i am new to the whole cannondale thing and was wondering the maintenence on them

was also wondering what is the difference between the canniibal and speed is and if they are good for wheelies and such other then motocross as i was looking to get a z400 but would rather wait and get the cannondale
any info would be appriaciated(i know i spelt that wrong)

 

Hi,

I was wondering to, mostly about the cannibal. Are they easy to fix? cheap to fix? dont break down that much( are they relieable?). I heard from people that since the motor is such high performance that every couple of hours you had to mess with the carb and this and that, True?

 

OK the carb has nothing to do with the motor being High performance, well it does but you know what I'm saying.
All quads need to have the Idel air screw 4 stroke idel fule screw adjusted every time the density altitude changes. Ex. temp change, humidity, altitude. This becomes more apperant if you are a racer but it should be done on every quad for optimum performance.

Theres no need for carbs on the dale cause it has fuel injection also u have to change the transmission fluid and the engine oil a little more than your average quad.Also u have to adjust the valves more often then say a raptor or a ds650.

 

Not to start anything, but here we go.

All of the Cannondale quads and Bike share a common motor. These are fuel injected so there is not an idle circuit, jets to change also the timing is controlled with the map installed. You change the oil just as often as you would any other quad, you could go longer because the motor oil is not used for the tranny fluid. you have to change the tranny oil just like you do on any 2 stroke.

For the Speed vs Cannibal I would suggest reading there web site as that may have the most up to date info.

You do not have to be an expert rider to enjoy the Cannondales.

thanks for the help love the fuel injection as its easier to remap then rejet imho
