Engine was fully rebuilt in January of this year. It overheated (I'm fairly certain) due to a blocked rad one race ago, though thinking about it, running it rich won't help much either? It doesn't tend to foul plugs since it was re-built. Before the re-build it would happen quite alot, t...

Thought I'd better whip out my spark plug, and the reason I use a Denso is perfectly clear, and all this from a plug that was still working!<br /><br /><img src="http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/c67.0.403.403/p403x403/183377_10151093673367979_946713662_n.jpg" border="0" class="l...

I'm now not sure I've solved this. I swapped my quads round in the garage and while moving this the problem was back. Nowhere near as bad but still there. I'm guessing that it being a bit cold would make some difference?

Guess it's time to start looking for other issues?

Real shame if that is the case. It would be nice to be able to have an engine as an alternative to homebrew KTM 640's....

I stand corrected.

Has anyone actually taken delivery of a bike or atv? Or did orders not make it that far?

I don't think they own any of the design. That was sold to Adly or Dinli or some such firm from overseas that make reasonable road quads over here, though nothing that would stand a chance in a race or off road.<br /><br />They do have whatever was left (or at least that's my understanding) ...

I get it even over here 'is that an original engine??!?!?' yep sure is. I was debating changing my bike again a while back. But in five years I've had one DNF. Come pretty close several times to a few more, but always managed to limp home. I think it's down to this place and ...

Fiddled with the flow rate, and got nowhere. Moved the injector offset from 1.2 to 1.0 and the bike was alot happier and smoother through the revs. I'm still going to go through the air filter, throttle, and exhaust, just to be on the safe side. Does seem very odd that it's suddenly gone fro...

Hi, did an enduro last weekend. Managed to get third in my class but spent most of the race nursing a sick quad. At full revs and idle the bike was absolutely bang on the money. At low revs it was misfiring like I've never encountered. An easy enough problem to ride round as you'd just blip ...

Nope. Stuck with the Denso. Seems to have stopped fouling as much as it used to as well.
