Redcat FX-250
#52
Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knew about othe mods for the FX250. I have seen stuff on line about some Honda parts being interchangeable. Anyone know if you could buy a slip-on aftermarket exhaust for this thing and, if so, what would you order it for? I mean if you were to go to a site like http://www.chaparral-racing.com what would you buy one for. It cetainly won't be listed. I order alot of stuff from them for my other bikes but if I buy an FX250 what could I do. The pipe has to be the same size as something else out there, right?

Please help me og falcon your my only hope. Hi I just bought a kazuma redcat fx250 and am having some issues with it. You sem to know alot about them so I am hoping you can help me. My first problem was I couldnt get the carberator to stay connected so it kept dying. I replaced the clamp and then the intake pipe that connects to the carberator wouldnt stay on so I replaced the clamp on it, but when it came lose I drove for awhile and it looked like coolant was leaking. so when we got it clamped on right it seemed to run fine so I drove it for awhile and all of the sudden my leg got sprayed with hot coolant from the reserve tank. we put the lid back on the reserve tank and added coolant to it. Drove it for awhile and the red light started to come on. The book says to shut if off if this happens. I read your post about the fan and it seems like the fan is working and is blowing in ht eright direction. What I am wanting to know is if it is in fact overheating or the gauge light is messed up. It seems to come on after you ride it for just a few minutes. I am wanting to make sure everything is fine befor I ride it very much. I didnt like getting my leg burnt and am afraid of it happening again.

To solve the overflow tank issue, log onto Jegs or Summit Racing, and purchase one block of fuel cell foam. Just cut a couple pieces off of the block of foam, and stuff them into the overflow tank. This should solve that problem.
As for the red light; yes it is overheating, but is easy to fix. Crank up the FX-250 and let it idle for 10 minutes, then shut it off. Open the radiator and fill it with a 50/50 mix of coolant and water (we used Dexcool in ours, but it's not required). After filling it up, crank up the ATV again, and let it run for another 10 minutes, then shut it off and repeat. You may have to do this a few times, but after the 3rd or 4th time, there should not be any more air in the lines.

Can you tell me what size of filter I need to replace the stock one. If I put an aftermarket one on do I need to adjust anything? I thought I saw that someone said you have to turn a screw or something. I dont know a whole lot about atvs yet. Thanks for the previous info you gave.

. Drain all the water out.
2. Remove the air overflow pipe(see blow picture)
3. Add the water until you see the water come out from the overflow pipe.
4. Plug the pipe back to the carburetor and tighten firmly.
5. Add the water as slowly as possible as you can in order to keep space for
the air to come out,
6. After water is full, start the engine, crank the engine, each time cranking for only 1 second and wait for 5 second, and do the next cranking, you will see the bubble come out of the water, repeat the cranking for 10 times and turn off engine and add more water.
7. Repeat process 6 for more than 6 time, until you see no air bubble come out
from the water.
8. Total must be 0.8 quarts of water must be filled into the radiator
9. Be sure to full up the spare water bottle also.
