That would scare me too, just because of the body part that is closest to the tank. J/K

have you ever had your plug out before. Maybee it wasn't tight or was crossthreaded. If you never had the plug out before I would be calling the dealer. Make sure you check the threads before reinstalling a new plug.
I hand tightened the plug in my lawnmower once and it made a loud pop before shooting the plug about 6 yards.

Sounds to me like it was loose

How bad do you have to abuse a quad to make the plug pop out.

be agressive and fight that. when did you buy the quad and did you ever take the plug out?

i can drop the 450r off a cliff and the plug wont come out (something else might[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] ).

Shove the plug up the dealers *** and be like "THATS DEALER ABUSE" then walk away laughing.

It wont solve your problem, but it will make you feel better.
