Thanks to Keithskfx .

Okay chaps done the "search" Now all I need to do ?? is bolt on the lever to the shaft and away I go, is it that easy ??? and will the bike start in gear, or will it need to put into neutral to start.
And type of lever is the best type to use, I've a kick start lying around some where .

What a great mod.

 

[yogie]

One other question... what size is the shaft?? So I get the right shifter ???


ta chaps.

Thought I would put this here to let people know where I found the least expensive bullet style lug nuts. I am gonna order a full set soon.

For those interested in the bullet lug nuts that have the flat bottom, they are $71.32 for 16, plus $10.49 for shipping. This is the cheapest I found, check out Cyclepages.com,

DESCRIPTION
-----
For the rocker mod, Once you take all of the outer bolts off the cover, you then take the 2 bolts out that are under the inspection / adjustment covers.
You'll want to get a bolt that threads into the end of the shafts ---you'll see them on the spark plug side of the cover.
Once you find a bolt that threads into there, pull the 4 bolts out on the under side of the cover that hold in the shafts - 8mm i believe.
Once they are all out for each shaft, you can pull with the bolt and maybe some kind of puller to get the shafts out, they should come easily, if not get creative.
Now is the difficult part
What you want to do that would be best is use a drill press or in my case, i had a ShopSmith at my disposal and you'll want to get the shaft hole lined up as straight as you can with the drill bit.
Once its straight, drill out the hole----only go just about as deep as the plug threads are which ended up being about 1/2'' or so.
Then you can get the tap and as shown in the pic, thread the hole with the tap.
Move to the next hole and so on.
When you have all that done, wash out in a parts washer to be sure ALL chips are gone or you may incur problems later on.
Once all is clean, take your shafts one by one with some assembly lube and put them in the hole, you'll need to take the funny looking washer that is curved and it will go on the far end of the hole next to the rocker. You'll see this when you disassemble the parts before drilling and all.
Once you have the shafts in with the rockers on and all looks good, get the plugs, put the copper washers on each and some thread locker / sealant or whatever and put them in snug---be careful not to torque real tight so you dont crack the aluminum.
You should be able to see from the disassembly how the reassembly goes. You can discard the old shafts, but you might want to keep the 8 bolts as you may find another use on your quad for them.
Torque specs are in the manual which can be downloaded somewhere online.
Also, with the plugs, you may have to machine the flange part / flat part. Since i work at a machine shop, i went ahead and did that, but i'm not sure if it has to be done.

bolts are the plugs listed in the beginning of his last post there. got the parts from ron ayers .com since my dealer was much more costly

dont forget this one. its the copper one that goes on the plug. the other washer is the wavy one that goes between the rocker and the cover at the end closest to the cam chain

Also, in that last pic of mine with the tap in the hole, it doesnt look straight, but it didnt have pressure on it so the socket/handle and whatnot isnt all perfect, I didnt spend the money on a tap holder since it was like 11 at nig

tap was 14 x 1.50 bolts are the plugs listed in the beginning of his last post there. got the parts from ron ayers .com since my dealer was much more costly

11009-1430 GASKET 14X18X1.5 dont forget this one. its the copper one that goes on the plug. the other washer is the wavy one that goes between the rocker and the cover at the end closest to the cam chain

Shulks....Camo thinks i put this rocker mod tutorial together good enough for the mods page.. :lol: I do think this is a good place for it and it does do a good job of explaining it, it should help a lot of KR members out now and in the future.

 

[primvnut]

why do you need to do this rocker mod what benefit do you gain?

 

[700ccMARSHMELLOW]

2004 V's had bolted in rockers. If it had a lack of oil, the rocker could lock on the shaft and break the bolts off. The heads of the bolts would now fall in the engine. NOT GOOD <_< This mod turns the rockers into a free moving shaft, allowing the shaft to spin in the head, if need be.

 

[primvnut]

Thanks Kenny, I guess I should look into doing this while mines apart.

Hi all,

I am new here but just wanted to share my new mod to my KFX. I actually did this over a year ago but am just getting around to posting now. I made my own digital speedometer, it does the following functions.

1 speed with max speed display
2 water temperature
3 voltage
4 indicates warnings from stock display which was removed

I no longer have the neutral and reverse indicators but everything else functions. I built my own water and transmission speed sensors as well. Hope you like it, I will be giving it a good workout this weekend down in Gilbert WV.

 

[Eforce13]

Thats cool as hell, if it just had a Tach it would be all a person would ever need. Were did you find the gauge or how did you build the display for the sensors.

 

[sunrayV]

OK farmtech, You can't just leave us all hanging on such a cool mod. Tell us ALL the details. Looks very cool.

 

[wilrideanything]

I want one!!

I'll take one.

paypall addy? haha

 

[farmtech]

Hi again,

The display is all custom made by hand. I am an electronics tech / engineer and do this kind of stuff at my job. The temperature sensor was embedded in a 1" PEX T-fitting I got at Lowe's, I just epoxied it in the "t" part of the fitting with JB weld. It would be very similiar to the temp sensors that Trail Tech sells. The transmission speed sensor was also built using the factory plug under the belt housing. It would be much easier to buy the factory sensor for the Prarie than to make another one, I used the factory plug, the barrel from a Sharpie marker and lots of epoxy to make a sensor that reads the output gear behind that plug. I did it this way so there would not have to be a magnet and sensor going out to the wheel because they never last long. The display is using a PIC microcontroller and I wrote all the software myself. I am using the stock reverse override switch as a mode switch for the display. Combinations of pressing and holding allow me to change the display mode options. I do not have a tach readout but that would be cool, I also am not counting miles either. I may decide to make a new version with more functions but the space in that little pod is pretty small. I have the "brain box" remote mounted next to the air box and everything is water tight. This display was very time consuming and I don't think I could make them very affordable for anyone. I am finishing up a 4-channel hand warmer controller for a friend that has a display for water temp, I would like to get into custom controllers / displays for sale but am not sure if I can make them cheap enough.

Here is a mod I did to my 36's to lighten the throttle leaver tension by at least half. I used a .045" cut-off wheel to make a downward slot in this portion of the cable wheel.

In the third pic you can see where the spring was originally hooked to the round stud that protrudes out from the rear of the cable wheel.

The second pic also shows how I did the cable hook-up. I cut a slot in the side of a 1/4" washer and welded it to the bracket.

 

[700ccMARSHMELLOW]

Farmtech, that is bitchin


Ven, that's a cool mod

 

[Camo]

Just a Fundy turbo kit.

To be continued...

 

[cdk091886]

my shorty shifter. won a pro5.0 shifter real cheap on ebay and had the 10 mini pool ball and ended up bolting it to the cable holder thing so i could keep the reverse lockout


also did the dual braided stainless brakelines, some black paint, and orange plastics since they are faster of course


the multipiece rear plastic/no rear plastic mod

and a shot of the last time it ran green
