i confirm my decision about buying a cdale every time i ride mine. approx. 15 hours of riding time and no problems. does this mean every cdale is problem free, no, but i would say most cdale owners like thier quads and would reccomend buying one. the economy is struggling now for sure, but it will recover, this year or the next, it's just a matter of time. atv sales have been on a steady rise for years, i will take ten years of good sales to one or two bad years of sales any day. besides, if cdale drops forty pounds off thier moto and adds even more power to the engine, i'll re-morgage the house to get one.

 

I rode my Cannibal today, it started blowing oil out somewhere above the battery. I was too sick to really investigate it. I wish I would have got something else. These things are junk, nothing but problems. Totally not recommended. It breaks every time I ride it.

 

Your oil level is to high, back to the subject..

 

Pumping it out, nearly a steady stream, and nothing on the stick.I HOPED it was overfull, but nothing on the stick. Maybe I should mention it was coming out of a hose next to the fuel pump.

 

That was the Tranny vent. Overfull. Back to the subject. ehehe

 

Off subject:Blackbird take your quad in and dont run it at all.This could be a crankcase stud problem.
On subject:Maybe these financial rumers and facts are distracting the employees at cannondale or they are under alot of pressure.I support them any way I can but lets face it there are quality problems and the thing is when one gets fixed another seems tocome up.The best warranty is one that is never used.

 

Cannondale27- you hit the nail on the head, do it right the first time and no worries
