Default trail boss problem!!!

okay i am not very good at diagnosing things with this quad. okay the oil light would come on from time to time but i checked it and it wasnt that low. okay to the problem, my buddy was out riding in the sand dunes behind my house and right after he landed a small 5 foot tall jump the quad bogged down and no only runs at about half throttle. any ideas would be appreciated

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] odd... have you check the airfilter to see if it has been covered with oil... i no some quads can get oil in the airbox... and that would make it bogg out really bad at higher rpm's.
id change the oil in it also.

and just a reminder... if its a polaris... and not a predator... then it wasnt made for jumping. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Also check all the rubber fittings (not finished with first cup of coffe and can't think of the proper name) from the air box to the carb. The jolt may have dislodged or loosened one enough to throw that off a little. You'll be OK jumping with it. Just don't try anything major, and you may want to get a chain tensioner to save another problem later.
