ROTF LMAO!
Hey Guys all kidding aside... a bike called by any other name is still a bike!
Put a real good mech on them and any machine will do any trick.
I rode 2 wheels back in the 60's before quads, From hondas, Harleys yamaha, kawasakis and columbia (bicycles).
They all are great machines. Columbia was a little hard riding, no shocks, and the seat sort of put a num on my family jewels. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Do not let someone get your goat!
I want to see the outcome of this troubleshooting on the fire box problem.
This type of commentaries happened before in a different thread and the thread was pulled by the monitor, I think maybe the majority knows of this too.
So let the kid exhaust his wind and go on with the original business at hand. Please!
I really like to see the success story!
++++++++++++++++++
If I may comment on the original thread...
BTW sounds like everyone here, serious on there replies to a solution, has it all together, taking all the ideas made here and putting it in this reply...

Combination of the float sticking, the main jet and modified pipes...

Modified pipes relative to rejetting...Rule of thumb was to check the spark plug for coco brown in color.
When the engine is running running lean, it will run a little warmer than usual and if sometimes with radical thottling it might backfire or pre-ignite before the the intake valve is closed.

Now, combine a sticky float and doing wheelies, the fuel level being high in the bowl, will spill out of the main jet and any air vents to the float bowl, just a little not even a teaspoon full but do a wheely enough of times the number of teaspoon fulls will increase.
Now when the pre ignition occurs just before the intake valve is closed wa-la the fuel that is sitting in the air cleaner box will ignite and what we will have is a wheely-wheeny roast if it is not caught early enough.
--------------------
One other thing about the water in the float bowl..
Place an inline fuel filter mount it sideways extend the fuel line from the tank to the filter so the filter stays sideways and then follow upward to the carb inlet!
Water will stay in the filter and not continue into the bowl.
A semi-clear filter will be ideal, so you can see if there is water in it, since water is heavier it will remain in the filter.

Where the water may come from!
After running the bike for a while the heat from the engine migrates and warms all the component around it.
Now outside there is humidity in the air all the times.
For example, low humidity you will notice that in the house when you walk across a rug to the door you get a shock from the door ****!
Well this hardly will happen when the humidity is normal or high.

Getting back to the machine, now you shut down and everything starts to cool down. Water vapors that we can not see will condense inside the tank and any closed compartment like the fuel bowl of the carb.
Take a dry canning jar seal it and sit it in front of the window in the sun light for a couple of hours.
Then put it in a cool place, you will notice that beads of water forms on the inside of the jar.
Same thing happens with any sealed unit.

---------------------
Spark plug coco brown.
Check the float level with the proper gauge limit.
I think you said you have just cleaned it am I correct?

Good Luck hope to see positive results!

Take it back to the kawasuckass forum, really I couldn't care less.. JR. Your typing/comprehension skillz remind me of someone who is less then half your age, but I suppose that's the "red neck" in you. Your nothing but a fanboy.

 

The reason we talk more about Warriors is because there are a whole lot more of them out there to break down than your KFX700. What do you think, your Kawi is invincible? Let us know when the day comes and you have to work on it. Oh, I doubt your pride would let you do something like that. Just look at how many posts have been about Yamahas, and compare that to Kawasakis. That ought to tell you something right there. Why dont you go back to your planet Kawasaki and dream on about how great they are. And by the way, I wish you had've been there the day we were in the middle of the mountains and the only POS Kawasaki in the group wouldnt run. It was getting cold and dark, we got separated from our group and we didnt know how to get back, and spent an hour trying to get this POS 2005! KFX400 to run because of electrical problems. Well, my trusty 1997! YAMAHA WARRIOR pulled him back with no problems - so dont even go there about how great Kawis are and how bad Warriors are. Thers no need to reply, cause I can go all day like this.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

 

I guess the Kawi forum is so boring that he has to come were the action is. BTW were is the clutch lever on that KFX700.lol

 

screw the clutch where the hell is the shifter?!?!?!

 

Hey Ive had lots of Yamahas and never had one problem with them I now ride a Brute force 750 Its a week old and have had some minor problems with it .. I never had a yamaha break down! Oh and as far as warriors go they have been around since 87 so dont question their worth! I think The the Kfx 400 is just a suzuki with green plastic.

 

like i said you dumb a$$'s spend more time on the computer than you do riding, i dont care what bikes you all have, go out and ride a little, oh sorry i forgot your working on yours, oh and to the guy who was talking about the kfx400 breaking down, no atv company has ever made a bike that wont break down, they have just made them more reliable than yamaha, tell ya the truth i think its funny seeing what u guys send back to me, your like a bunch of little kids wanting to have my toy,

So if you all do get yours running, go out and ride insted of replying back on forums all day, im starting to wonder if you dumb a$$'s even have bikes.


like i said you dumb a$$'s spend more time on the computer than you do riding

please dont send me any more BS, im done with you, i mean this is stupid, if there is any thing i can say to end this stupid battling back and forth let me know, if not please quit sending me trash, .......... if your done im done

 

Well I guess he told us! ohh to be 18 and IGNORANT again!! Oh and your V force 700 isnt old enough for you to think Kaw's are more reliable than Yamahas

 

Tisk Tisk Tisk he is not ignorant, He has managed to bring everyone of you to his level of intelect everytime you respond to him.
Let him bellow his wind and leave him be.
WC Fields had one saying I remember. "go away kid you bother me" but after saying that to the kid, the kid just kept haunting him right into a bottle of booze. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

We cant let you have the last word in our own forums! Youre calling us a bunch of little kids, and youre the one who went crying back to the Kawi forums about we were talking trash. That shows me how much of a wimp you are! Evidently you cant handle your own fights. Im done.
