    Hello, I hoping someone would have guidance. I use my machine to plow snow. Always in low. Today when plowing, I noticed a clicking noise almost like something was binding and releasing. Came from the clutches. I immediately tore it down and could find nothing wrong besides the belt was a...

    Hi everyone, I have a new 570EPS Premium with 69 miles on it. I noticed a clunking sound around 35 miles on the machine. It only happens when I am at 3mph.

    Hey guys, I have this 2019 General Deluxe and during bumpy rides the noise the back cargo box does is driving me insane. I'm talking about the one you open up to get access to the engine. Is there any way I could get it fixed? Thanks

    When I accelerate and get up around 10 mph it starts whining and as I continue accelerating it keeps whining. How can I fix this? Is it something that can be fixed? Thanks.

    HI guys this seems like a no brainer, but I just can't believe this is actually the problem on such a new machine, so I am looking for some opinions,experiances and diagnostic techniques before I start ripping stuff apart. The machine is like new and I want to proceed with reasonable caution...

    2 questions about a 1997 xpress 400 2x4 with a rebuilt 250 motor 1st-Brake lever feels a little spongy. Takes awhile for ATV to come to a stop. I replaced the pads. The old ones were actually in pieces. I installed new wheel bearings. I bleed an entire bottle through lines. The rear/foot...

    My 2013 sportsman 400 started to make a weird metallic noise from the lower part of the engine. It sounds like a bad piston but since the noise comes from the lower oart, I figured it couldn't be piston or valve problems. I also ruled out the crank because I checked the oil filter and I had no...

    I have my 99 sportsman 500, when i try to start it either the starter won't engage and will just make a grinding noise, or it will engage and start the motor and then will make that same grinding noise for about 4-5 seconds after starting. I have no idea what this could be. I had a friend look...

    Hello, this is my first post on the forum. I bought a used Phoenix for my son and I didn't notice this problem until we had it home for a few days. There is an odd 'creaking' noise that seems to be coming from the rear end. I used a makeshift stethoscope to try to narrow down the location but...

    Hello Folks, Last week I purchased a 2005 Scrambler 500HO off some fellow in the military. He stated that the bike had been sitting for a while and he was taking off to Guam in 3 weeks and just wanted to get rid of it. I made him an offer and he handed me the key. At the time, the bike was...

    Recently my 08 sportsman 800 has started making a howling noise in the transmission. It is definatly a metal on metal noise and is progressively getting worse. I stuck my finger in the granny fill hole and the fluid is a little dark but normal. It gets a lot louder on deacelleration but is still...
