Default Big problems with vforce please look maybe you can help out

Well the vforce is having some problems. Whenever we take it out for a long hard ride and then get back to camp it will make this loud clicking noise if im driving slow and let off the gas. Say im going about 5mph and as soon as i let off the gas it goes "tick tick tick tick" real loud.

Also im not sure if this is normal but when i am going down a hill it seems to slip into nuetral. I have to give it a little gas for it to kick back in gear. This may be absolutley normal though. Please let me know.

This is normal. My V does it also unless there is alot of back-pressure.... if I am on the back brakes while slowing the clutch will disengage.

If you are running paddles and going 5mph or under your driveshaft will chatter.As far as slipping into neutral thats just the belt letting go of the clutches due to no tension...This must be your first auto tranny bike ?huh ?

well guys thanks for the replys. I sure do feel a lot better now. This isnt our first auto quad. We had a 500 scrambler for a while but didnt experience the same problems.

I had the same problem with the V Force going into a nuetral state when i let off the throttle, this happened after my local shop replaced the throttle cable. I ran my idle speed a little higher than normal and adjusted the throttle cable and the problem is gone.
