I'm done
#13
The bike runs great, I just can't afford it anymore....It is like a Black hole for money....Maybe I should just park it for awhile and give it a few weeks and then see how I feel....After seeing everyones responce (I am a little supprised too), it kinda made me think twice...Maybe I am jumping the gun here????

Yeah man, I know what you mean and how you feel......although I havent spent near as much as you! I would agree with you to just back away for a couple of weeks and let it be....you will feel a whole lot better....that is what I had to do!

just spent the day driving for three hours to and from to ride after putting on a new ported intake (professional job as apposed to my last intake) and my new hmf. an hour into riding i crashed pretty hard. broken ball joint, bent tie rod, broken fennder stay, ripped the ffront fender off the bracket, bent my aluminum heel guard. the bike was unridable. the front wheel was flopping around. luckily i have a spare set of ball joints but all that other crap has got me fuming. every time i get it going something else goes wrong. i literally have more wrench time into this quad than ride time. i just thank god that i did not get hurt. the bike can be fixxed but a broken neck cant. i feel your pain. money, money, money. take some time and cool off.

I feel your pain as well. Just this afternoon my 800cc big bore Kawasaki Prairie's engine broke big time. Cruising along following my eight year old kid on his quad, and, ... KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK, BANG, BOOM. Now I have a dead front cylinder, with no vacume at the carb, and no compression. It will start, but the racket is so bad that you shut it down a second later. Something tells me I have a problem.
I know just what you mean by the term "money pit".

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Been through this before too.
One thing I did, was to stop trying to make it better and just enjoy what you've already built.
If there's nothing wrong with it right now then it shouldn't cost anymore $ excet for fuel.
Good Luck, Al
