I believe that the shims are a standard size for most modern four stroke bike and motorcycle motors... the z-400 and rmz450 comes to mind if you need to ask for something specific. Most shops will have a kit and might give you some trade in value you for yours and you might as well unless you plan t...

That flow rate of 2603 looks suspiciously like a flow rate setting that automatically populates the cal file of some maps and is a dangerously lean setting for most any motor... and you took it even leaner all of which describes you symptoms to a tee. I know this because that was the first mistake I...

This looks like the law of unintended consequences where the minor problem being addressed has leads to many more major problems.<br />Rotella synthetic 5w40 at about $5 a quart is the most easily obtainable and hands down the best value for your money when it comes to a very good acceptable oi...

The ability to quickly detune them for novice riders so they are not as likely to get themselves hurt or in trouble.
The price of most wear items are reasonable... what other quad can you get a tough as nails piston, rings, wrist pin and a fresh cylinder for around $150 or less.

Not coming off because it is hitting the cam chain adjuster? Most times that has to come off unless it is the needle bearing type basket and you can work those out first. Or is it catching on the splines of the transmission input shaft? In that case you may need to take a small file to them if you c...

Oops here is the pic.

This is what you are likely to find or possibly a problem with the top of the cylinder o ring. It is not a very bad or expensive fix if you want to patch it but from your described use a full going thru would be more in order. Canniboomer has liners with no dimple at all for a great price.

Also the torque values in the book are a bit too light... I do not have the spec in front of me but I take the large bolts to 25 ft lbs or so.

Pull the flywheel cover and check the flywheel for any signs for hairline cracks where it might have spun just a bit... this throws the ignition timing off. Also try pulling the relay under the air filter and see if it changes any... it should get enough current thru the key switch to run and if it ...

Wow that looks like it was made to go in there... great work! I would suggest using the front plastic supports to strap down the rear fenders other wise your beautifull plastic will eventually break at the lower hole on the side. One side almost bolts right up and the other you can cut and weld ...
