TA440 Kawasaki for trail riding?

[teddotson]

Recently picked up an 84 Max IV from a member here and it has the 2-stroke 440 in it. We ran it around the house a bit and it performed well. Went on about a 2 hr trail ride today and it started acting up, not wanting to run or rev. Had 40:1 mix in it so should have been well lubed so I am thinking perhaps it was overheating. Some one with experience on these talk me out of putting a Bandolero in it, I know a guy there.

Did you check the plugs to see if they were fouled? If your main use for the Max is trail riding, I'd go for the bandolero.

Save your self a headache Now and Put a 4 Stroke in it ! You wont regret it for sure and it will be a Hole New Trail machine !!
