Also check your ETC. You can pop off the throttle housing cover and look at the contacts in the throttle housing they shouldn't touch. The free-play at the end of your thumb throttle should be 1/16-1/8 of an inch. You can adjust this on the cable approx six to eight inches from the throttle housing. They come out of adjustment on occasion.

General / Open Discussion / Re: Anyone ever jump a Quad with IRS?

Landing an irs quad is actually easier than a solid axle. If you come off a jump crooked on an sa quad, the landing is harsh, and you could have the handle bars ripped from your hands. However, landing crooked on irs is not an issue. The reason irs isn't popular for mx is they tend to roll (body roll) in turns, and they are heavier and more complicated. IRS on sport quads is best suited for cross country. Good or bad is simply a matter of personal preference. p.s. Honda's 700x "sport" quad weighs 65 lbs more than Polaris's. ![Roll Eyes](http://www.atvflorida.com/forum/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

North on the Turn pike to SR 70( Okeechobee Rd ). East on SR 70 a few miles and you'll see the sign on your left. There is a small diner on the right. Enjoy.

The off-road loop is a good time, not too muddy as of last week. Thundercross is a top-notch facility. Its def worth the trip.

I owned an 04' KTM 125 sx and rode at Bithlo also. That bike rocked. The linkageless suspension is very sensitive to static and rider sag. If not setup properly, the bike will act like any other poorly setup bike. ![Wink](http://www.atvflorida.com/forum/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Sometimes when you go into deep water, water and dirt will enter your carbs vent lines. You will probably need to drain and clean your carb.

The transmission has to be removed from the chassis to be split open. The chain allows the tranny to go into reverse. Don't attempt unless you are mechanically inclined and have a shop manual. If you are mechanically inclined its fairly simple, just a pain in the Polaris ![Wink](http://www.atvflorida.com/forum/Smileys/default/wink.gif) . I did it on one of my Trailblazers. Be sure your transmission is aligned correctly when you put it back in the chassis. Good Luck.

What brand and model ? If it is the sportsman that you had mentioned in the other post, spray the radiator with degreaser and gently rinse a few times on both sides. Also, check the heat sensor connection on the left hand side of the cylinder.

The oil in the air box probably came from the crankcase breather tube, this is common if the crank case has been over filled. The flywheel has a small metal piece called a key way. It holds the flywheel in place (for timing) these things are cheap and easy to replace. they are often damaged by cheap aftermarket ignitions (rev limiters). Also, check your fuses, I think they are in a black blister pack, can't recall the exact location. If you need more info, go to www.predatorowners.com they will solve your problem for sure. Don't give up on it yet, they are good machines.
