2008 Kawasaki KFX450R Won't Start Ep68

[@jachkbro]

A tip for drilling and tapping drain plugs is tape a air gun to the end of the crank case vent and use a zip tie to have it blow a little bit of air through the case and then when you drill and tap it just use a little grease and it will blow the shaving back out at you and have no chance of going in the case

[@restoroosterohv]

Awesome tip! I will use that from now on. Thank you.

[@alexdamqnova9067]

i feel so good when i see that you upload

[@restoroosterohv]

I appreciate you

[@ToddleyProductions]

Wow. The fuel pump assemblies are near 500$. Tough to keep them running at that price. Looks like a nice machine. Great video!

[@restoroosterohv]

I got this one through Rocky Mountain ATV for around $420. I would have been able to use an aftermarket pump for $50 had the entire assembly been damaged due to old ethanol fuel.

[@ToddleyProductions]

@@restoroosterohv yeah that’s a great site. When I had my Honda 450 I ordered a waterpump thru them and a rear carrier bearing. Good website for sure.

[@Mxmad727]

I’m learning so much from your video’s 👍 awesome work mate looking forward to the next project 👌

[@restoroosterohv]

Thank you for your support and feedback!

[@joelatkinson2080]

Looks like a keeper. Another great video!!!

[@restoroosterohv]

Thank you Joel

[@RobertMX234]

Man , that’s a great quad ❤ awesome good work!

[@restoroosterohv]

Thank you for your support and feedback

[@Dono743670777]

Also, I have revived several pumps and hundreds of carbs and even fuel injectors by simply using a large ultrasonic cleaner. Just something to think about for the future.

[@restoroosterohv]

I have an ultrasonic cleaner but this one was probably beyond repair. I didn’t want to take a chance of another failure on the trails especially if my wife was riding it.

[@justinm6110]

These are great quads, i had a mint low hr 08 but ended up selling it because it was so nice i hardly rode it.

[@restoroosterohv]

Haha, yeah that's no good.

[@hectoraponte8005]

I just got one my self , this are great tips man thank you!!!

[@restoroosterohv]

Thanks for your feedback and support

[@VictorHeredia-c7i]

just came across this video, I have the same EXACT quad. only difference is I have a twin brothers pipe on mine. such a sick quad. I also have a Honda TRX 450. Kick start fell off when I tried to kick start it, been trying to learn how to fix quads to help my dad out. Any clue on how to put it back on?

[@victorheredia5093]

I have the same EXACT quad, only difference is, I have a twin brother pipe on it (and paddle tires). I also have a 2005 Honda TRX, kick start fell off and im not sure how to put it back on. Im trying to learn how to fix these things so my dad doesn't have to. Any ideas on how to put it back together ?

[@motis7793]

Quick question master. Im not getting 12 volts to the pump connector as you showed but when everything is connected pump primes for a second but no start New relay new pump new injector every fuse and ground is all good Should I have 12 volts when the key is on while testing or not

[@restoroosterohv]

If the pump is priming, you do have 12 V. The 12 V will be for one second for prime and will be constant while cranking. How is your spark?

[@motis7793]

@restoroosterohv 12v not constant while cranking. new plug good spark will fire right up if gas is applied in throttle body

[@restoroosterohv]

@motis7793 the ECM is supplying 12 V to the pump if you are hearing it running during the priming stage so you know that the wiring connection is good. Did you do a fuel pressure test?

[@motis7793]

No test yet but pump is new and I tested before in my brute force and it worked

[@restoroosterohv]

@motis7793 I need to find out if the pump and regulator is holding pressure even while power is off to the pump. In the meantime, unplug your fuel pump from the wiring harness and apply to volts directly and see if the bike will start.

[@HaileyArmentrout-l1s]

I have some questions I have a 2009 kfx450r? It cranks like yours but don’t have spark or fuel

[@restoroosterohv]

First thing I would do is check your stator windings.

[@greasemoneymechanics5759]

I’m having problem with my injector pressure only a lil bit of gas come out when priming and fill throttle just replace tps and throttle cable

[@restoroosterohv]

What is your fuel pressure with 12 volts applied to the green (capacitor) connector?

[@mustafanajm965]

Thank u so much i have same issue i did same what u did but im trying order but everything around 450$ did u have any link with good price

[@restoroosterohv]

Unfortunately not…unless you can find someone parting one out, best case is get it new like I had to. I got mine from Rocky Mountain ATV.

[@mustafanajm965]

@@restoroosterohv thank u so much for ur help

[@restoroosterohv]

@mustafanajm965 you’re welcome. Thank you for watching and for your question

[@nash5105]

Hey man I’m having issues with mine!!! I accidentally stalled mine out the other day, I have a brand new battery, solenoid, and starter, I hear the fuel pump prime and the quad gets power. It won’t crank at all when I hit the starter button, could you help point me in the right direction?

[@restoroosterohv]

I apologize, I thought I answered you. Please email me at [e-mail] and I can send you a starter diagram

[@gurnickjosh]

Hey man is there anyway to get in contact with u I have an 08 kfx 450r and I'm having some problems with it please and thank u

[@restoroosterohv]

Yes, my email address is [e-mail]

[@JuliaMclean-l4r]

nice job sick bike

[@restoroosterohv]

Thank you

[@RayFinkle]

You should show the test drives.

[@restoroosterohv]

I wish I could. There is nowhere super close to me to ride so I don’t always have the time before the video is scheduled to come out.

[@rossmulgrew3393]

Brilliant keep it up

[@restoroosterohv]

Thank you

[@benschlack5814]

Nice quad it would be nice to compare it to a LTR450

[@restoroosterohv]

They are all similar but what stands apart with the KFX is that it has reverse

[@benschlack5814]

@@restoroosterohv yup and I think the ltr has better suspension stock

[@johnbrass8910]

Put some VP fuel in it, it will smell great!

[@restoroosterohv]

Too expensive for my blood, haha

[@Dono743670777]

Why didn't spend two minutes with some carb cleaner instead of complaining about the smell?

[@restoroosterohv]

I guess I was trying to convey to the audience how stale the fuel was since they are unable to smell it.
