If you have the throttle pegged, it could be the rev limiter.

If its a new problem and used to run a lot faster, its possible that there is a problem with either the primary or secondary clutch. You could take off the cover and make sure both clutches open and close properly, and that no foreign object are in there.

It sounds like too many others have been riding and doggin' Oloneeye's quad. If I were him, I would keep Jason off the bike.

I think a joke is the last thing someone wants to hear when they have problem with something.

I was with the guy on one occasion when his bike would not move. Ol'oneeye had been stuck in a deep mudhole and had to be pulled out. Immediately afterwards, the bike wouldn't move. My first thought is a wet belt from a leaking clutch cover. His bike was repaired last year because a bearing on the transmission by the driven clutch was squealing. A $400.00 repair later, he says the noise is coming back. Is his cover leaking water and in turn causing the belt to slip as well as scorch the bearing on the transmission again? Any help is appreciated.
