The shifting will loosen up as he rides it. May take a couple weeks depending on how much time he puts on it. But it will get better. Took my son to the MX track for his first time this past saturday. He didn't want to take any breaks. He was riding the kiddy track and was jumping just as far as the kids on the dirtbikes. I'm definitely happy with the performance of this quad.
If it'll run... I'm ridin'!!!
