LOL...maybe but once you go upside down, it'll push you down into the water with gravity's help!

What other forums are out there that aren't owned by Vertical Scope...they own all of these http://www.verticalscope.com/powersports/site-list.html

If you are a new member, don't forget to introduce yourself in the forums! 😁

Good morning!

I would check the air filter and then the carb, it sounds like you are either short on air or fuel. After that check spark, plug, wire, etc.

Welcome to QUADCRAZY. Are you saying it just bogs down or higher gears have no torque?

Topic moved to Polaris forum. Sounds to me like your Xpedition has a broken speedo cable or sensor. In your other topic I included a link to ebay or click here to see use cables and speedometers. I would try disconnecting and see if it turns. This is of course assuming its not driven by an electronic sensor and wire which then you'll need to test.

Topic moved to Polaris forum. Have you checked ebay? There are some for other models here: Polaris ATV Speedometer

Welcome to QUADCRAZY! I moved your topic to the Can-Am forum. I usually check Amazon for all my stuff and then compare other sites. Can-Am 2006-2017 DS 250 DS250 Timing Silent Cam Chain S14401HMA000 New OEM

I saw this article on Motosport and thought it was pretty good. Anyone add anything? You might think hopping on-board an ATV and going for a spin is just as easy as taking your regular 4-wheel car for a ride around the block. After all, both have four wheels. How hard could it be? In many respects, you're right. Some adventure riders choose quads over their two-wheeled counterparts of the dirt because there's less chance of crashing and it's easier to learn. ATVs also offer more manageability for younger riders to get acquainted with outdoor riding than a dirt bike. However, beginner riders on ATVs tend to make the same mistakes that result in crashes, roll overs and injury that could be avoided with some instruction and know-how. If you're looking at a fun family outing by renting ATVs or want to get into the sport take advantage of the following points and avoid the same mistakes so many other first time ATV riders make that end their day early or before they barely get started. 1. Nerf Bars Get Nerf bars. These are not soft cushy add-ons that are cousins to the football you use during backyard football games. In many respects, Nerf bars are gigantic foot pegs. Don't bother with traditional foot pegs because you'll constantly slip off and because of the "I feel safe factor" that comes with riding a quad you'll also have a tendency to let your feet drag when riding. That's a recipe for getting one or both of your feet caught in the back tire resulting in serious injury. Nerf bars allow you to stabilize your feet and get maximum control over the ATV Rest your feet easy on Nerf bars 2. Rolling Over Believe it or not, it's fairly easy to roll an ATV over. And you don't want to be on the bottom of that sandwich. The most common way of ending underneath a quad is looping out. That's done by hitting the gas and having little to no experience with the power of an ATV. The front spikes up like an out of control stallion, throws you onto your back like a bucking bronco and then pins you like a UFC Champ. The second way is when you're having a bit too much fun sliding around in mud or other slick conditions, the tires finally do what they're designed to do and grip the ground but the rest of the bike, with you on it, keeps going. Finally, those who think they've found their bearings take aim for a steep slope and try to conquer it only to end up upside down or in their attempt to arch alongside said steep hill, tumble over the side. 3. False Sense of Security This goes somewhat hand-in-hand with the roll over capability that many riders fail to appreciate therefore they also neglect wearing proper protective equipment. Don't think wearing jeans, t-shirt and sneakers is adequate protection when riding a 4-wheeled machine powered by a gas engine that doesn't have seatbelts. You need a helmet, goggles, gloves and riding boots at a minimum. Once you start ripping it on the track or trails add a chest protector, neck brace, knee brace, etc. 4. Throttle Control Everybody wants to skip the kiddie stage and get right into hair-raising speed when it comes to riding ATVs. OK, most everybody. But for those who do so many put on the cloak of invincibility and think a quad is merely a mini car that finally enables them to release all sorts of pent up childhood inhibitions. So they jab their thumb into the throttle with the expectation of a controlled roller coaster ride. Instead, they loop out and end up underneath the quad or manage to stay seated only to careen off course and introduce their 4x4 to a large tree. ATVs normally have a thumb throttle and most have an automatic clutch so the clutch is one less thing to worry about. So go slow and figure out how much "thumb" is too much and get used to the speed and power an ATV delivers before really going for a ride. Oh, one more thing, learn to take your thumb off the throttle! It's not to hard to loop out on an ATV 5. Loading the ATV Never, ever ride an ATV up a ramp into the back of a pick-up. If you want to know why just go to YouTube. If you want to know how to load an ATV check out this fine piece of quality information on How to Load a Motorcycle, Dirt Bike or ATV into a Truck. The bottom line to riding an ATV the first time is treat it like you would anything that comes with a modicum of danger. Careless behavior endangers you and others but with common sense and a willingness to learn you'll enjoy of lifetime of riding quads.

What a great excuse to revive an old topic! Happy 4th of July weekend everyone! I took Monday off and am going away with the family.

WOW! Pretty cool. Post some pics when you get a chance. I'm sure the riding is beautiful.

Maybe it's normal for that quad, have you checked with anyone else or other forums to see? I did a google search and there are some topics out there on similar scenarios like this.

I'm still here! I think everyone else must have changed their email address or something, or is just too old for quads! I am 43 now, not the young lad I used to be...gotta live vicariously through my kids these days. But still thinking about getting a Honda 250 or 450 sport quad to toy around with when I'm not riding my grizzly. Today I had the yammy out moving dirt around the yard...that's what I do these days, yard work with my quad. Just ordered a plug, air and oil filters and oil...gonna do the maintenance and get back out in the woods!

Sounds the same as that video. It does sound like a loose timing chain or valves slapping. Have you changed the oil? Make sure it's the correct oil with the correct additives.

Do you work for PIAA or other seller? I have done reviews before and would give someone else an opportunity but if nobody comes up, let me know and I'll attach and review it with a short article and some pics. https://www.quadcrazy.com/atv-magazine/
