Hi all,
I'm new to the forum, and new to owning ATV's. I have a 2003 Magnum, purchased it used. Anyway, 14 yr old nephew wanted to learn how to ride this weekend. I rode with him until I was confident he would safely operate it. Later, he asked if he could take it for a spin. About 15 minutes after he left, I got a call on the 2 way asking for help because something was wrong.
Apparently, at some point, he put it into reverse to back up and change direction, then ran full throttle in low gear until it died. I found some remnants of a shredded belt with the part number HP2003 on it.
I'm aware that I need to replace the belt obviously, but what other things may have been damaged?
Thanks in advance!
