Atk dirt bike owners manual

Fyi I was a ASE auto mechanic with over 20yrs experience, but not a bike tech, so take the advice or not. I just hate seeing vintage bikes go to the dump cuz the rider can't afford or find parts.

February 3, So have you actually finished that kick repair and does it work? That's the trouble with bikes that kick over hard.

It's hard on all the related components. Yes the repair is complete and extremely strong, and I've kicked it over quite a bit and no issue.

The set screw is tight and I still tightened the knuckle with the factory Bolt. Nice work. That's what's nice about the repair experience you already have even though it wasn't bikes specifically. I always thought bikes were more of a "destructive testing" type of repair vs. That takes me back. Biggest gripe I had with it was the flat slide Mikuni that didnt have a pilot circuit. Dunno if that was the OEM carb or not.

Spent too much time jetting and tuning it. Was just a crappy carb for tight slow speed trails and such. Great response, and no more tendancy to stall. It also had a habit of cracking the pipe, and the inlet tube of the silencer.

Power delivery and character was perfect. Suspension was good for the time period. Brakes were pretty good. Was a TALL bike too. Our scoot was also outfitted with the optional enduro headlight and tail lamp. While the ATK literally reeks of quality custom hardware, it unfortunately has its share of warts too. For the most part, these are features that basically require further "refinement" to improve performance and longevity.

Near the top of that list is the thin gage steel used on the frame for tabs, gussets, etc. This allows many mountings fenders, side covers, etc. Older ATKs used to come with trick-looking utilitarian chromoly swing arms--what happened?

Speaking of vulnerable, the pipe sticks out like a neglected hernia to the front and right side of the motor, begging to be mashed. Similarly, the chain guide is a disaster waiting to happen, constructed from thin gage aluminum that won't stand up to hard pack ruts, let alone rocks. For the most part, everything can be fixed, its just a matter of deciding where to start. Engine As usual, our testing regimen included riding and racing the ATK in a variety of terrain, from the sands and swamps of South Jersey, to the Maryland loam and Appalachian highlands rocks.

We started off by leaving the bike stock and made changes and refinements as circumstances dictated. First impressions almost always start with the motor, the ATK being no exception.

The Rotax powerplant is slightly under square with a Straight from Utah, the motor starts easily in spite of a smallish sized kickstarter and quickly achieves a nice steady idle. The head has an integral thermostat, facilitating motor warm-up. The motor uses a Mikuni TMS 38mm carburetor, which is the pilot-less model that surfaced some years back. Factory jetting uses a main, the double tapered 6DGY needle with the clip in the 2 position, a "G" slide, and the air screw set 1.

In this state of tune the motor ran well, except for a deceptive leanness discovered on the top end. Deceptive because there was no overheating, pinging or rattling. We solved this by bumping the main to a , which now provides good performance throughout the power band.

Sound abatement is handled by a lengthy extruded aluminum silencer without spark arrestor. The exhaust note is acceptable, perhaps a bit noisier than the KTM or Husky , but still less than any closed-course Harley Davidson sportster troubleshooting manual.

Oct 27, Bob - Stop the Presses! Bob, I no longer need a copy. I just found a service manual in the box of stuff I got with the bike see my revised post. Art, I am new to the Husky world, having bought the bike only a few weeks ago, so unfortunately I have no spares yet.

I plan to join the Husky Club to learn more about these bikes. Two sources of parts I'm aware of are Summit Cycles and Letko. The presses hadn't begun yet. I will get you a copy atk. Keep in mind that many years of this should work. I've used side panels off '99 2 strokes, fit perfectly. Keep Hall's Husqvarna in mind for parts. They usually have everything and can ship it to you the next day in most cases.

One thing I found over the past 2 years. The ignition on these bikes has a high failure rate. If you start fouling plugs, weird stalls, hard to start, etc.

That being said, I have a PVL ignition in mine. Not sure where your'e riding but my jetting is near perfect, no spooge, same plug for past several months.
