    I've got a survivor 350 2WD from 1987. I bought it 18 months ago from the original owner. All I would need to do to make it look new is refreshing the plastic and repainting the cargo racks. It's good to see these being brought back.

    I had a very simple project with a Moto 4 200. I bought it off a friend for $150. Plastics were faded but not cracked. I took it home and originally was going to part it out for my tri moto 225 because there basically the same thing. But I was able to fire it over and immediately fell in love with it and gave it a little tlc and some plastic restorer on the fenders and now it looks brand new. It looked like a piece of garbage when I got it and he was actually going to scrap it. But I couldn't let that happen. I now take it trail riding and it's not fast but it's geared nice and low to get over rocks and stuff. I love it now 🤘

    Hooking an ATV to a running vehicle is a great way to ruin your regulator rectifier and/or stater it’s way too much amperage

    Very good! Mine constantly backfires and I can't figure out why. About the only thing I haven't checked are the jets in the carburetor.

    Fantastic job. It's great to see the 2 wheel drive versions of the Big Bear running around.

    Those chinese carbs come lean, that may be the cause of your sputter in the high rpms. Be careful you don't destroy your hard work with a bad carb adjustment.

    Hi, my dad has just brought a yamaha model 350, 1980 or 1990 quad bike, hes having problems with it,but mainly the carbaretta, it keeps dying and hes thinking he might have too take the carbi out, we are trying too find a workshop manual for it but we are having a tough time finding one. The quad has square headlights but theyre on the far corners of the front, so spaced right out. Its also chain driven too. We have been too the local yamaha store,bur they arent sure what age it is because it is chain driven. If you have anything that could help,I would really appreciate it,my dad is a very healthy active 85 and the more information i get, the easier it will be too work on. It was sitting in a shed for 3 years,not running, but the people we brought it from had got it towed running before we got there apparently. My dad has been able too get it going but it concks out, he has seen some white residue around the carbi area,so he wants too take the carbi out and clean it all out,but its a big job and without the year and manual,its making it harder. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Good job. Glad you were able to get it running. I'm doing a video series on a complete restoration project on my 1985 Yamaha 200 Moto 4 which I am posting to my channel as I go. I do have a hint for you. My ATV has a special bolt on the left side at the top of the cylinder head that the manual indicates can be loosened to check if the oil flow is getting to the top end of the head properly. If you loosen the bolt, crank the machine, and run it a minute or so, some oil should ooze out the bolt hole.

    Pretty cool build dude. I'm currently working on a 1987 Suzuki LT230. I have Buster just about naked with no engine. Good luck man.

    Cool video. This was my set of wheels as a teenager in Northern Michigan (the part by Lake Superior not the part connected to Detroit). The engine sound brings back memories. What a great reliable sound that was. It always started in below freezing temperatures. If I remember correctly it would go about 55 miles an hour. Just a little bit faster than all the other Honda 250s ! The engine didn't sound too healthy at that speed though. Anyways cool video. I am watching from Thailand . 👍

    I’ve got that same wheeler. It’s still hauling deer and a trailer full of cut wood out. Great video.
