Hey everybody!
Im new to the forum. My name is Matt and i live in Cold Lake, Alberta. I recently bought a 2002 400ex off someone i didnt know.(the one in the picture). Im looking for some advice on what maintenance i should do to the quad before i run it into the ground, i suspect the last owner didnt take very good care of the it. I already changed the oil, clean the air filter( it was FILTHY) and i changed out the handle bars cause they were bent... obviously someone roled it. Ive taken it out for a couple of rides and some small things ive noticed were, the throttle sometimes stick halfway and i have to really push it to get it past the sticking, but it does not stick on the way back ( maybe lube the throttle cable?) and also it sputters mostly on acceleration or if i hestitate on the throttle( a friend recomended jetting the carb, cause its and after market carb?.) thats pretty much it that ive been able to notice. Im pretty new to the atv world so i know next to nothing about maintenance...so any links/pics or descriptions would be greatly appreciated...anyways looking foward to some comments. Thanks alot!
