I have a tie rod that is bent. Will it hurt my Z if I ride it around for a day with it bent before I take it into the shop?

 

It wont hurt the quad directly, but you will have a serious problem with steering and will probably end up in a tree. Put the tie rod in a vice and straighten it out if you absolutely have to ride it. A new tie rod only cost about 10 dollars at the dealer, so get one asap.

 

Alright thanks for the reply I guess I can wait to ride it if it will affect steering like that.

 

Also my starter has to be pushed in really far for it to work and then after it starts and its running it is still trying to start it. I think their is a short in the wire or something......what should I do?

 

Spay the switch with WD-40 or CRC. It just might mud/crud in the contacts. You made need to take the switch loose and spay it from the back side.

 

Alright thanks I'll try that.
