something broke?

Post by spreerunner »

i was riding my spree the other day and when i would take off from a dead stop there was noise that sounded like the clutch slipping but i thought nothing of it, today i took my spree out and i took off and the same noise appeared but this time the backend of my spree started "hopping" up and down but it would still move forward and the noise stopped after about 15mph. i have no idea what is wrong, do any of you?

I have the exact same problem with mine. It bounces like no other when I get it going. Is that normal?
