When I get on the gas real hard I hear a vibrating in the front of my quad, and one of my friends said it might be the valves, how do I know?

my frame skid loosened up just a tiny bit on my once, made a heck of a racket when the motor was wound up tight.. :)

whatever you do make sure to check the simple stuff before going to crazy!

Could just simple be the plastics. I know my front plastics have a vibrating sound to them that sounds bad when wound up but it isn't anything to worry about. Just plastic on plastic vibration.

have someone listen close to your engine, if there is a clattering from the top end it might be. but these engines winde pretty tight, you would have to run the piss out of it to float the valves hehe.

make sure you spark plug is tight, I heard a rattle coming from the motor, and my spark plug was ready to fall out. the washer on the plug was what was makin all the noise
