well to start off with i finally get my kfx back from 4 months of sittin in my garage and a month sittin in the shop (a guy that lives less then a mile away from my house). had to get a new timin chain in it. i got it back this past saturday mornin and as soon as me and my cousin get into the trails.....what do u kno my chain pops off. he had told me i needed a new chain but it would last for saturday. well my cousin towed me back home and we fixed it and i ordered a new chain. well this mornin i changed my oil and went off to go ridin. i had'nt even got out of 2nd gear yet and im goin down the road doin about 10 mph and it cuts off. i try to start it and it wont start. i look down and my radior is busted and leakin water. so i brought it back to the guys house for him to get everything fixed on it. :mad: won't be ridin it for atleast another week or two. :cuss: :cuss:

call me retarded but.........it got tangled up on the front sprocket. i didnt no it had popped off and i kept tryin to go i thought i was jus stuck in a whole or summin. when i kept pressin the gas it made it tangled up in the front. u can call me retarded for this but it sat at my cousins house for a couple hours and then he comes out there and goes why don't we put it in reverse and make it come untangled.....and yeah it worked.......yeah were dumbasses lol

dont know why you are leaking coolant, but chains and things like that are what we call "preventable" hazards, you can prevent them, and its usually a betters day riding when you dont have to work on your quad mid ride

no i meant i saw a liquid that it LOOKED like it was comin from the radiator and they had coolant drippin on the tube. that was the first thing i saw and i thought that was it. and derekhonda i really could give two ****s less what you say. arguing over the internet is jus like winning the special olympics, no matter if u win or not ur still retarded. and im sure you'll find something wrong with my grammar and try to call me retarded or something but o well

I really didnt have a problem with you until you decided to be a little ****. I was trying to offer you some help, ever heard the quote "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure?" If you would have just bit the bullet and bought your chain ahead of time (since you knew you needed one) you would have had a fun day of riding instead of a ****ty day cause your chain broke. I know you being 15 makes you thin you know everything, and im not much older than you but i once felt that way, maybe if you just open up your ears a little and take in what people have to say and not open your mouth so much you will learn a lot more....

lol some people. by the way i did not know ahead of time. it had not been ridden in 4 months. the guy told me it would last for a days ride. therefore i did not know ahead of time.
