It's about a 12mm nut on the lower front of the engine. You have to get in front of the quad and look at the engine. There's a slotted screw inside the nut.

Ok, when you say sluggish, what exactly are you feeling? If you leave it in neutral and rev it up & down, does it react quickly? I'm basically trying to determine if you mean it's an engine problem or a transmission problem.

Well, if it was beat, it could very well be the clutch. Wheelies will do that. Is the back of the rear cargo rack all scraped up? That's an indication of wheelies. Anyway, I think you can get a clutch from Rocky Mtn ATV for around $50 and it's not a bad job to do yourself.

Yeah, you'll have to drain the oil. I would HIGHLY recommend you get a service manual before doing it. Either a OEM Honda or a Clymer. OEM is better but a Clymer will work. You should get one anyway because there's lots of good stuff in it.
