I just purchased the above trailboss. It idles fine it starts fine. The previous owner recently had the belt replaced by a shop. It has good take off but it seems to take a second to engage the drive belt on take off. Is this normal after putting new belts on older quads?

Also Like previously mentioned it seems to have good low end, BUT it seems to have terrible top end the best way i can describe the problem is equate to shifting gears when your going up through the gears the acceleration arc goes up till about 3-4 gear then flattens.

I Drove a 2000 trailblazer who certainly had much better acceleration through all gears and still seemed to have plenty of power after. The trailblazer was a 2 stroke 250 and the trailboss i bought was a 4 stroke 325.

I was gong to take the quad to the shop let them do a once over on the bike i was curious if you guys think i should tell them to take a look at anything in particular about those 2 issues or is this common on the trailbosses in 2000?

 

bump, anyone, any ideas ?

 

Could be the ramp buttons on the secondary clutch. Do you know if it has had any clutch work done to it? I might just be the clutch spring.

The blazer will seem to be a little zippier than the boss. Just a 2 stroke/4 stroke thing.

 

not sure about clutch work previous owner did have belt replaced.

 

i wish i could explain it a bit better. The top end is substantially lower. It is almost like it bogs down at top end and isnt winding up after what i would call 3-4 gear. almost like a governor was in place limiting the fule going to the carb.

 

bump

 

Is it cutting out, or does it just seem like you should be getting more revving out of the engine?

 

its not cutting out. I guess its like the engine wont get more revs to increase speed It kinda acts like it does when you go into reverse without hitting the over ride but it doesnt act like its missing the same.

best way i can describe it hope that helps.

 

Sounds like the belt is a little to long, or maybe its a little to narrow, and not up in the seconday like it should be. One thing you need to understand though, you cannot comare the power of the 250 two stroke to the 325 four stroke, theres no comparison lol. I traded my 250 for the 325, lost power and pretty near 10 miles an hr top speed. You might have to take a peek at your belt to see where its riding in the seconday clutch.

 

ok thank you very much for the advice ill drop the cover and see what i can see.
