My buddies and I were out playing in the river bottoms. Long story short. I decided to climb some big freakin steep hills that I have been up a hundred times. I hit that dang thing in the wrong gear. I got to the top and was out of power. I made a bag decision when I didnt fix my breaks so no breaks and out of power at the very top of the hill. I jumped off as it started back down. It flipped a bunch of times and hit a tree. I bent both racks, cracked the rearend and it wont free wheel when in neutral. I hope that is it. It still runs and drives. Hopefully I can fix the rearend and be able to ride it without it looking pretty anymore.

ouch, i had something like that happen to me. Was going down a hill, been down over a thousand times, tire caught rut twisted handlebars out of my hands, and forward i went, crawled out of the way enough to where the atv didn't hit me in the head, entire back area of atv (back rack) landed right smack dab on my back though. Knocked me out and i laid there while my friends tried to pick me up. I'm a big ol boy to, so it wasn't easy for em. But since i have been down that hill multiple times and no problems so far.

At least you didn't get hurt, I had something similar happen when I had my foreman, when my flipped it snapped the rear axle off at the hub.

My bike still starts and runs like a top. It is hard to push when it is neutral. I am guessing something must be in a bind dor jammed in the diff. The diff cover is also cracked and leaking. I have a friend that can weld the cover for me. Just curious, since i am going to have it apart does anyone know if I can change the gear ratio or anything I can do to get more speed out of it?

rolled my quad a few weeks ago. I guess I am pretty lucky. I had it land on my twice. the rincon faired out ok though. the only thing that is very bad is the wheel has a flat spot in the rim. the meter got ripped from its mounts and the front clip is broke. most people do not know that I rolled it at all just looking at it. I was trying a hill climb and it came over on me. luckily I was wearing my helmet and really did not get hurt. you can tell the helmet took a shot though. deep scratchs from a rock.

glad to see you are ok though. the four wheeler can be fixed
