BigE is right... move it closer to the axle.
On mine the pickup is almost touching the magnets (keeps the dirt off also).

That is WAYYYY to high. Like Jackster, I keep mine almost touching the axle. Dirt gets in there and clogs it otherwise. Furthermore, I would be surprised if those little magnets were able to pick up anything at that distance. I get the impression from some of your posts that perhaps your dealer didn't do their assembly work too well. I would go over that buggy with a fine-toothed comb, using the assembly directions in the manual as a reference. Also, when the oil change time comes, double check the tag on the motor itself with the recommendations the book gives. The book says use 10w30, while on the 300, at least, the motor tag says to use 15w40, a huge difference in viscosity. Other than that, just check everything. I'm guessing you didn't buy this buggy from a motorcycle or offroad store? _________________ Carter Brothers gtr 300

Yep I am going over it carefully. Gotta redo the zip ties and fix the speedo today. This weekend is the oil and gear oil change. The anti freeze looks good. I will have to rerun the rear brake caliper line since they routed it UNDER the buggy. Nice.
They have only buggies and ATV's in the shop. So you would figure they would be ready to ride. I think they may have trusted their summer help too much. THey did mention they had fired a guy and have had problems keeping people this summer. Still whoever is overseeing it needs to do a check on the work. I am missing the battery strap and the caps for the front struts and the manual too. _________________ Carter GTR 250

Fixed it was too far away. Thank you to everyone for the help! I dont think it is very accurate but hey it works.
Now what is the best way to adjust the shocks? I used a pair of channel lock pliers on the Yerf Dog. These shocks are a bit bigger! They are set on the softest setting and I want to go up 1 or 2 notches. _________________ Carter GTR 250

If you don't have a spanner wrench, and since you asked I'm guessing you don't, you may be able to do it by hand. (if you can get a good grip down by the adjuster) Spray a little lubricant on the adjustment steps. Grab the base of the spring and adjuster from above. Pull up to compress the spring a little and take some of the pressure of the adjuster step/nub, and twist at the same time. Doesn't work all the time for everyone, but cost nothing to try. Easier to do w/ the lubricant than with out. You don't have to compress it much to get it to twist, but obviously the the higher you go on th adjustment the hard it will get. _________________ 05 Jehm Adventure Buggy 250cc, Torque Spring, 22.5gr Rollers, Modified Roll Cage, K&N, 21x7x10 & 22x11x10 Trac Star Radials, Vapor, Body Panels, 40T Spkt

Nope I do not have a spanner wrench but I can probably get one. I will try the manual way you suggested. Thanks for the info. _________________ Carter GTR 250
