Listening back on the video I think the cam chain might still be too loose. Who agrees? Please SUBSCRIBE and LIKE the video if you enjoyed! It really helps me out a lot! New projects on my Instagram: 2_vintage_ Thank you for all the support!

[@dextonmason3447]

i agree

[@connorbeck6191]

I have an 04 ds650 and they are definitely a little annoying to tune they are very picky and not having the air box cover on it can make it run completely different when I put a cover that had holes drilled in it cause the quad has an exhaust and tune it ran terrible but when the normal cover is on it it runs perfect

[@RebelDev86]

I have the same quad I live in Minnesota and if you need anything let me know

[@user-uz5nv4hs8d]

Only one thing in mind you should top of the coolant on the radiator full all the way up on the cap because you risk blowing up the water pump. No hate im just helping and i would love to see the collection you have now. Stay safe love ya!

Bro, I cant wait for you to ride this quad, probably one of the most underappreciated quads on the market for how fast they are!

[@coloradodirtbike5930]

What a perfect Sunday. You need to get or build a leak down tester Joe... It's almost mandatory when working on a new bike, especially a four stroke. The leak down tester will show you if the engine has any leaking seals, cracks, or worn out internals inside of the engine.

[@03vrob28]

Hello Joe, great vids man. Thanks for sharing. I just wanted to say, you should install a dryer vent and exhaust hose through the wall. You can then slip the hose over the exhaust to kick that carbon monoxide outdoors. That’s some dangerous stuff man. I had an Uncle that almost died while sitting in his ‘57 Chevy. He fired it up in the garage during winter time just to help maintain the battery. When he stood up to open the garage door after a few minutes he passed out and split his chin wide open. He was out and the car was still running. Pretty much left for dead until my Cousin went out to check on him and found him. Luckily he survived. Also, them SOS pads will go a long way with just water. They’ve got soap in them for days. The soap in them will also help minimize scratching and it’ll save you WD40. 😁 Thanks again for sharing. Keep up the great vids man. Stay safe!

Great content man. Love watching your videos and learning about working on quads and dirt bikes

[@MadMan_123]

Love my ds 650, parts are getting hard to get but the thing is so damn reliable. Maybe because I got a low hour bike but it's been great, very easy to work on just a couple mods and it's an absolute rocketship. All I did was big gun full exhaust kit, cdi, ported head, mikuni carb, and some metal I take bits including an aluminum intake box (which I don't think made any difference it just looks cool). I got mine for 3200, and a parts bike baja for 500. Really can't beat the bang for your buck on these things. Unfortunately I'm looking into getting a newer raptor 700r because like I said parts are getting hard to get, being a 20yo quad i do have to go through things sometimes and with how long shipping can be or hunting for the parts can be it often sits for months. Think ill get a brand new raptor 700r and keep riding the DS to limit the hours on the new bike and only ride it when something goes wrong with the 650. Like last week when I hit a log, bent a wheel and broke my chain and it was down for the rest of the trip. Need a spare 😂

[@brandonbellacima66]

She’s looking good man can’t wait to see it rip ! I think the cam chain might be a lil loose still as well. I would check the tensioner make sure it’s working properly. But other than your gas issue she’s gonna be a ripper !

[@Furbb34]

Great videos 👍👍. I have a 2000 ds650 in very excellent shape. I put 23 inch tires up front and 22 inch in the back on 10” wheels, gbc xc masters. Makes the quad look even more awesome. I also put a 14 tooth sprocket on the front. At 6’2” and 250lbs this quad fits me well

[@soloskywalker]

So close to the first ride. Nice work, sounds great so far.

[@robertalgieri1968]

Excellent series you’ve outdone yourself. Enjoyed every minute

[@TheHonda300ryder]

Hey 2 vintage, had a thought on why the case was being gouged by the starter gear and also the pickup coil. If the cases require paper gastkets, and someone had installed it with say only a silicone, the cases will be to close together now causing the issues above. I had a Honda crf150f Dirtbike that the starter was not working. The reduction gear was being jammed between the cases due to having no gastket. Replaced the silicone with an oem thickness gastket and good to go! Hope this helps

[@2vintage]

Yes I believe that is what it was! I put the paper gasket back on and it works!

[@TheHonda300ryder]

You're definitely rite when you when you find yourself in that situation you can some times get yourself in to a reverse gear would be really nice.

[@rickjames4630]

Hey bro. There at the end of the video you said their may be some rust between the needle an seat. Then stated you were going to put a filter on the gas line. That's all cool an everything but where exactly would the rust be coming from since you have a plastic tank? I'm assuming your using clean gas as well. Just curious. Thanks!

The guy who walked into to the dealership one day and said I want that bright yellow beast....was destined to not take care of it well.

[@racequad9]

At 35:00 dang these things came with a 16 tooth front sprocket! No wonder they say the first year ds650's had a high top speed but slow acceleration. That's crazy, my old raptor 700 came with a 14t and toped out at 78mph. This thing is probably at 85 mph....maybe more. Be careful and get us a top speed run haha

[@858415]

The KFX 450r is a 85mph quad. It has a 14t front

[@858415]

@@racequad9 Kawasaki KFX 450R In-Depth Guide Seat height is 30.9 inches and top speed is 85 MPH. The KFX 450 introduces a 32-bit digital fuel injection system to help the KFX450R's engine produce more torque in the low and medium rpm ranges.

[@racequad9]

@@858415 Dude, get info from a respected source, not atvstyle lol here what Dirt Wheels said: Dirt Wheels Magazine Kawasaki KFX450R  By Dirt Wheels on October 4, 2010 With all the hoopla and fanfare over the new Yamaha 450X, the Kawasaki KFX450R is a big, green reality check. Yes, a fuel-injected, aluminum-frame, cross-country ATV with a full race identity is a big deal. But Kawasaki did it first. And the KFX still sets the bar pretty high. The Kawasaki is a cross-country machine that has all the technology and performance that you usually find on full-race hardware. Just look at the MX Sports National MX series for proof of its effectiveness. The Monster Energy Kawasaki team won a number of races and had its best season ever.  Kawasaki doesn’t make separate quads for track and trail. The KFX450R is a race machine that has reverse and other amenities that make it one of the most versatile ATVs on the market. WHAT IS IT? So in the real world, is the Kawasaki a motocrosser or a cross-country machine? These days, the difference is a little blurry, coming down to width and little else. But we consider the KFX more of a cross-country machine than any of the other Japanese 450s for one big reason: It has reverse. The Honda TRX450R can’t make that claim, and neither can the new Yamaha X or the admittedly track-oriented Suzuki R450. Plus, the Kawasaki’s width of 46.1 inches clearly puts it into the trail category, as do the tires and the super-quiet exhaust. It’s clear, though, that the KFX was designed with racing in mind. That much is clear from its heritage and accomplishments. The motor is based on the same unit that powers the KX450 motocrosser, which is state-of-the-art in the motorcycle world. It’s a double overhead cam, four-valve, five-speed with fuel injection. Unlike the motorcycle, the KFX has an electric starter and the accompanying battery, which are items that you could remove if you wanted with the purchase of an optional kick-starter kit. Frankly, we think the electric starter is well worth the weight. It should be noted that Kawasaki’s wet weight figure of 395 pounds is wildly optimistic. The real weight is closer to 425, but fussing with such figures is common in the world of ad hype. The machine is still doing well considering the starter, reverse, the electric fan, lights and the enormous steel EPA and CARB-approved muffler. Kawasaki sells one configuration of the machine in all states. There isn’t that much of a difference anymore between California specs and national ones, so it doesn’t make sense to make two versions. That means everyone gets a very clean, quiet machine. In the days of carburetors, that would really kill performance. But fuel-injected motors have a built-in advantage. They can meet the standard without throttle stops and crazy-lean fuel mixtures. The Kawasaki has an open-loop system that adjusts itself for things like air density and temperature. It does not self-adjust for engine alterations of any kind, or even fuel grade. It has no way of knowing what you’ve done to it because there’s no oxygen sensor in the exhaust pipe; that would be what they call a closed-loop system. Still, Kawasaki engineers know that people like to futz with their machines. There’s enough leeway in the stock fuel map to install an aftermarket exhaust without having the mixture get too far off base.  We installed a Motoworks SR4 exhaust system and had great results once we removed the airbox lid. The Kawasaki EFI system required no reprogramming. RACE TEST The KFX has become the general purpose sport ATV in Kawasaki’s line. There are virtually no other sport machines on the corporate showroom, aside from the KFX700 V-twin, which is a massive cruiser. So the KFX has to fill a lot of squares, from trail riding to duning to racing. The guys at Kawasaki were anxious to show us how versatile the machine is, so they invited us to ride a WORCS race with a nearly stock KFX-it had only the addition of DG nerf bars and a dead-man’s switch, as required by regulations. They showed up at Glen Helen with the machine, we showed up with our gear and then rode this years model for the first time when the gate dropped. The learning curve is steep when a race is happening all around you. For the details of the race itself, go to www.dirtwheelsmag.com. But when it was all over, we knew the Kawasaki much better than we would have otherwise. In terms of power, the machine is good but not earth-shattering. With the massive exhaust system, you can’t hear the KFX running when there are quads with full-race exhausts all around you. Yet it didn’t give up much ground all the way to the first turn, arriving near the front. What’s most impressive about the Kawasaki motor is how clean it runs. There is no hiccuping, hesitation or popping. It never stalls or flames out. In terms of sheer power, you can throw a blanket over the Honda, Suzuki, Can-Am, Yamaha and Kawasaki 450s, with the KTM and the Polaris a step higher because of more free-flowing (louder) exhaust systems. First gear on the Kawasaki is good for the track, but a little tall for tight trail riding. After that, all the ratios are close, and on top the machine maxxes out just over 70 mph.

The oil light usually comes on when you turn the key on for any small engine, and the carb can only leak while it's running and shortly after, the fuel system is a vacuum and when it's not running there's pressure to keep it from leaking.

If your use to working on motors for a long time listening to them your learn. You can hear how hard the compression thumps on your chest or ground thats how. Keep working on stuff you will learn. No it not an exact science just a sense you can feel in person through physical sound and vibration how hard it thumps. Just like a expensive woofer with a big amp on a car stereo. You can hear it and feel it. Its real. Ive been working and around hot rods all my life its something you can feel when you listen to them run. No not and exact science. But you can tell from feeling the thump of it. Like when a Harley Davidson passes you when your on the side walk and they are ripping through the gears you can tell that its not a honda mini trail.
