I just purchased a Kazuma Falcon 110 and have enjoyed it for several weeks now. I have had several instances where it makes a loud "screeching" noise when I am in 3rd gear and running about 3/4 of full speed. It stops when I let off on the gas. Does anyone know what it could be???

 

They all do it but it will go away as it gets some hours on it. It is in the clutch. It only does it when it is hot and you have been driving around for a while and its only in 3rd gear going pretty fast. Our Kazuma 110 did it and our Yamoto 110 still does it but not near as bad. Our Yamoto is over a year old. Did you change the oil in the motor before you rode it? It is somewhat annoying but nothing to worry about.

 

Thanks, This is my first ATV and I don't know all the quirks. I called my local dealer that I purchased it from and he said he had never heard of the noise before. I just changed the oil today thinking that was the problem. It still made the noise.

 

It is a very common noise. Mostly on the older models like 05 and before.
