I've got a 1996 425 Magnum. It runs great, starts easy and doesnt smoke. I just bought it from the original owner and its a well cared for bike. He put a new carburetor on the quad and wanted to sell it after his tank petcock was leaking. I fixed the tank and installed a new petcock. It fired up and runs / drives no problem.
2 things I've noticed and need help with please and thanks to you all!
The quad idles like its got a cam in it out of a dragster. However when I bump the throttle ever so slightly it purrs really smooth and drives awesome. Choppy idle like it has a cam is no good; any fix? I checked the Electronic throttle position sensor and it seems accurate. However I did notice the quad looks like the throttle cable is new so I wonder if this is some of the problem?
The main problem I'm having is when I use reverse; yes switching the gear shift into reverse the quad idles up and wants to take off backwards without my ever touching the throttle. I litereally have to hang onto the brake to keep from crashing into anything behind me. I also have played with the Reverse Override and while depressing this in neutral, forward or reverse it will cause the same revving up on the throttle by hitting the yellow over ride button? What the heck...?
I've seen atleast 2-3 of these same issues listed but no responses on how to fix it that I could find? Can anyone help save me an expensive trip to the dealer? Thanks again everyone, Shane in Oklahoma!
