i got a cannondale today(used) its a 2003 cannibal, i dont know much about them yet, cause im used to yamaha's and honda's. it is bogging, does anyone know what it could be? could it be the fuel filter, because the guy said it might need a new one pretty soon. please tell me what you think. thanks

Make sure your battery connections are tight and also clean!. Try that first before changing the fuel filter.

I would do both. Remember to use the Napa fuel filter. I forget the # but it is on the parts page. Cheap fixes for under $2. Also I have a similar problem like this, but mine is more advanced.

thanks, anyone else have any suggestions, oh and would the battery have anything to do w/the bogging?

yes, if you don't have good clean connections it will bog and act like it has no power. Believe me I found out the hard way, luckily when I messed with my positive cable it ran good again...otherwise I thought I was walking several miles back to my vehicle with my quad left in the woods. I took the quad home, clean the cables and posts good with sandpaper and didn't have any problems.

Moto, Blaze, or Moto-Speed all are good options. Do you have the D&M kit?
