I'm having an issue with my 04 660SE...was wondering what your guys's input may be.
The last time I rode it this past fall, on the trails when I would get to the top of 4th gear and shift into 5th it would almost act like a car with overdrive, and just kind of hover at a low-ish rpm and not accelerate any more.
I think it may be a fuel issue, because sometimes when chugging along in 5th if I held the choke while ripping along it would accelerate, but still not nearly far as I think it is supposed to. I also think it may have to do with spark or ignition also though, because through the first few gears it seems to sputter and stuff at mid to high-ish rpm's almost like there is a rev limiter there (i know it is much higher). It would also take quite a while to reach the top of 4th, and accelerating through the other gears it feels as if it may be down on power all around.
What could this be? If it is fuel related and in the jetting, would that also cause the sputtering sensation? My quad is completely stock motor wise and I've ridden it for 4 years now and this is the first time I've had this problem. Just for fun I ordered a new coil and will put it on, figuring it wouldn't hurt. Should I just take it in and have it tuned somewhere? Would they be able to reach high speed/rpm in order to test it?
I know its a lot of questions, I'm just trying to cover everything. Thanks in advance guys! Great forum, a real wealth of knowledge here.
