Our local dealer has a speed in stock. It is an 03 and has all updates except the front engine mount. He might make you a deal?

Spark Knock issues

I've been chasing a spark knock in my 03 Speed. I've been running Mobil Super and thought that the noise that I was hearing was just "The Cannondale noisy engine noise". Well Friday night I went ridding locally and decided to put an Octane Booster additive in the fuel. <br /><br />Presto! A percenta...

hmmmmmm,

Yep... That's what happened! I did it in March and I've got to tell you that I am still soar everyday... I can't get out of bed in the AM without pain and by the end of the day I can't sit or walk well without pain. It's getting old...

Ya know... That worries me because I had the hardest landing of my life about two months ago. Just about broke my back. Was on heavy pain killers and anti-inflamitory steriods for weeks just to walk... and I did not do that.... So, why is your's hitting? I can't believe that you hit harder than I di...

Engine pinging? Technical people please advise!

I recently replaced my spark plug. (I'm a maintanence junky) The quad came from the factory with a 9e and I ordered new ones from the parts store. They shipped me an 8e. Only problem is that I think that my engine is now pinging. <br /><br />At first I thought it was the chain slapping against my ne...

What was your reason for going to the 14T sprocket? I have an 03 speed and find that slow go through tight woods trails is nearly impossible. Do you find the same thing? If so... Does the 14T fix that? Or are you going the other way and looking for top speed?
