K5 motor in an ATV chassis
dirk_411:
Someday id like to put a K5 motor in a tecate 4 frame. I wanted to pic your brain and see if anyone has any knowledge or experience putting a NON counter balanced engine in a quad frame? I have seen multiple attempts over the years and very few have longevity on their side. I have zero faith that any sort of "rubber" mount concept works. Beyond that I am not sure why the majority of tecate 4/K5 conversions fail, it's always vibration issue's which lead to cracked frames.
I have seen a couple conversions work.
Not something I will be doing soon. But, im going to start the research. I have the rolling tecate 4 chassis to do it and would prefer to use an 04 K5 motor.
Chime in and tell me what you know

I love mine!! Its been together for around 6 years and had only a couple minor issues.

Any suggestions or tips on how you mounted yours?
Yours was actually one of the ones I know of that works.
Does someone in your clan still have the white and pink tecate 4?

You might want to investigate crank balance factors..

A little of topic and also nothing I'm doing in the near future but I'm wanting a long travel front end. Look around every now and then but can't come up with much.
