Need some expert advice.

1.
Is it nornal to grind in gear when going.down a grade?

2. The oil in the differential gear box with the two brake pads is white.. looks like water in oil. How bad is this and what do I need to use to flush and add back

3. Where can.I get a carb kit for the Kawasaki

4. What tires shoukd I buy?

[sofob0909]

Here is the vin.
Cb16465
V899-38

Not.sure in gear set


Any info I get from this

Conquests range between 500.00 and the rare 10,000.00 for the right machine that is right with the right buyer.
A good machine with a good trans that only needs a belt would be in the ,000.00 range, black bottoms are later machine and post 99 should have the newer tensioners. How high the number is before the 000.00 is depends on machine, options, owner, buyer.
There are 94's out there cleaner and better taken care of than the 06's, so while there are upgrades which would you consider better?

Condition denotes price.

Thanks argo jim

That first digit is the one I am nost interested in. Being there is a nada value for these and the machine also needs tires ... I would say I have a price I am willing.to pay. We will have to see if I can strike a deal.

Can you comment on the grinding sound when.decending while off throttle? Sounds like the backlash of the gears...

Any concerns?

[ARGOJIM]

Its possible the input shaft or double gear may have wear, but could be as simple as loose front or trans chains.

[sofob0909]

Sounds like something I can check. Input shaft play and chain slack...

Thanks

[sofob0909]

Well I have a nee toy! The right doible chain.was really loose... I got a screamin deal and am siked to this machine in the mud

Photos to come
