Finally got my ride up and running (with the exception of the front brakes, LOL). Anyway, I have a couple of oil leaks that I need to chase down too. No big deal. One thing I noticed when riding is that when we shut the quad down while in NEUTRAL, something in the case continues to spin....for line 10-15 seconds...a LONG time. My cursory research has pointed me to a 'one way clutch bearing'? I do have engine braking if I goose it a little going down hill or if I shift mid-decent. When I shut it down in NEUTRAL, it will spin down and if I wait until I almost can't hear it anymore, and shift into 1st, it stops immediately.


Thanks, all!

Heh, funny I have the same problem with my TRX300FW '95... Brakes AND one way bearing! Lmao.

I haven't fixed mine yet but it is on my to-do list for next winter.

I can get my bearing to catch if I goose it down hill. BUt also odd to me is that when the engine is OFF and the quad is in gear, you cannot push it. It does not free wheel under those circumstances.

I am not replacing anything until I can confirm the bearing it bad. Anyone know how to test and verify?

Mine becomes fine if the engine is hot. Not sure why it would do that but it does? I'd like to know if it might be something else as well.
