I know what you mean. When I ride mine on the road it pulls to the right.

What do you mean by "knocking".

Do you have any modifications to your 500? They could be causeing this.

Unbolt your racks, floorboards, and front bumper. Tape up the mounting holes Take them to a Line-X dealer and get them "bedlined". There is oonly one problem. It will probly cost around 200 bucks for everything. I will be doing this as soon as i get the money.

You know, spray-on bed liners.

Never had water in the differential. My dealer says he has never had found water in any Actic Cat's oil. the first thing you should do is change the ooz-it, that funny looking plastic thing.

Replace it with another one if it's cracked. If it is not cracked or damaged bring your quad to the dealer and have them check it out.
