My sons 2003 Breeze also has the slight hesitation and has done so from when it was new. I have never taken the time to try and get rid of it, since it doesn't seem to bother him. My other son, who is riding an Eton Viper 90, would have caught right on to the hesitation.

The only real complaint on the Breeze is the quick wear on the rear drum brake pads. Make sure that after you wash it down, you ride it some and apply a light pressure on the brakes as to build up a little heat to get rid of any water that makes its way in. The slight additional wear you may get on a wet drum will be far less than that of a rusted drum.

My oldest son has no interest at all of the mechanics of ATVing, the youngest definitely does. It's amazing how different the two brothers are. Glad to see you guys are having so much fun working together on the quad.
