Hey guys,
Great site. I have been riding a Troy Lee Predator for 4 years, and now am a proud new owner of a 2009 Stealth Black 850 XP. I took it out for my first real ride this past weekend, and really enjoyed it. I did notice a few things though. It sounds like the top end of the motor makes a slight ticking noise when "unloaded" or freewheeling, and the rear end makes noise when first engaging a gear (from park to high, etc...).
I have been searching on this forum, and have found lots of useful info. I just put in a call to my dealer, and he is going to get back to me on the available recalls for my machine. But what else is there to keep an eye on?
Here is what I have learned from this site so far:
1. Front ball joints (mine are looking good so far)
2. Rear axles popping (hopefully mine will be fixed under warranty)
3. Some people describe a slight top end noise, and some say they don't have that on their machine
I love the machine, and am very impressed with the power. I would just like to hear what the pro's on this site have to say on what to have the dealer look at and what to watch out for in the future?
Thanks for any and all input!!
