Ok, so this past weekend I went to the dunes in Silverlake, Mi and when I was going up a hill or drag racing once in a while it would act like it was running outta gas, but I had a full tank...does anyone know what this could be or has anyone had it happen to them?
People have told me to try different exhaust, jetting, filters, clean/adjust carb, etc.
Anyone else have any recommendations?
Let me know,
Thanks
Dan

 

Needs a valve adjustment.

 

It that hard to do? I've read a little about it and I have a service manual but Ive never done valves on a 4 stroke...

 

would a valve adj be a do it ur self job??

 

If you have the manual it shouldn't be to hard after the first couple times you adjust them.

 

o ok.. i got a manual but i dont think mine needs it..

 

u can usually tell if it needs it if it is ticking right????

 

Not always, it's a a regular maintenance issue, if you have never done it before it would be good to go in there now and check them out. Easy job, maybe 20 - 30 minutes, depends on how fast you are at getting the tank moved out of the way. Theres a good article with pictures on exriders. You just need a set of feeler gauges. Got mine for like 5 bucks at auto parts store.

 

o lol..
