[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] we picked up a second Z250 today, this one wont idle in gear? im wondering if its a break-in thing? we have 5 minutes of time on this quad.

 

dude wth u get a new quad, go ride it!! why are you sitting around on the computer

 

Take it back. I'm guessing it wasn't setup correctly to begin with.

Me and my cousin put about six hours on each 250 today (the second one is his), he was trying to follow break in the best he could, but the thing would not idle. I got on it and ran it wide open, let it coast, wide open, let it coast about 4 times, idled better but still not good enough.
Spark plug was fouled, its running awesome now. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] we are loving the 250s, these are some of the funnest quads I have ever ridden.

 

you don't go past half throttle when you're breaking it in

 

depends on how you choose to break it in, I think what fouled the plug is just putting around burning gas. I ran it to clean the plug up some.

 

Actually no your supposed to push it hard when breaking it in. Saw it on another thread

 

what are you talking about dude you don't go past half throttle the first 10 hours

 

I never did that. After about the first hour I went full throttle.....nothing wrong with it yet.

 

actually, you are supposed to go between all the ranges during break-in. It wont hurt it to go wide open, but dont hold it more than a couple of seconds or you WILL do damage. Believe it or not babying a new engine can do just as much damage as not getting on it a little bit.
