Try some "MR. Clean" "Magic erasers" they work wonders for removing stains from my white plastics. Even where it is really worked in and scratched where my legs are rubbing on the track. They may dull the spot some but it would at least help it look better for now. You also can then take a pollishing compound and shine up the spot a little. Not much trouble at all.

Do a search on here, there is a service manual posted you can download, thanks to one of the members.

Just picked up an 08 KFX450 and wanted to come on here and say hello.

I was out of the riding business for around 14 yrs. I checked around asking most dealers that sold all makes which quad could i be the most competative on in stock trim. I bought a new left over 08 kfx450 only to pick up a copy of dirt wheels and read just the opposite. Whats the deal should I have got a LTR or YFZ?

Depends what you're planning on doing. W/some low buck upgrades, the KFX can be great. Idk what issue you read, but it's been winning all the 450 shootouts in Dirt Wheels this year.

Sept issue says in the 1st paragraph that things just didnt add up on dirt that it falls well behind the LTR and YFZ all e with aftermarket exhaust that we must go into the engine to make it stack up against the rest. Dont get me wrong I love my bike just was confused dealers telling me 1 thing and reading another. Thanks for your quick reply

I know what you mean. Dealers will say anything to get these quads off the floor. I'll tell you...with the big three (good exhaust, intake, and PCIII or V) and the right gearing, these KFX's will run with any of them. Add some cams in and it's even better, and I can't even wait to see what she'll do after a rebuild and a good port job at the end of the season.

Take your intake system clear off. I would be willing to bet that your problem is that you have a lot of oil in your throttle body that needs cleaned out.

Hi, Thanks for the kind words. I have the above ATV but this post is really for my son who has an old Kawasaki 1989 300 Bayou 4x4, the 300 is giving him trouble in that it cranks and runs for about the same amount of time, estimated to be approx. 30 mins and then it cuts off and won't start back up no matter what you try.

Leave it setting until the next day most likely its going to start and run again about 30 mins and it just die out.

He rebuilt the carb and it runs much better than before but it of course hasn't helped with the cutting of at all.

We have purchased an Ign Coil but as of this time he hasn't gotten it installed.

Any help from anyone with this problem would be greatly appreciated.
