4 wheeler repair northshore

(sorry...I used search but no luck)
Preferably Slidell...but will consider any reasonable places between picayune,Miss and possibly as far as Hammond
Having a brake issue on my grizzly (personal bike) I replaced all pads, but think booster may be bad now(spongy brake pull)
also have a 400 foreman (guest bike)that needs brakes, carb, battery and possibly some other things done.
lastly... have a very old (87) 125 fourtrax (Kids/guest bike)that I think the CDI is bad(no spark)replaced with chinese one and still no spark...OEM isn't available anymore(can get used...but don't want same issue) This bike never let me down until after this past season once I got it home.
Got to get all this sorted out before September.
Thanks
Pepp

Jason motorcycle shop in Folsom is where I take my Rhino. That's a bit of a ride from Slidell.

that distance is acceptable...
fair prices?
decent time to get it back to you?
Someone from our club also said there was a private atv shop on 59 heading into abita...any reviews on them?

thats because you dont know how to bleed brakes on an atv/motorcycle
it doesnt work like on your car.
make sure reservoir is full, then pull in brake lever and tie it off that way, then leave it overnight, it takes a good 12+ hours for the tiny air bubbles to float up and escape into reservoir, that can only happen while its pulled in like pressing on the brakes, so thats why it doesnt bleed normally like with cars, by next morning you will see all air has been purged and brakes will work like new again
the way bike master cylinder work doesnt allow you to get all the air out by pumping it and cracking the bleed screw, it just doesnt get all the air out.
do it like i said, then tell us how its now fixed, and then i will send you a bill in the mail for fixing your brakes

Gotta bleed the shite out of them
Posted on 7/9/22 at 2:58 pm to LEASTBAY
note:
I started with keakars method first
then tried traditional below
they were well bled...so much so, that nice clean brake fluid was coming at at all bleeding points and brake lever or foot pedal still wont get firm...just wasting brake fluid at this point
something else is going on
I just don't have the time or will power to chase down everything on all 3 and deal with everyday things at the same time...I'm getting to old for this crap
I'd rather just pay someone else to deal with it

if my method didnt work then its your master cylinder needs new seals inside, when the seals go they wont build pressure.
i been working on bikes for over 40 years and i wouldnt want to try installing a rebuild kit on a master cylinder, they are usually ate up inside with corrosion so i just buy a new one for it or if its really expensive, a working used one from somebody selling used parts
i agree the other bikes need help, what you describe sounds like they need a lot of this that and the other and its time consuming to do all that so if you got the money let the shop do it.
i would still suggest you hold off on the brake issue bike and try replacing the master cylinder first, then bring it to the shop if that doesnt solve the issue

I'm looking at master cylinders now...and will more than likely tackle that myself, since it's right there up top... only other problem the grizzly has is the warn winch doesn't work...even jumping the solenoid(if that even helps)
Edit: quick question...does the lower cylinder ever need replacing?

you mean the rear brake master cylinder? only if it has issues. the front and rear brakes are both completely separate isolated systems
if you mean the calipers, not really, if they have issues its easy because the pistons in them stick when they have issues, so they either dont press (no brakes) with a hard to pull brake lever, or they dont release after braking (locking up the brakes) so you know right away when those have issues.
another common brake issue is the lines get old and swell up closed on the inside so they act as a check valve and can either barely apply brakes or lock them up after braking hard and by opening the bleed screw it frees the caliper to release and let you know its the line thats bad

Check kill switch continuity...
Also if that bike needs to start in neutral to crank that neutral switch in the crank case can go bad.
It has to ground out to work. Find that wiring diagram and jump the wire to ground on the bike (light will come on)
If that allows spark instead of splitting the crank case I've put in several bikes a pushbutton that you can push in and ground the circuit allowing the light to come on and the coil fire to the bike.

Call Brian:
(985) 768-7153
He is off Gause and works on ATVs out of his house. Awesome guy, excellent service. He’s worked on several of mine, and even drove to Madisonville to pick one up a couple of years ago when it would’t crank to load.
If he doesn’t answer, leave a VM and then send a text. He answers/ responds when he is not working on a bike.
