I don't post much about my mojave[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] That's a good thing[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] However, I do watch for topics on the mojave[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Always willing to learn something or help someone out[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Ya it's been trouble since day 1. I'm done with it! I bought an 05, 400ex.

i dont like hondas........but at least your ex has reverse[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

anyways....its nice to see that people with mojaves/lakotas are still here.....now lets start posting some stuff again

Mine is still running.....somehow. It smokes more than a 2 stroke and it's moody to start first thing in the morning, but it's our community beater now. Since I got both of the 400ex's it just isn't much fun to ride anymore. I just leave it sit out at the farm and whoever comes over on our Saturday rides that breaks down or doesn't have a quad there goes and beats on it. lol

i love the mojave i just picked up two of them traded my little recon for them

My lakota snapped a throttle cable so i just gave up on it and decided to start the snowmobiling season. Alot of good that did. My sled ate up a crank, piston, con rod bearing and main bearing. So i have nothing to ride.

that sucks about your snowmobile....thats gonna cost quite a bit to get it fixed up but at least you got a good excuse to do some engine mods while your in there(if you havnt already).....You should have just fixed the lakota....it would have been alot cheaper...lol.....

did you ever give one of those cwr filter kits a shot, i wanna try one out but im not sure how hard it would be to adapt one to fit the lakota

i still have my 87 mojave. it was quite problematic for me...seems ok now though.it seems to knock under heavy load...like it wants more octane. i run sunoco 94 in it though. little top end noise during shut down. it has a cwr cam in it ...valves adjusted correctly.runs quite strong for a little 250,great tight woods bike!! i kinda like it i guess.. for a money pit. tried to sell it ...nobody wants a mojave anymore.guess i gotta keep it !![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

Mine does that same thing it kinda makes a knocking sound under heavy load when its lugged down and then you accellerate but it clears up and then the power hits real nice.

Mine's always done it I never thought much of it...

its probally just a piston knock, ive heard that its pritty common for engines to do it when under a load or in a low gear and its not much of a big deal
