Will the thumb operated lever not move all the way? I ask because I took the quad out yesterday just for a couple minutes, and it did not have much power with the choke off, but when I put the choke half way, it wheelied like crazy. Maybe I just did not let it warm up enough.

Anyone?

 

I don't understand. Are you saying that the choke lever doesn't have full range of movement? That bike needs a little warm-up(say, 2 min) before it'll run clean with choke off.
How do you like the 489"s? I may try those when I wear out the Sur-Trax/Spiders combo. Had any mud to run 'em in? Are they OK on hardpack?

 

They choke cable does move the full range. I really did not have much chance to ride the quad with these tires. They ride good on hardpack, it has hardly rained here this summer, so I do not know about mud.

The tread pattern seems very similar to the dunlops.

Kawasaki has issued a bulletin to dealers and a new replacement part number for the choke cable, due to a defect that inhibits performance drastically and also makes the machine hard to start keep running ect. The cable operates plungers which are defective. hope this helps.

 

Nephi, does this mean that the choke cable is recalled ie. is Kawasaki footing the bill for the cable and installation or does the customer have to pay?

 

So the choke level can move its full range but still there could be a problem?

 

IN MY CASE THE DEALER IS PAYING. I WILL POST WHEN INFO IS CONFIRMED.
