good morning.

i recently purchased a 2012 Brute Force kvf 300 and it had been running great.

this past weekend, i took it for a quick two mile ride. halfway through the ride, i got off for about ten minutes.

when i started it back up, it put it into gear without any issues. when i hit the gas, it felt like the transmission was straining and it would only go about 5mph.

i tried it in every gear with the same results. i ended up pushing the atv halfway back home.

i stopped and tried it again, and it has been running perfectly since then.

any ideas what this issue is?

thanks!
