I was riding my lakota today and it just started getting hard to shift(grinding) out of nowhere. And now when its idling in gear, it jerks a little without touching the thorottle. What could the problem be?

 

sounds like the clutch is junk or needs adjustment

 

your idel be to high my auto clutch Eiger does that when people play with the idel

 

Needs to be adjusted i adjusted mine last week and it seems to be better. It slips a little when my quad is cold but once it's warm i can go crazy. But if it is hard to shift than i'd say adjust it before your next ride because that's the problem change the oil. Also was your k&g clutch put in right because that could be the problem to.

 

Mine does the same, how much should I adjust the clutch out?

25083, check in your owner manual, under clutch adjustment, that's what i did. Off head i think you first have to loosen the locknut next, adjust the scew clockwise until it becomes hard, then turn the scew back counter clockwise until it becomes hard to turn then tighten the locknut again not touch your adjustment that you just did.

 

Only had that problem a few times....Testing with the clutch and lubing it up seemed to work it out...I think it was the oil lube that did it though.
