Well.....8 hours and 20 miles on the new 2009 Sportsman and i'm hearing some disturbing noises out of the rearend or drive shafts...i did'nt ride it the last 4 days and went out to warm it up and take it for a short run when, i went down the drive way and turned and heard what to be a CV shaft noise, being a auto tech for a many of years,i know that sound and then drove it in reverse and front ways to get a fix on it,well its comming from the rear..put it up on jacks and in neutral and spun the wheels:sad: sounds like something in the rear housing...and i'm not very happy at all...and i'm afraid to find out they have to tear it apart....my wifes says check the rear oil,i said no way...if they see any marks on the casing who knows what thier think.....I'm also afraid that when the ATV was built maybe somebody forgot to add === in the case....or it was'nt checked when it came out of the crate,either way i'm sitting here pretty mad and $#$#$#%#@!!, so i'm taking it to my dealer and see what goes.....and i do want to know the truth..God i hope it something not real bad...and they have it for 3 months...:sad:I was'nt going to type anything on here, cause i don't want to give Polaris a bad rap, cause they make a great ATV...so i'm venting here.. :sad:
