Hate to say this, but consider it a lesson well learned and get him a Honda! At 13 he is probably ready for a bigger quad like a 250EX anyway.

First post here.. I bought a 2003 Eton 150 cxl from a friend. We rode it for about a week.. but noticed that when it was going at the higher speeds the transmission sounded like it was smashing gears and would make a terible grinding sound. I noticed the chain was a little loose so I tightened that up (maybe a little to tight) but it is still doing it and getting worse. Esp if there is a load on it. like going up a hill.. it just pops out of gear and grinds.. Any help would be greatly appreciated (my 13yr son thanks you LOL)
I would take it to the shop but when I took it there last time it took them a month and a half just to look at it.

I would love to but being a single father of two money is a little tight so I'm just trying to work with what I have and let them have the most fun with what we got.

Ok from what I can tell.. it has to be something in the transmission. It will pop out of gear and make the grinding noise.. the chain stops moving until it slows down enough to grab the gear. Do you think I will have to replace the whole transmission or can I tear it apart and just replace a gear in there?
