Cool video. Looks a clean well minded quad. When them plastics are off it would be easy to replace the timing belt and water pump. Im currently doing this job on one of these
Hi have you ever had to test the oil pressure switch? If so, how did you do it? Once mine is hot, when you come to a stop, the screen flashes and the oil pressure light comes on for a moment. And it overheats.
@@CallMeColtLLC No Oil in coolant, or vice versa. I was on a long ride (90 miles or so) back in June. I had pushed the machine pretty hard with a 30 mile road run at nearly full speed (the diesel has never really liked going full out for long stretches). The group I was riding with got into a new trail system, great day, diesel was running fine. Started getting into some deep water and within an hour it started over heating. I got towed home, took the plastics off only to realize a few things. 1 - the overflow tube from the rad to the overflow bottle had blown off. 2 - the cap for the overflow bottle was gone. 3 - the air filters were wet. So, I changed the oil, changed both air filters. fixed the overflow tube and replaced the cap for the overflow bottle. Topped up the coolant and burped the coolant system. Seems to not be overheating...... for a bit. Run it hard for twenty minutes and it runs fine until you come to a stop, rpm's slow to idle and the screen flashes and the oil pressure light flashes once or twice. I assumed that the oil pressure switch/sensor is on the fritze so I have ordered another but haven't received it yet. It is obviously getting oil or it would be seized well before twenty minutes of hard riding. Last time I was on it, I rode for nearly an hour and it blew the cap off the overflow again, I never realised that the overflow had so much pressure as well. I also ordered another thermostat, waiting on that as well. Thoughts?
random question for ya, i have an 07 ac 700 diesel and it just stopped running on me one day. have you had any issues or insight on what could possibly be wrong?. mine has just over 600 miles on it. thanks!
I bought one of these just because it's a diesel and everything I own is a diesel except the motorcycle. Paid way too much but I like it. Did you video installing the EGT thermocouple on the head? Is it just simple drill and tap or did you weld on a bunge?? Are you going to install a turbo at some point?
I did not record a video putting the EGT into the exhaust manifold. It was a simple drill and tap. I put grease on the tap to make sure metal particles did not get into the exhaust. I don't plan to install a turbo because it's a lot of extra work. Would definitely be fun but I'd rather the machine just work. The fuel increase cost nothing except a little bit of work and it should not mess with the reliability at all. I'm the same way, I have virtually nothing that runs on gasoline anymore.

This is a great working quad. It will last forever I bet. It's to bad they are not more common!
Cool reminds me of a 12v Cummins and how you can adjust the fuel screw on the injection pump.

I have not. But that sounds like two issues in one. Oil in the coolant at all? Vise versa?

@@adamellis4301 Fans turning on? If they try to turn on in water, the fuse usually blows. I replaced mine with a self resetting breaker.
@@CallMeColtLLC Fans.... I am only aware of the one on the back of the rad.... Is there another else where?
@@adamellis4301 Yea, that's the one I was talking about. It kicks in at around 210deg. There's also a blower that always runs to cool the CVT belt.

Very hard to say without looking at it or seeing how it stopped.

Mine had a big "tamper-proof" aluminum box riveted on over the screw. Had to be drilled from several sides/angles.
Might have been something extra required in CA for sales?
What tires do you have on that diesel cat?
