recently bought my son an 06 z250 put paddles on it wow what a dog doesnt seem to want to rev out carb has adjustment screw that i could see is it true that the stock rev limiters are junk.....need anyone help

 

this happened after you put on the paddles? doesn't make any sense. clogged fuel filter if it has one. how about air filter? did you buy it used?

 

What kind and size paddles did you put on it?
They are not the best quad for the sand....but you should be able to do any kind of normal duning unless your kid is man size.......
As for the CDI, we never had any issues with ours.

 

when i rev the motor in neutral when it get to a high rpm its sputters,yes i bought it used from a friend only had 9 hours on it...im baffled...i love my ltr450 though..haha

 

ok you must be bumping the rev limiter then

 

i am took it to beach this weekend put stock tires back on was better but still not totally happy thanks for input guys

 

by the beach I assume you mean Pismo. We've had our 250 there with paddles and it did fine. It easily went up any hill there.
I think you got something else going on unless you got some insanely heavy paddles or something............
It should have done better with paddles. They don't do well in the sand without them. I've got 6 paddle gliders on ours.

 

yeah i put a 140 pound rider on it with paddles and he didnt do well seems to run fine what size paddles do you have on yours

 

I believe they are 20-10-8's on DWT .125 wheels. It is a VERY light set-up with the gliders.
I have ridden that thing myself (following the kids on the 400's) through some pretty big stuff at Glamis and it does OK. The main thing I find lacking is straight up hill-climbing. It does good on dirt but not so much in the sand. Powerband and gearing just aren't right for that. My wife (aout 130) rode it now my son (about 100#s) rides it now. Pisses him off that he cant go up some of the hills his buddies do on their raptor 250's but he can go anywhere in the dunes.
Buy the kid a Z400.

 

yeah i should of he rides my r450 but it a little much for him 400 is what i should have got
