Yes, your quad has a problem - the EBC actuator could be squeezing on the drive converter when it is not supposed to. That's why your quad is trying to move when it is supposed to stay still when just idling. This can aslo happen if your idle rpm is too high. So, check/adjust your idle speed before you suspect EBC actuator or other related parts such as Control unit.

where can i find this EBC actuator and i adjusted the the idle and that was fine. but it only drives by itself when the 4x4 light is blinking and then i shut my quad off and roll it until it goes in gear and the belt makes a noise and its fine.

The EBC actuator is located on top of the CVT cover, about the size of a little kid's hand. The EBC actuator may not even be bad after all. It could be the defective control unit that is sending a wrong signal/volatage to the EBC actuator which is just taking an order.

If your quad is still under warranty, you defitnitely should take it to a dealer for repair, especially on electric problems which can reoccur.
