Will your quad start in neutral without pulling the clutch?

I seems like mine used to, but now I have to pull the clutch even when it's in neutral. Any suggestions?

Always have to pull the clutch in no matter which gear or in neutral, also I think you are about my weight if I remeber right, I am 260 lb. Do you have any problems with bottoming out plus does the rear bounce or rebound hard through the woops if you run them hard if so what did you do to your settings on the shocks to stop this.

Dads400,

I'm only about 160 but I have the same problem in the whoops. I was reading somewhere about adjusting the rebound and compression and it helped alot, but I haven't tried anything on mine yet. I've bottomed the front on the softest setting, so stiffen it up for jumping. I like it soft for trails though.

250Excited,
Thanks and sorry about the weight, bad memory. I have adjusted the suspension but have not been able to ride it yet so hopefully today I can but I was just looking for some more suggestions incase it still does it, so far I have turned the compression in all the way(hard) and turned the rebound to its softest setting, someone mentioned to go stiffer on rebound but that just doesn't seem right but will try it if this does not work and I have also increased the preload, shortened the spring about 1/2 inch so we will see how this works plus I can't wait to pipe and jet it and will be replacing the air filter with a K@N filter soon.

Later,
Dads400

A Z has to have the clutch pulled. NOt only wil lit be hard to start if the tranny was engaged, it a switch that keeps you from starting it withoout pulling the clutch.

Kind of going off of the original topic but.
I think I got the suspension about were I want it, the rebound is still a little fast but I can not adsjust it any more, have it turned to the hard setting all of the way compression hard all the way and the preload tightened about a 1/2 inch past stock, might bottom out on a really hard jump or one that is not hit right but at least the back end does not snap up in the air when I hit a jump and I can now hit whoops at a higher speed without about going over the bars. But like I said it still does come up faster than I want it to but it is alot better than it was.
