I know this has been posted before, but I did a search and couldnt find anyone w/the same problem I have that included the noise.
I have only taken my quad out a few times since I got it, and noticed the vibrating my 2nd trip out.
The trip was in Pismo. I noticed that the quad would vibrate really bad in 2nd gear, so much so that it hurt my hands. Along w/the vibration it sounded (to me) like the quad wasnt going into gear all the way? My boyfriend suggested it was just my imagination or the sand tires (I only have them in the rear) after riding it around for a little bit. The vibration is the worst when I am just cruising in 2nd, not full throttle.
On the last trip we went on (to Azusa Rincon Shortcut) the vibration seemed to be worse. Again, the vibration is the worst cruising in 2nd gear. This trip however, I noticed it would be vibrating and making this weird noise like the gear wasnt ingaged all the way in 1st and 3rd as well. The noise is hard to explain and I wish I could because I just want to figure out what is wrong here. I had my boyfriend ride it again, and he thinks we should check all the engine bolts to make sure they are tight, but he isnt sure.
Has anyone had this problem, if not, what would you suggest we look at?
Thanks in advance for all suggestions!
And Im glad to be here!
