It wasn't anything major...
My sister needed to take pics for her college class, she needed action pics, so she asked me to go ride my quad and she would take pics of me. I was on a little hill, pretty steep though, and I was in gear and I shut off the engine, my front brakes were pressed. I then wanted to back off the hill and I let off the brakes and it went like a foot and then the rear tires locked because it was in gear and the front lifted up. I tried standing up but couldn't because it was to steep and I was falling back. I flew off the quad and was looking at the quad fall on me...
Here is a little pic to show what happened:

But I didn't get hurt, except my back kinda hurts now, the main reason for this post is that my clutch isn't working properly now... What I learned: Don't ride with a screwed up arm and under medication...
When I hold down the clutch now it is a lot tighter and harder to hold down, usually there was a little free play on the clutch, now it has like no free play at all. The engine and everything works fine, I can drive it around but the clutch is now alot harder to hold down and it has no free play. What is the problem?
