If you work on a 454, 400, or 500 and it needs shocks, the front Fox shocks and springs off a 1998 ZR snowmobile will bolt right up. It is amazing how much it improves the handling.

@@kountryquads9475 I was a test rider at Cat when these were made. As soon as I found out they fit I put them on 2 of my 500 4x4's. You could slide them into a corner and they had very little body roll and were even fun to get air with. As soon as I can find another one this will be the first thing I do to it.

Thank you for continuing to provide such great content. I have brought back to life a side-by-side and a quad for one of our hunting properties for my two teenage daughters.

Hey Joe cool video,,,,keep them coming and by the way I just to say thank you for your hard work and to share your passion,,,,thanks again 👍

Positive should always be hooked up first and removed first to keep the positive from sparking. Ground is ok to support a surge but positive is not. Awesome vid my friend, be safe :)

Very cool Joe. Beautiful country there. Sounds like the Oshkosh Airventure Arrivals were really busy!🛩🛫🛬

Great job figuring out the electricals ! That thing would be beautiful for ice fishing out on the frozen lakes, the racks on the front & back would be great for bringing gear out to the fishing spot you like, no matter how far out on the lake it is. My brother & I need to invest in one of those things.

Cool video. I have a '98 400 2x4. Looks just like yours. I bought it new. Had to put a new carb. on it a couple yrs. ago. Just changed the oil and am putting a new petcock and fuel lines + time for a new battery. It's been a great machine. Got new tires on it and a while back I replaced all the rubber bushings in the shocks. What a diff. that made too.

Always good to watch old vids! Ur a hard worker bro

Dude stick a magnet on the back of your compression tester so u can just stick that bad boy where ever u want. U use it so much, it would make it way easier to position it for the camera. Also your a beast. Love the videos man. Cheers dude.

@@connerb1954 I just bought an used cfmoto and then researched all of the different atv-s for a whole year. My choices would've been: 1. Honda (not so powerful but extremely reliable) 2. Can-am (most powerful, reliable but costs the most to repair and maintain) 3-4: Yamaha or Kawasaki. (also powerful and they seem to be reliable, didn't research much further because they are not really widely sold here) 5. Cfmoto, the one i got. (Reliable, cheap to buy and maintain, winches and everything included in the price. Power is less than equivelant yamaha, kawasaki, can-am. More powerful than Hondas though) This time the 2022 model. I have seen every cfmoto video out there and literally almost everyone in our country rides them. Some torture them like crazy and they don't really break. Except for the differentials or axels WHEN you use diff-lock and smash your wheels to the ground at high speed, which breaks every atv-s diffs or axels anyways.

Excellent work man

Luv the vlog Joe,look forward to cing how u gonna tackle it,gl!🤔👁👀👁👍👍👍

What I do go to the fabric store and buy vinyl and recover seats with it and you can get different colors and patterns been doing it on atvs and dirt bikes for over 20 years now

I am a big believer in Marvel Mystery Oil. I use this in my gas so the more I ride the better it runs because the oil really cleans the internal workings of the carb which in some cases won’t have to pull the carb.

Ya, that 5 gallon amazon special gas can sux lol, i got one too and the dang button is worthless lol

So funny, man like I always comment, working on the same machines all the time bud, this video is my bread and butter tho, just love these Suzuki LT250F (w= 4×4) my factorie 4x4 quads with the three ranges and lockup, never had the arctic cat version, I see a few differences but lot more similarly, was wondering why I never seen one on your Channel cuz they are cheap and plentiful here in norcal

Reviving the dead and forgotten is honorable this one turned out better then I thought like usual

I have a little 250 2003 arctic cat, watching your videos made me want to fix it up and running right, and it took me about 4 hours of labor including fixing a crack in the bottom of the case right under the axles, and for that I thank you, now I have a hobby I love. Could even turn into a job. KEEP UP THE AWESOME VIDS!!!!

These people that ya'll buy from are their own worst enemy. Screwing up the wiring this bad takes a knack. Thank God there is someone like you to straighten it back out. When ya'll get a new one you never know what you've got till it produces symptoms and on this one it had nuts in the exhaust till they finally blew out releasing the engine to finally run right. Ya'll thought the brakes were on for a while it was dragging so bad. That rear brake may still be dragging but ol Joe will get it sussed out.

Since you ride through the woods and fields of tall grass and other growth, you might find releasing nematodes (to kill ticks and other pests) very helpful. When I moved into my current house, I had to spray, our yard and the woods behind us, poison to kill 'em off. That was a lot of work. My son found nematodes online and released them twice, at different times during the same year and we haven't seen a single tick since and that was 4 years ago. There are different types of nematodes, so you'll have to choose the correct ones. I have the link to the site that my son purchased them, but I can't post it here. Easy enough to find with a quick Google search though.

If you can find one, a king quad 300 would be an awesome machine. Sorta similar to the Arctic cats

Job very well done, Sir.....

What ever was in the air box looks like I lived the winter out good lol

You could always order one of them aftermarket seat cover like you did before, just order it in extra large this time lol.

U should put a magnet on ur compression tester👍

I have the same one but 4x4 version , can’t get used to the heal toe shifter. Any suggestions for oil leaking out the sight glass ? Besides replacing glass ? I put some sealer on but probably will be leaking one day . Did you try the diff lock mod on your 4x4 version ? I did it has diff lock hidden gear just like the king quad

Good job bring her back! Just need to adjust those valves and check exhaust.

Check the intake manifold boot . I had a 4 cylinder bike with that issue , They usually crack at the bottom so it is easily missed. .

When I see this video or some other videos I was like where is the motor 😂

Funny you post about this bike, 2 just popped up on my marketplace for 400 for the pair

good work but it's idling a bit high it jumped pretty hard when u put it in gear love Ur videos....

You bring em back to life don't ya!!!

What did you use to clean up the plastic? It looks nice.

I think it’s crazy how exactly the same the king quad 300 is to these, just different visual looks

Good video

Mine backfired and sounded crappy like that until I adjusted the valves. This is one of the easier models to check valves on.

Hi do you know where I can buy the body plastics?

Quick question I've noticed you pre lube some of the cylinders on your projects up with a lil bottle with extended nozzle of 2 stroke oil so it's safe to use this on the 4 stroke engines from what I'm watching on your channel. Just wanted to verify not to pour in as the oil supply but to lube a lil through the spark plug hole?

@owensbama1923

@garymallard4699

you can use any lube or oil like that..it is just a small amount to oil the rings cylinder walls as those are dry from sitting... you don't fill it up ...then when it starts up it burns off ( so smokes abit )... best to spin the piston a few times before spark plug goes back in...and then you can fire it up... 2 stroke oil is ok in a 4 stroke in this manner...use proper oil in the engine oil gearbox

Do you still use the ultrasonic cleaner?

The condenser will hold a charge for the points to discharge .

Do you use rec fuel?

Joe, how do you like your wires, fried or scrambled? : )

Those bikes have a low med and high shift. I believe under center of seat on right side.

why didnt they want to touch it? Did it have cooties? it must have a capacitor storing energy somewhere so when you touched that wire it discharged.. its always a treat seeing wild life on a nice ride.

Since its run, I'd check starter again, as it may have been hung up

A guy brought one in last year like that he had a damn Predator engine in it. He built it but fried the little 212 motor. Good ol harbor freight.
