It seems like the transmission is tight in neutral. What can cause this? Anyone else experienced this on the new Raptor 350? It rides and runs ok. I took it in on a trade. Can it be just not loosened up and broke in? Ive never seen a trans do this. (be so tight)
thanks
Shock

 

try adjusting the clutch, i really don't know what that could be casuing it, mine did it for about a week when i was first breaking it in, it was hard to shift into 3rd and the clutch didn't fully open up so it was tight, i adjusted it up and its good now. You may need to beat it up a little to loosen things up.

 

A buddy of mine had the same problem (2001 Warrior) and he ended up tearing it down, clutch was ok, bearings were ok, only thing he found was a thrust washer causing it to bind up, he just ground a little bit of the washer off and its been fine ever since.

 

Ive never had that problem but i know mine sqeaks enough in the front an now the rear bout ready to shoot it ive greased it but no help there lol

 

could be too tight of a chain

 

pull the pins out of the shocks and put some grease in there...

 

also back onto topic... my dad's 03warrior has about .5 of an inch to catch neutral... the giuy who last owned it wrecked it pretty bad... so we are thinknig the shifter is bent..

 

My friend just got his new 2005 Raptor 350Le, and it hard to put into neutral but it still in the break. Also, when you put it into neutral the light works sometimes and doesnt other times. I think it may be a lose connection, but has anyone else had this problem.

 

yea, for the first 2 hours it was a b*tch putting in neutral. it might help sometimes to shut the engine off and try goin into nuetral. worked for me. its jus breakin in thats y

 

Every quad has a nuetral light issue - Do you shift with the clutch or w.o?
