Tgb Blade 425 Sl 4Wd


Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried one of these? Blade 425 SL 4WD

 

We bought this quad new for our shoot 5 months ago but its been nothing but trouble!

 

3 times its died on a feed round, the first was a cable plug an socket coming apart , then a switch broke (mounted underneath for everything to catch) so it wouldn't start, then it emptied its fuel tank, flooding through the carb over flow (and there's no fuel tap to stop it).

Each time the suppliers were called out, twice to the field!

 

The latest is the gear box after complaining that there was a problem selecting high/low/reverse and that it wouldn't move unless you turned the engine off.

Well something in the gearbox has now gone BANG throwing the rider who was standing nearly over the handle bars!

 

It now changes gear on its own!

 

The suppliers (a small local engineering business) have said all the others they've sold have been fine, although I have since heard that quads were a new venture for them and we were the first to buy one!

 

The beaters joke about it saying its a road quad with agricultural tyres, and no one wants to use it.

 

I think it will have to go!

We've been given the all electronic 500cc model demonstrator while it being repaired. Guess what... its stuck in diff lock and the independent suspension on the back means you cant have any weight in the trailer without ploughing up the track with the hitch!

Sorry to here that your quad is full of problems, but they are china made. I have a kazuma 500 and that has been a nightmare with problem after problem.

Gearbox went bang twice, the bolts that hold the final drive plate shook loose and smashed the gears. Carb overflowing constantly, flywheel turned on the woodruff key twice and im sure there are more probs to come. Lucky for me I work as a mechanic, so I can sort it out at my leisure. But if you buy Chinese products they will be inferior to the more quality jap products.

Like it has been mentioned, go to trading standards as it seems unfit for purpose.

Good luck.
