400 auto low gear
#1
Any problems if I leave my quad in low all day
while trail riding?
The quad is definately more fun in low
(better acceleration,easier to get the back end loose, etc...)
My concern is really winding it out for long periods in low.
Where I ride there are a few stretches of high speed areas
gravel,dirt and even paved roads I don't mind having low top speed
but I don't want to stop and put it in high.
So my quetion is will I over rev or over heat anything ?
Thank you

It never makes an engine last longer by reving the thing at max revs with a light load. I ride trails in low range alot, but if we hit the roads I get into high range so the poor engine isn't screaming for relief.

We very seldom get into low range on ours, but the Nevada desert isn't the same as the woods, and we mark mud with our GPS's, it's so rare. Most of the time, we've used low range at high altitudes (8-9,000 feet) when climbing steep trails and the poor Cat is running out of oooph. Once it levels off, it's pretty much back to normal ('normal' being power starved at high altitudes but still going). Our 'valleys' are at 5,000 feet and the stock jetting seems to be ok. I've no idea what they'd be like at sea level.
Like Bear says, I hate to hear the engine screaming while I'm barely moving.
