I have a 2003 Predator 500. It runs OK but when I let it idle, it dies. Anyone have any similar experiences?

 

as a matter of fact i just got a 2004 today and it did the same after only one hour of rideing. i am thinking of turning the idle up just a little.

 

That did not help us. By all means, give it a shot.

 

Check your throttle cable slack. Mine was way off from the factory.

 

yup i agree with him... its probably that...

 

Same thing here, when i got my pred it was hard to start and didn't idle checked the throttle cable slack, problem solved...

 

I havent had any problems yet [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] But ill remember that tho.........

 

Thanks everyone. It was the throttle cable.

 

I service about 2 predators every week. From the factory the slack in the throttle cable and sometimes the atc switch box and idle have to be adjusted. Just expect you have to do it. From your dealer it should be right however if your buying predators for that cheap most likely your dealer will give you no service because they are not making any money.

 

How do you adjust teh throttle cable slack?
