Yeah, mine's done that quite a few times, even with the clutch pulled in fully, pop it in gear, sometimes it'll lurch a bit and not stall, and sometimes it rarely might stall, this is mind you like a couple months standing up... Most of the time pumping the clutch lever has eliminated this, haven't had it in like a year maybe, mostly when it was newer....
Your clutch was most likely not fully broken in, like it was hanging up some still, like how its really touchy when you first get a new one or a new quad you know....So i would say that it prolly wont happen to you again.

what Sparx and Sick660 said.....

for washing, maintinence, storage or anything

Just go ahead and stand it up.

I also tip my rappy to the side to fill the oil tank,,,makes it a snap


I tip my Bronco back on the spare tire whenever I do an oil change. Makes it easier to change the filter

How do you check the oil level when you flip your Raptor sideways accurately? You could easily overfill it that way it seems? Man, tip a bronco back, do you have a crane or anything at your disposal? LOL

Yeah, I think my clutches were too fresh too, that's what I assumed it was, I should shift with it more often I guess! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Last ride out once again, I luv powershifting without the clutch, feels soooooooo right!

i never thought about tipping it for storage.. i guess i never needed to cause i have a shed to put it in.. i didn't know how easy it was to tip it back.. i'll try it sometime.. but i need a grab bar first.. i broke mine.. stupid wheelies.. so addicting but not cool if you screw it up.. i need a new exhaust tip too.. i tipped it back on accident without a grab bar.. i'm retarded.. i'll be the first to say it.
