Default It just keeps tareing up

Ok, I was out ridding to day and stoped for a beake. When i got off my prairie i noticed sevreal loaud pops when i shifted my weight, So i thought it was the rear spring and started checking it out. I was pressing up and down on the quad while looking at the rear spring and it seemed fine. Then I started shakeing it side to side and heard some thomps when i did that. I then noticed that it was comming from the middle of the quad and saw the engine moveing back and forth like it wasent even bolted in!! could them loud pops i hear when i shif my weight be the same problam? And If my motor mounts are broken will the ext warrenty cover them? thanx.

Sounds to me your swing arm bolt is loose or your bushings are worn out. Do you use a pressure washer? It could be just need to be tightened.

I checked out my motor mounts today and found that the rear braket on the left side had bothe bolts missing, I went out and bought some new bolts at the hard ware store and thay wouldent go in. So i took a bolt out of the other side and tryed it and it wouldent go in either. I think when they came out the threads on the braket was wallerd or something. Im gonna call the dealer tomorrow and see if they will replace it. can just one braket being lose cause the motoe to shift back and forth?
