Thanks in advance..

1. What Honda GN4 oil you guys use? 10W-40??!
2. If available at the shop here, K&N oil filter over stock one?
3. I took my airbox apart for a much needed cleaning... As you can tell with the pics. Replaced my K&N universal with a Uni and also got a new battery.

But I have 3 wires that dont have a home.. I remember they were like then when I took it all apart. They have have some sort of use?

Before....

4. The - Negetive wire had to be absolutley the wrong wire for this bike.. Looked like it belong to a tractor or something... Think I can find one like a lawnmore shop or something?

5. Where do you guys ground the wires when you have an aftermarket box? Where is it grounded when its on a new bike?

6. What thread size fits for the seat latch if you know by chance?

Thanks guys!

i would keep the uni since you have it.......your not going to get much more out of a k&n.

i have both and i like the uni

10w-40 is a good all around weigth

what color are the wires i can look them up

Edit, once i got my quad all together a bit ago, it woudnt start. It wasntmaking spark. The Black/Red wire wasnt plugged in, i couldnt find the other end because it was kinda hiding inside a 4 way plug.

Quad runs great, Changed the oil, Used GN4 10-40, Honda oil filter (THey didnt have K&N instock)

Now i just have to buy some duro tires for it so I can ride it on the streets!

But i did go for alittle ride!

On your diagram where do the Black and Red wires run to? They have got to do something and coming off the alternator I'm kinda thinking that's a fairly important circuit!
