Yamaha ATV Forum
The Yamaha ATV forum is where you can interact with other Yamaha quadders.
This site is meant to provide a meeting grounds for owners of ATV's to discuss troubleshooting, performance, maintenance, swap parts and ideas, or simply get information from fellow owners.
In a nutshell, it is a learning experience for everyone involved. We launched the youth quad forum a few years ago since there is a lot of frustration over parts and support for many of these import models. Companies fold up on a regular basis and unfortunately they also change names and leave consumers without the ability to get parts.
We've decided to revolve the site around any information I could scrape up and I have added the ATV forum geared toward all of the lesser known ATV brands.
Aside from the Yamaha company, other small scale brand names such as Kasea, Redcat, Eton, and Kazuma ATV's are featured. The forum also provides an ideal format for those looking for parts and information on brands that no longer exist.
These low budget ATV companies, mostly from China and Taiwan, are becoming extinct faster than the 100 plus brands of snowmobiles that emerged in the eary 1970's. You'll have an opportunity to view discussions and post questions here as well.
Universal ATV Parts
Universal parts seem to be the only answer for many of these models. On the bright side, selecting parts by spec, engine size, and measurement is usually enough to get your machine going again.
The biggest shortcoming is in the cosmetics since the universal plastic are never an exact match for OEM Chinese plastics. Anyway, you can try selecting parts based on engine size.
ATV Photos
We're also looking to build up of kid's quad gallery.
Be sure to send in any quad pics of your child's ATV or your child on his or her ATV. Our goal is to document the Chinese ATV. We are requesting pictures of Chinese ATV's to add to the gallery.
These are the problem children of today. the saying goes: "a picture is worth a thousand words", and it is 100% true.
If you are the proud owner of an obsolete ATV, please forward some pictures. Some racing pictures would be great as would some pics out on the trail.
We would really appreciate any photos or rare Chinese ATV's. Many of these cheap kid's ATV's are beginning to enter the realm of extinction. If you've got a picture of a rare Chinese ATV, please upload it to our gallery.
We've got a few pictures to start off in our picture gallery, you'll find photo submission info there.
About Yamaha ATV's
Welcome to kidsquadstop.com, a community-based site with information about Yamaha ATV's specifically sized for youth and beginner riders. KQS features off-brand ATV Info, parts, and a troubleshooting forum.
Smaller capacity ATV's, those sized at 50cc, 90cc, 100cc, 125cc, and 250cc, exploded onto the off-road scene over twenty years ago. Many value brands emerged from China and Taiwan only to disappear a short time later.
Some brands of Chinese ATV's, in particular, have come and gone almost overnight. Use the community resources to troubleshoot and find parts and repair info for the Yamaha ATV and many others. However, Yamaha 4 wheelers are produced in the Japan and sold in the USA as well as other countries.
