Iv got a 96' Trx400 4x4, i found it in a lake at the local mudhole and i have started a rebuild of it, i got the entier top end redone and all of the broken bearings replaced, the electrical system is fine, even the neutral ect. lights work, but when turning it over i found that the timing was off, i took off the front cranckcase cover and found out that the chain is kinking, so i believe i need a new timing chain and chain tensioner. (I could only get the tensioner to come out about 1/4") Where is the cheapest place to get these items?

 

That's an interesting story. Any idea how it ended up in the lake or how long it was there? Is it finder's keepers?

Being that it's a Honda, I'm surprised you couldn't just drive it out. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Friend thought it wasnt worth fixing so he drove it till a wheel came off n messed a up a hub, then set it on fire n pushed it into the middle of the lake, proll 10' under for a month till i found it, he said he didnt want it and i could take it, i plan on makeing a 2" lift and 25"x12" outlaw msts on it, we had to ride it a mile through the trails while being pulled behind a rhino, but it nver seized up the whole time it was under

 

The funny thing is... if he still holds the title... he can legally take it back from you at any time...

good luck with the rebuild...

 

Hebs is right...you will need to get a bill of sale from your friend to legally claim ownership.

Suggestion....offer your friend $50, and get a bill of sale for it

 

Yes, but before you offer $50 for the quad, charge him $49 for retrieval of his quad......LOL....... Man oh man do you have your work cut out for you. You probably have to totally disassemble it to clean it. Good luck and let us know how it goes. But, do get a bill of sale. BTW, do you have any pics of the quad before you start on it????

 

yeah, i would love to see some pics of this.

 

Agreed, pics would be nice. Get a bill of sale, and good luck with the rebuild.

 

This is the before shots, i gotta get a pic of what it looks like now when its not raining.
