Holy smokes, I think you might be the first 550 guy with the issue. It's not a big deal, but people are gonna be surprised to read this one!

Has your quad been tipped over on its side?

I had some oil in mine a while back.But it was after I tipped the quad over I haven't checked recently, to see if the problem reoccured. I will go check again
