My kvf 650 was backfiring through the exhaust and the carbs . I put rebuild kit in carbs , new plugs and set valve clearance. Inlet on valves had no clearance. So I set at 5 thou . Started it but no different . Reassembled the air box and it is now running great . However I don’t know which part of what I did actually solved the problem . I’ve just read somewhere that the valves on these tighten up rather than go loose and you can then lose compression . Please can you tell me if this is correct and would this have caused my backfiring issue ? Love your vids from North Wales UK .

Awesome, glad I found you by accident. I just bought a BF 2 days ago. The more I get into it, the more I can tell it's been severely abused. It was coughing really bad, no 4x4, now I got a red light blinking. Don't know what that is. I guess the label has worn away that tells what the lights are. Anyway, got my work cut out for me. If you get on it and, as you say, "give it the beans", it will nearly throw you off of it. Gotta love that quote! So, at least there's life in it still. Thanks bro liked, subsribed

So I just got my hands on an '08 Kawasaki teryx..I gave it a new set of plugs, new oil and oil filter along with an air filter. This one is carbed before they came out with the fuel injection. I feed it premium gas and starts takes a bit to warm up, but when it does it idles perfectly. My question is that I'll be going right along, it'll lose power and start to backfire. I shut it off wait a few minutes turn it back on and can go again, what's causing this. Also it seems to get pretty hot, do they run like that, or should I be changing the thermostat?...I've had Honda four-wheelers and worked on my own for years, but this Kawasaki has me stumped..

Hey Brad. Sounds like an ignition problem. Test the coil it may be failing when things heat up. Also just run regular gas, dont need premium.Also make sure the valves are adjusted and the spark plugs are not black (fouled).They should not run hot. Does the fan come on? if not your fan relay,motor or thermo switch is bad. Check the fuse first.

I have the 2007 kvf650 and it's doing that limiter sound... the local mechanic said the carby and motor was fine as it idles and starts ok it just won't full throttle and makes that limiter sound every time I try to full throttle driving? I tried the factory reset and it kind of worked for like half an hour but now it's doing it again...? Local mechanic said to bypass it by rewiring or cutting the wire at the computer or on the wire loom somewhere where ever that needs to be to stop it from limiting?

Yes there is a neutral switch. Its located at the top of the left engine cover near the rear of the cover. Check the wiring. Often the wiring has a short in it. Otherwise just replace it.

Hi, 2008 brute force fuel injected I did the fuel flow test and it gave me 50 ml after 3 prime cycles. I changed the fuel pump filter, it was really dirty, did the fuel flow test again and gave me 150 ml after 3 prime cycles. I’m still getting no start however. Did compression test and checked ignition it was good. Would you have any idea what the problem can be ?

Check the basics. Do you have spark? is fuel getting into the cylinder? air filter plugged? Also check the roll over switch. Unhook the neg terminal of the battery and then re attach it.

Hi Shawn, I got the side panel off to do the fuel flow test. As soon as I took the fuel line off gas was coming out and never stopped coming out. Key isn’t even in the ignition and the gas never stops flowing. When I did the fuel test by turning the key nothing happens. The same small steam of gas keeps pissing out and never stops or increases. Would that be a dead fuel pump do you think? If I trailered it to your shop could I hire you to take a look at it for me? I have a video of what it’s doing as well.

Hey, Originally my 09 brute 750 was losing power for more than 10kms/hr. When I turn it off and turn the key to on position three times it would run fine for 30seconds and then same problem. I thought it was fuel pump so I replace the fuel pump assembly (60$ ebay) and with the new fuel pump FI lights blinks in the key on position. After turning the key to on position quad might start for for few second but I have to hold the throttle at one position if I let go or rev more it would die and not start again until I turn the key 3 times. I have put the original pump back now has same issue. I tried a volume test and it is more than 250ml on three primes. With the original pump quad use to idle fine but now I put the same pump and it doesn't. Only thing different is blinking FI light. Should I try buying another pump? Can you please help me out?
