocks before so I don't know 100%. It may just be a cheap crappy shock since it is a China quad.
