I read a few hours ago about 2 people who flipped their dales and then realised they saw a puff of blue smoke come out of their pipe. According to them there is some oil in some hoses that are causing this. Lets just say I didn't see the smoke come out of my pipe if I didn't blow out the hoses
whats the worst that could happen? I mean couldn't the oil just work itself out? Could this screw up the quad then cannondale fix it with the warranty or not? Help please soon as possible. I read about this in the post "Smokin".

Icav <------Is REALLY PARANOID!

I rolled mine and the after riding it around it would quit. Burning oil can't be a good thing so maybe a plug problem downstream. Don't know, fixed mine to be on the safe side.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm dealing with the Cannondale brand or not when I read these forums...LOL

It seems that sometimes, every forum member who participates daily on here have had similar problems with the Cannondales, when I usually haven't seen any of these. On mine or sold units from last year and this year!!

But back to the oil hose situation. Smitty's post is dead on. If this happens, just play it safe.

I don't have any first hand experience with this because I have yet to see it happen.......and yes,..I've rolled it at a few times when I first got on that thing for the first week or two. You learn it's limits AND YOURS fast on this quad.
