Does the spark arrestor need to be maintained, removed and cleaned or anything of that nature?

 

Well I persuaded that sucker out last night and it didn't really need to be cleaned. Waste of time.

 

How many miles are on your quad.

 

1300. I don't have a manual, but my bro-in-law just bought a new one and I briefly read in his manual that it should be taken out and cleaned. Maybe that's just for new ones in case the sound deadener stuff breaks loose in the new muffler. Just a guess. Whaddya think?

 

I think it will collect small carbon deposits and slightly build up over time . I only have 120 miles on mine or I would check it out and let you know.
