I JUST PURCHSED A 06 AC 250 WHILE RIDING TODAY NOTICED A WHINNING NOISE FROM THE REAR DIFF. FROM 10-25 MPH. I WAS WONDERING IF ANYBODY WHO OWNS ONE HAS NOTICED THIS IF SO IT MAY BE NORMAL.

 

First drop the caps, it's the same a yelling here. I was under the impression the 2006 250 was chain drive. If it is, then you can only have a solid rear axle and no differential. If it's this new, take it back to the dealer for a check.

 

its a utillity model it has shaft drive. i have heard a similar noise from other shaft drive atv's but was hoping to hear if anybody else that is familliar with this particular model has noticed any noise. thanks!!!!!

 

My 650v2 does that, but its the Engine Break. Im not sure if you have this or not.

 

I'm not sure what that noise is, as I have not noticed it on my machine....
The 250 does not have engine braking. Trust me as I learned this the hard way.
"Now try putting it in low and going down the hill with no brakes."
"OK!"
*crash*

Haven't even seen the ute model yet, much less gotten to ride on. The advise to take it back to the dealer for a check still stands, it will be a warranty item whether anything is wrong ot not.
