Default Flipped over quad!

Ack! So im riding up this hill and there is like 1 inch of sand on top of hardpack. Anyways it throws me sideways and into a rut. Next thing I know im being chased by a rolling quad down the hill. So far I have bent clutch and handle bars. Anything else to look for? (this is my wifes quad btw.) So im trying to fix stuff before she finds out! Thanks!

Look at the a-arms, upper and lower, look at the back axle (put it on a jack and rev it up to check and see that there isnt any wheel wobble), are all the hand levers operating smoothly and where they are supposed to be? If you still havent got everything covered, start kissin a$$ and riding your own quad from here on out.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Hate to hear it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]Glad your alright though. Make sure the cables and electrical connections on the handle bars are still connected and not binding. Give it a good look over and making sure everything still lines up, alignment, fenders, axle, etc. Good luck

Thanks guys ill do that, being new and all i checked some stuff, of course the obvious. I will say this though, white plastic hides all the scratches real well hehe. Everything on the bars were cockied had to bend the bars back the clutch needs to be replaced, havent checked any suspension stuff yet. I Rode it and it seems ok so far, hope i dodged a bullet on this! These things are to spendy to be breaking em like that hehe.

Yes they are. But, it is part of the game[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]Especially if you play hard[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]Just in case she mentions something about it not handling right, make sure you listen to her, just in case you did over look something. Good luck and ride safer[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
