I have a 2000 800 Traxter. Was out riding, the thing died!!........I tired to start it and it just didn't sound right. I took the valve cover off, and tried starting it and the valves aren't moving at all???? what could be the cause of this?

 

Not sure exactly how the 800s are built, but would imagine if the valves are not moving, and the piston is moving a broken camshaft or timing chain would be the first things to check.

 

Does anyone know where I can get a manual for this engine or for the full quad?

 

I didnt know there was such thing as an 800 in the traxter back then.

 

"Who things they are smart."
I don't know if I'm smart or not but I do know they did not make an 800 Traxter; ever.

If you have a 500 Traxter the first thing I would check out is the cam chain. Then the bolts on the cam gear. Then work your way down to the crank until you find something broken.
This is not going to be a cheap fix.

There is manuals on Flebay and at your dealer.

 

Sorry, I was wrong on the year..its a 2002...I have only had it for about a week, and I didn't really ask that many questions about it when I bought it..but the guy tells me it is an 800

 

The guy that told you this is a moron. It's probably a 650 Traxter.

 

I would agree. Its either a 500 or 650. There was no 800 until the outlander came out.

 

well since you sound like you are new with quads are you sure you have everything turned on and is the battery able to even crank the engine over?...if you could give more info that would be greatly appreciated...lmao doctorturbo
