Hello and thanks for looking and any imput is greatly appreciated. To start its been a long time since ive owned a quad. I just picked up a basketcase 01400ex, this bike doesnt apear to ever be torn down before. Well, here is the laundry list of what i've found so far, cam chain and tensioner are shot, valves are shot. and the kicker. the conecting rod has tons of play at the wristpin and crank. the jug is off but i havent spit the case to check the crank. ive cleaned up all the parts jug up. I honed the jug. its got wear. my thougts are. should i put in a hot rods crank assy. punch the jug with an 11.1 piston and do my valve work? I want a reliable trail bike to play with. Instead of the whole crank, whats the chances of just getting a conecting rod? Could the crank be ok? Also where would be the best places to get parts. ive seen enough places online and my local dealership. who would you sugest? And am I on the right track to a healthy reliable bike. thanks in advance.
