alright so i was riding today and not dogging it or anything, just casual riding.
i stop for a moment to respond to the "call of nature" and when i go start my quad back up in 1st gear it started to pull pretty hard, even with the clutch all the way pulled in. the idle seems really low if i hold the rear brake with it in first.any idea on what is causing the problem, and what the solution might be? i have a hunch it has to do with the clutch adjustment. i would like to have this solved before tommorow morning for me to go riding with my buddies.
my quad is only 9 months old, and the engine is 100% stock.

i appreciate any info on the subject.

Thank you,
Chris

Since its new and stock...

adjust the cable right by the lever on the handlebars, you should be able to stick a nickel in between the lever and perch with freeplay.
