Well the issue I am having is my clutch is engaging way far out and i tried to adjust the screw on the handle bars for it and when i adjust it by turning it out the further i go the more the clutch slips? I have turned as tight as possible in and it doesnt slip but it engages right at the end. Also when I try to put it in reverse i have to slowly let the clutch out till it goes in??? Any ideas?

 

Is it new from a dealer

 

yup 2 months old

 

if you have low hours on it it may be still in the breaking in time. The clutch might have to much lubricant. If it was me i would not mess with it and i would bring it to be checked out before you keep riding it

 

i have probally 30 hour on it

 

oh, i would just get it checked out at a shop first

 

anyonelse have an idea of what it could be?

 

Clutch adjustments are made in very fine adjustments. when you turn an adjuster, either at the clutch perch or clutch actuator arm (ontop of the engine case) you only want to make small 1/4 turns.

New quads will wear in their parts. A brand new quad with about 30 hours on it is due for some minor adjustments, i.e. throttle cable, clutch cable, chain, etc. It does not sound like a serious problem with your clutch. You just need to adjust it.

Make a few quarter turn adjustments to loosen the cable (and delay engagement). Start it up and don't ride it, but kick it in gear and slowly let the clutch out. If when you kick it into first there is not a noticeable "kick" with the lever all the way in, then you have over adjusted it. You should notice the bike kick into gear when you throw down the shifter.

With the clutch properly adjusted, you should notice a slight kick when you throw the shifter down, but not too much of a kick. The bike should also die when you let the clutch all the way out w/out throttle. If you can let the clutch out w/out throttle and it slowly and roughly moves forward, you have too mutch pull in your lever.

Keep making small adjustments, firing it and feeling the lever action. Small adjustments, fire. Small adjustments, fire. Etc...

Consult your manual if necessary. It will tell you exactly how much free play in the lever will give you a comfortable clutch feel. If you can't figure it out yourself, take it to a shop or ask a knowledgeable buddy. But it's not too hard and is an adjustment you should be capable of doing as a quad owner.

good luck.
