I don't think it is your riding either, because if it were, your EX clutch probably would have went out too. Hope you get your Moto!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

whats up people .. im a ds owner but my buddy has had a fx for awail now and hes had nothing but problems .he got it maybe a month an a 1/2 after they cam out . his is #342.first off he went threw a clutch in 2 weeks when he got it .. the from just reg riding .. his stearing arms and ball joints got all f^%$ up .. u could,nt even ride the thing with out being scared the arms where going to fall of .. he also has had a problem blowing fuses ..has any one else had that problem ..ok don,t get me wrong im not bashing the fx ..its a sick bike .. fast too .. but way tomany problems .. my buddy was hopen that they woulds give him a new bike . but i don,t think so ..

well good luck fx riders ..
to the rest of the canindale fam ... have fun because there crazy bikes ..

 

well the fx was the first moel from cannondale so there so much diff for 2002 because they fixed everyhting that was the mater in the 2001 models, thats how all companys are they come out everyone thinks there awesome then all these things are upgraded and eveveryone wants the new ones that wil com out just likemy raptor i sold today, all the things thats going on wit everyone wt the 2001's they suck and now the 2002 has all kinds of upgrades that was bad on the old one so yea

 

Seeing that you have been on four strokes as long as you have special, I also think its not your riding style. I dont know dude, I would try to contact Cannondale if I were you if you havent already and let them know whats going on. I'm sure that they would help you out the best they can. Do you know yet if you are going to let the dealer fix it 1 more time? If it isnt going to cost anything I think I would. But I would still talk to Cannondale first. Well I hope everything works out the way you want it to. I wish I could help more but I'm as confused as you are.

 

From the testimonies that I've heard, Cannondale giving you a new bike wouldn't be completely out of the question. I do think, however, that giving you a Moto would be a slightly different game. I'm not trying to be an @$$ , but this is the only way I can make you visualize my point.

Why would C-Dale give you a $6,000 update to your quad? Basically, all the Moto 440 is is(never have learned how to say that correctly) a race version of the FX. I'm not sure what the FX lists for, but I'm shooting for $7,000, give or take some. The Moto is what? $12,900? That's $100 shy of $6000. They would basically be GIVING you $6,000. To me, that wouldn't be a wise company move. The would however, gain a very very good reputation by doing that. What I'm saying is, I doubt you get a Moto, or Blaze, but a Speed is certainly a possibility.

Good luck with whatever happens, I wish you the best. I'm sure C-Dale will straighten out all your problems. Have faith, they're from AMERICA

 

He plans on offering him his FX and $5000!, not just trading staright across.

 

Oops, sorry, missed that tid-bit of information... I re-read through again, and I didn't catch it. My fault!

 

Well, I guess special should have replyed to that, not me, but I was bored. He said the FX+$5000 for a Moto in a private message to me.

Special, I was just wondering if they changed the clutch plates to the new steel one's or just replaced the aluminum plates.

 

special i have been racing my fx for about eigth months and have not had any problems i also work at a dealership if your dealer is just throwing clutches in it that might be your problem more than likely there is a deeper problem yhan clutches like the push rod clutch accuator more than likely nothing major just being over looked cdaleracer sorry i did not call you monday its been hectit at work i got your motor out and probably going to get it welded tommorrow give me a call at work 1-800-246-8001
