Default 360 Prairie Clutch Noise

I went to go riding the other day and noticed when I decelerated the clutch made a weird sound. Does anyone know what is causing this noise and how can I fix it?

It's nothing to worry about, you should be hearing it a lot. it is the auto belt tightner.

You need to be more specific about the nature of the sound:
Is it more like (1). servo motor electrical sound, or (2). clanking/grinding mechanical sound? Does it happen only in Hi or Lo gear or both? Where is the noise coming from, CVT area, Engine/trans, Front Diff Gear Box, etc.?

(1). Electrical sound - If this noise was not present before and is new to you, then the EBC could be acting up, like it is engaging when it is not supposed to.
(2). Mechanical sound - Too many possibilities based on your info but a common source of the noise could be either the gear shift tie-rod adjustment or front diff gear box.

My guess is that the noise is coming from either the bearing cover plate (where the ebc teflon tipped fingers are pressing against) on the driver converter or the ebc actuator that is acting up and going bad. On either case, you can remove the ebc fingers from the cvt cover and drive your quad to see if you can duplicate the noise.
