hey, you guys have helped me sooooo much in the past that i thought u might be able to help my cuz. He has a 2003 alpha sports cobra 180. If anyone knows how to make it steer better it would help. It also has no ground clearence in the front because of a bar protecting the cooling system. The bar doesnt do nething, but his dad doesnt want to take it off, is there ne reason to leave it on? Also, are there ne preformance parts that you know of. Thanks sooooo much for you help again!!

 

wow, as you have probably heard we got some snow in norther IL finally. We went ridin in it and my cuz broke the sproket coming off the transmission clean off. B4, his idle was off and he neede to give it a little gas when putting it in drive or it would shut off. I thought it was weird, but he got it fixed and there was no problem. Today, with the air being colder and thiner, he had to do it again. He might have been showing off, but he reved it way to high then poped it into forward. THere was no sound, but he wouldnt go, i figured that his belt slipped off, but no... the 1 inch steel rod that held the sproket broke. Is there any thing he can do cheaply to fix it or no. Maybe next time he'll listen to everyone and buy a quality name brand used quad instead of an off brand new one for more money.

ps the riding was great

 

Glad you had a good time what part of IL you from? I live in northwest Indiana we got 5inches so far and its still coming down hard...

 

bout and hour west of chicago, we got a good 4 inches, and its still commin down, to bad its the last day of break

 

Yeah i know it sucks, I am glad this is my last year of school..[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

MT, the alpha sports cobra 180 is a crappy 180cc 4 stroke quad. Personaly i dont like it, but i dont own it so who cares. I just want my cousin to have fun, and right now he aint. I hope that helped so he can get some help, thanks guys
