Over the weekend I changed all the fluids in my quad. The first ride I took after doing this, I could not get over 40mph and about 5200RPM at which point it dies off a bit kinda like hitting the rev limiter. Could I have inadvertantly screwed something up during my fluid change or is this just a coincidence. My fuel gage always shows 3 bars as well indicating I may have an electrical issue of some sort but this existed before bogging condition I described. At any rate does anyone have any ideas as to what I could check in regards to the speed/RPM issue or the fuel gage issue for that matter? Thanks in advance.

 

is the belt slipping?

 

I am not sure. How would I check if it is slipping at that speed? I can see that affecting the speed but would it also limit the RPM's I am seeing?

 

it wouldnt be the belt sliiping at those low rpms. i would doubt t6he fuel gauge has any thing to do w/ it as mine always shows 2 bars down when its full. make sure the filter inst plugged any any thing.did you replace the fuel filter as well?
