Welcome to BHQ, nice find on that bike and good luck. My advice to you would do a plug chop and check your jets first thing to make sure the previous owner wasnt running it to lean. All you need it have a nice new bike with a blown motor in your garage .

whats a plug chop?

[Jereme6655]

well.....that's rebuild levels.......anything under 100 is considered to be low to where you need to rebuild. Should be up in the area of 125 each side. Also a plug chop is to check to see whether your jetted correctly.....warm up bike...shut bike off and put in BRAND NEW spark plugs.....start quad and instantly go 1-5gear holidng the throttle wide open the entire time. When you hit the top of 5th gear.....pull in clutch and shut motor off and coast to a stop. Then install old plugs and take new plugs home with you.....cut off the threads and look to see color of burn ring.....should be like a milk choclate - tan color if jetted correct. darker = richer lighter = leaner.

Have to take into consideration he is at 4200 ft. If his neighbor is at 100, he might be ok, maybe little low. One of the site sponsers had a chart showing drop with rise in elevation. If someone doesn't chime in, maybe call one of the site sponsers, tell them your elevation, they'll let you know where you're at.

Ditch the boost bottle, either get factory tube or just plug them up. It will run fine without a crossover. Be very careful about ANY air leaks.

ya learned alot so faron here its cool cuz usually when you search forrums fro stuff the threads are like ten years old here ya get good help quick. thanks for you rguys info. taking out for its first run on the dirt/snow/mud today should be fun 27 degrees for the high. does the boost bottle mess with compression at all plan on getting stock one when i can

[Finch]

well just took it out for first time what a blast deffently best thing ive ever rode. but did a drag with my neighbor and stayed side by side with him and thats with me being a noob not knowing where my best shift point are and all that but wanna start doing more to it wheres the best way to start!

[Finch]

also curious didnt know they came with park brake mine does not have one is there a reason someone would take that off?

[Man-O-Steele]

if it runs good now i would just check the plugs if everything checks out just ride it
