I was out riding my 300Ex this weekend and for the first hour or so everything seemed to be fine. Then I started having problems, or I should say one problem that seemed kind of strange. It would only happen in 3rd gear, but my quad would start to die at full throttle. I would wind out first, second, no problems , hit third, it would start to wind out then it would start to die like it was out of gas. Tried slowing down, hit the gas, same thing. Tried pulling in the clutch, and blipping the throttle, still no go. The only way to keep it from dying would be downshift to second and everything would be fine. For the rest of the day I just didn't wind out third and everything was fine, although, I could make the same thing happen at will, pinned in third , it died everytime. I thought it could have soemthing to do with the rev limiter, but wouldn't it act the same way no matter what gear I was in? Any ideas? Sorry this is a little long winded, but i figured the more info the better. Thanks in advance for your replies.
