Would it Hurt the Quad?
Go over to a dealership when it is raining . . . they will have quads outside all over the place. The only thing I would be worried about is water into the exhaust or the air box if you run with the airbox lid off. I kept my lid and put it on when transporting in any weather or when washing it. I also use a plug for the exhaust.
Almost any machine can be ridden past a rider's abilities and most rider's, even beginners, can ride some of the big bore quads as long as they know how to ride within their abilities. Anyone can ride in a straight line in 4th or 5th gear, but what happens when you hit a bump, an object or come to an unexpected drop-off or turn? Riding within your abilities might mean staying in 2nd or 3rd gear and not "pinning it" until you learn how to brake quickly and under control, and how to identify potential hazards and safely avoid them, or to stay away from the steep hill, side-hilling etc until your skill increases.

i honestly admire the kids ability to realise how much his father works and how much he appreciates what his father does, it doesnt seem like this kids a greedy brat at ALL, hes a very patient smart kid, so get off his case
