o yea and one more thing.... wen i was riding it it made a big pop sound coming from my pipe. last time i heard that sound from my pipe it was because a wire was touching the pipe and wen it got hot the wire got hot and it blew afuse and made a big popping noise. anyways... it made the same sound today as the time with the wire. i hope that helps sumhow.

My only guess would be the idle speed is too high. You must have left it in gear, and got off?
The centrifical clutch starts to engage at about 1600 rpm, so the idle must be higher than that.

man you stumped me on that one

It could be a million things wrong, just isn't enough info there to do much with. Sounds like you need to do some digging before that thing leaves you stranded or worse

Pretty simple. Check your choke.....make sure it wasnt on part way.......the fast idle with the choke part way on will cause your quad to move when you start it in gear.
