This is an update to a few other various posts made on this forum regarding noisy clutches on the 2004 Outty. The specific noise is one that almost sounds like a dry bearing or something out of balance at certain RPMs. It is a vibrating/metallic sound and it is very prevalent at 10-15mph. It is loud enough that people riding with you will hear it even with helmets on.

Well the good news is that I opened a problem file with Bomb customer support and they are going to work with the dealer to try to correct the noisy clutch. They have already replaced the clutch and it didn't correct the problem so it may not even be in the clutch.

The bad news is that they claim that they have had no other files opened from other Outty owners so they do not know what the issue is. I know that this is not an isolated case because have read comments here on this forum and I have also started two other brand new Outtys at the dealer and they made the same noise. The belt drive systems will always have a little whine to them and this is normal. This is a metalic like chatter noisethat I am referring to.

If you have an Outty that has these characteristics PLEASE call Bombardier customer support at 715-848-4957 to open a case number. They are willing to listen work with customers on this but if more customers call with the same problem I am sure that it will get elevated to a higher priority.

Also post here to indicate that you have opened a file with them.
I will post a follow up when/if my problem is resolved.

i think that it might not be your clutch i think that it might be your muffeler because my outlander makes that kind of a noise but its not from my clutch its the muffeler, i might be totally wrong but just check and see.

 

The problem is we can't figure out just where this damn noise is coming from, so the case numbers are not correlating, because everyone thinks it is a different problem........
