 | First rip of the Year... new M7, no power, stiff ride... First ride of the year this morning on new M7. Can't get more than 3 or 4 miles per hour out of the thing? It took over a minute to get from one end of the driveway and back?  Conditions were icey to say the least after the rain we had last night so maybe it was traction? Maybe clutching? Can't tell for sure as I can't seem to open the hood to check things out. Any help is appreciated.

| Re: First rip of the Year... new M7, no power, stiff ride... If it's traction maybe a long track kit would help or if you insist on keeping the short track maybe a proper trail is what you need  RC Snowcat

| Re: First rip of the Year... new M7, no power, stiff ride... first couple things that i would check would be the piston return springs, muffler bearing, and the headlight fluid level... between those three things you should find the problem hahaha
