Hey guy's. I just returned from an awesome trip to HM trails in Wets Virginia!! Problem is i banged up my ATV in a mudhole. I've been in plentyof mudholes before and this one really wasn't to deep for me to handle. Anyway when i pulled myself out from getting stuck i noticed great loss of power. Engine never cut off in mudhole and never went intro exaust. Now after all that it felt like first and second gears just weren't there. No power at all. Cleaned out my air filter seemed to be no water, checked my belt and was dry. Any other ideas what to check before i hit the shop?? Thanks!!

 

maybe messed up the clutches when tring to get un stuck?? or it hte engine not turning up w/ the r's?

 

1st and 2nd gears....... belt? Is this bike automatic or manual shift. Sounds like belt got wet if it is auto.

 

no, i checked the belt plug and it was dry. I'm guessing it may be the clutch cause air filter wasn't really wet and belt was dry. Thanks for the help!!

 

I may be wrong but with most belt transmissions isnt the belt the clutch?

 

i would take the clutch cover off look for a burnt belt orsomething broken(spring)? just to rule that out.
