slide is prob not opening on the front cylinder. the compression is in spec.

thanks ill check it out

 

Check the vents on the carbs. Certain insects like to make their home in those vent lines.

 

Mud Wasps. bastards get up here too and they can block that line solid.

The diaphragm on the front carb could have a hole in it or lost it's seal also.

 

I have the same problem with my 08 teryx but i have major blow by, lots of oil in front carb and the slide does not open with the engine running. I am pretty sure that the rings are out. It uses a quart of oil every 3 hours of use. can u give me an update of what u figured out on your teryx. Oh by the way this is the second engine rebuild (by the dealer) on my 08 lemon!

 

that is nothing more than bad ring seal caused by poor air filter setup and incorrect oil setup to the plenum.

I got one in last month that was ridden all the time in Glamis. it had sand in it everywhere. finally blew the crank.

Plenum rings are a must on the 08.

better than stock air filter is a definate plus. also venting it out from under the plastic elbow cover is needed to keep the dust out.

if not, it'll never last

i also ride my teryx in the sand dunes and i have noticed sand in the air box, explains why the rings are out then. i also hear what sounds to be a bearing chatter clutch drive system. Do you think that sand got in there and took out the trans bearings? My dealer (Ride Later, in peoria) does not want to tear it down until it blows up! What is the right thing to do, it is still under factory GTP!!!!!!!!!

 

What you prob. hear is piston slap. Trans gears... not likely, clutch can have some play in the bushings. the clutch is snorkeled and unfiltered. guarantee sand in there

OR

You are on the verge of crank seisure.

You have to have a better air filter that seals stock does not seal at all.

you need plenum rings to keep that plenum bolted on the carbs.

remove the oil line to the plenum when the motor is out and modify the front head for an extra oil line breather.

when you blow it. will the dealer cover it?? or will they blame you??

 

Update just took the 750 to the dealer, will let you all know what they are going to do as soon as they call me back. Should be interesting

 

i also have an 08 cant complain abit about mine. ran like a champ up till 4000 miles then started using oil told the dealer they said it was normal for them to use oil. been riding all my life never heard that before. well rod bearing locked up they told me that it would be a 50 50 chance theyed cover it cause of they breather issue and if not that id be stuck with the labor they already spent. so i did it myself and figured id just put in the fst standard while it was down. well after i got it apart i found that the oil pump had been destroyed by metal chunks that had been left in there by my dealer from a output shaft gear they had replaced couple weeks before. i got stuck with the $2000 repair cause i tore it down myself. they didnt believe me. wish you all the luck

 

update............
The dealer (ride later in phoenix az) steped up to the plate and talked to kawi about my issue and they are fixing my 08 teryx, they told me that they tore down the engine, and the input shaft in the trans was bad (that was the noise i heard) and the bearing was bad, and the case was also bad. They said it had metal shavings threwout the engine and they are replacing the case, rods, piston, rings, bearings,oil pump, trans gears,basically the whole engine but the head and valves. Why didnt they just give the dealer a new engine from the factory? im not complaining but so many people have the same issues they need to recall the 08 teryx (but they will not admit guilt) DO NOT TAKE YOUR TERYX IN THE SAND DUNES IT WILL BLOW UP

 

Buy the way the Teryx has been in the dealership for at least 8-9 weeks and i still dont have it back i wonder if Kawi will do any thing about that? (i cant drive it in the shop but still making the payments)

 

I still do not have my Teryx back, im starting to think that maybe they just want to keep it and let me make the payments on it.:huh:

 

UPDATE ON 08 Teryx
The good........Got it back from the dealer last night $4500.00 in repairs covered by Kawi The bad....... Engine leaks all kinds of oil out of the case covers, bolts loose on all the motor mounts, wires melted and shorted out on the exhaust, cooling fan doesnt seem to work overheats, clips and bolts missing out of the plastics, warning lights came on in the dash after driving for 5 min. and shift linkage not adjusted...... dealer said they test drove it??????? None the less droped it off at the dealer this morning with the keys in it nobody there!!!!! I wonder what they will do now?

 

sounds like dealer work. aren't you glad you got the warranty????

they should have just replaced the motor with a crate motor.

 

That is completely unbelievable!!!!!!!! I would be beyond pissed off. If I was the dealer I would be embarrassed at the quality of work that they turn out.
