Just got my first mini bike to play around with.
Right after assembly (went through the manual and tightened everything. Oil changed and added gas) the bike was making sounds like potential metal on metal every now and then. Seemed to run alright tho (slow af and not what I was expecting after doing all my research.)
I played with backing the screw out everyone talks about to increase HP with success as well as removed the housing over the air filter and quickly changed my opinion about the bike.
Used for damn near only 30-45 mins the rear tire has locked up and when You try to pull start it it creeps forward.
I’m thinking clutch?
Removed the cover over the clutch to reveal a build up of thick dusty like oil around where the clutch lives.
this normal for a brand new bike needing a new clutch after only short rides in my neighborhood?
I’m about ready to package this bad boy up and send it back
TIA for any input.
Remember I’m new so sorry if any descriptions seem wonky with verbiage.
