The way your talking, it seems like you've never ridden one. If you did, it must have been falling apart and beat the crap out of.

 

dude it was a chicks i went to pick it up for her at the cycle shop since they did not have a truck. brand new. got it to her house and it would crank like on the 4th try but it would not idle worth a crap. and it has been ridden by me i barely got it to do a wheelie and when it landed it almost broke my wrists since the shocks bottom out so easily.

 

hmm...I dunno...but my friend's is really, really torqy and jumps OK. It doesn't turn the best I'll give it that, but I liked the power of thre motor.....maybe you got a bad one or i was riding a good one?

 

yeah it could be that the carb was messed up from factory because we bought a new generator and it had trash in the carb. but when we got a 98 300 fourtrax it cranked and ran perfect
