Title: I sputter in reverse.....
Post by: GaryinSeffner on January 17, 2005, 04:23:48 PM
just wondering if someone could diagnose my problem. I was riding at Croms about a month ago and I started having some trouble with my bike. It appeared to not be getting gas and I was able to make it back to the truck after stalling a few times. When I got home I rode it and there was no trouble. I cleaned the filter and changed the fuel in it. It rides fine now as long as I'm not in reverse. In reverse it sputters alot and doesnt want to go anywhere. Any ideas?

thanks for the help!

if your ride a Z or one of its clones its your rev box it is set really low on the quads

they all do it,the only fix i know of is to get a dyna,or some sort of after market ignition that will raise or by-pass the rev-box in reverse
