No! Definitely not!

That's why I had a section of Ford 9-inch axle shaft machined down for a swinger tube. The machinist said it was throwing sparks as he was turning it!

 

A buddy did buy a couple jet skis. I told him at least he'll have something to sell next time he's broke

 

I like the gears of the suzuki, mainly the low ones. It seems like the big bore cvt quads strain to cross a big rock or log and then suddenly flings itself over as the rpms build. Lower gears would just putt right over smoothly. Then again, I like being able to throw my legs up on the front racks and not worry about shifting too. Plus, it would be nice to have something cvt for guests... who can never seem to understand the concept of shifting gears. I've had my 280lb cousin trying to start up the side of a moutain in 5th gear and wondering why it wont move lol

 

I've always wanted one of the old Yamaha Waveblasters. I hate the big monsters they make today. If I ever got a jet ski, it would be a little one man job like the Wave Blaster.

 

lol, yeah, I hear that. I don't let anyone on the DVX. Unless I'm right there watching, but even then...

4x4 with any type of tranny would be fine with me right now. We have this great park up north called the Iron Range OHV area, and lets just say my DVX will NEVER go there. We went up a few years ago and it was a blast. Just beat the **** out of the wheelers though.

I'm sure I've shown these pics before, but here they are again:

 

Here's the other side of the Outty in that pic: Which by the way, we still have the Outlander, but its my old man's ride so I can't do any fun mods or anything to it.

 

I don't know what he has, but he said they only made them a couple yrs whatever it was. 700cc 2-stroke rotary engine??? He came over n started asking me to learn how to fix them.... I asked if they're broke. He said no, but they will be soon, lol. I figure HE will be broke before they will :P

Driveway decorations really. He might ride them once.

 

Yeah, I remember those... and I remember saying I'd blast right by you on my quadsport too I'd have no trouble with those rocks... looks like the ones around here in the mountains.

 

Hey guys I just bought an 85-88 quadsport 230, kickstart, manual clutch, five speed. I only paid 300 for it and it runs and the plastic is in remarkably good condition. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS I CANNOT GET IT TO KICKSTART WHEN ITS COLD! I HAVE TO PULL START IT. AFTER ITS WARM, IT WILL KICKSTART WITHIN 1 OR 2 KICKS. WHATS GOING ON???? CAN ANYONE HELP???

ALSO, SHOULD THERE BE A LID ON THE TOP OF THE STOCK AIR BOX, BECAUSE MINE DIDNT COME WITH ONE???
I will try to post pics soon, you guys have a lot of info and knowledge of these machines, so if you could help me it would be great.
IM WONDERING IF MY VALVES NEED ADJUSTED??? I READ THATS ONE THING THAT CAN KEEP EM FROM KICKSTARTING??

DOES ANYONE KNOW THE SPEC FOR THE VALVES??

sorry for all the questions guys, but i could use the help, i have already milled over almost every suzuki thread looking for info on all my questions. I also have a 2007 z400 black limited edition, but like its older brother, it likes to throw chains and ended up throwing a brand new o-ring and binding up in the casesaver and front sprocket tearing 3rd gear out and now it shift horribly. I think im just going to buy a used motor and replace it rather than pay some one to rebuild the tranny. Ive seen motors for around $500 on ebay, what do you guys think?? thanks

 

It almost certainly needs the valves adjusted. Not starting when cold is is a symptom of that.... especially the intake valve. Your intake valve is probably worn out due to sucking in dirty air. You will need to adjust it over n over every so often until you eventually need to replace it. .001"-.003" on the intake and I think the exhaust is .003-.005, but its most likely ok.

I'm not sure what to say about the 400.
