Re: SO SAD AND MAD !!!!!!
Just got off phone to the dealer and he is picking it up tomorrow to do the work on it >the bike was still running and ticking over very well over so hopefully not that much damage.
Re: SO SAD AND MAD !!!!!!
so i may just sound silly but When you took delivery of the quad and before setting off, Why didn't you do a safety check? Fluids and equipment?
Re: SO SAD AND MAD !!!!!!
As this was brand new from the dealer i asked him if i needed to do anything to it and he said no just get on and drive , there was water in the expansion tank so i assumed there would be in the radiator so not really my fault. I guess its a lesson learned to check for myself !!!!! and also its the first quad i've ever had so i guess just lack of experience .
Re: SO SAD AND MAD !!!!!!
Well as long as the dealer is covering it Good for you and lesson learned :icon10:
Re: SO SAD AND MAD !!!!!!
Do you think this could cause problems for anything else ? i.e life span of the engine ? Thanks
Re: SO SAD AND MAD !!!!!!
it could but you may have caught it soon enough. Lucky you didnt seize the engine
Re: SO SAD AND MAD !!!!!!
jinlingking,
You can have some serious problems in the future with your quad. Impossible to tell what could have been damaged in the engine running for that long without any coolant.
I would be trying to get a whole new quad.
It is the dealer's responsibility to have the vehicle properly serviced.

Like I said, no telling but you were running a new engine without coolant so it must have gotten extremely hot.
Some problems could be
water pump impeller burned up due to lack of coolant
damage to cylinder walls and piston due to extreme heat
warped engine block
warped head
