I´ve had my traxter xt for about 3 months now, I'd have to say it's an awesome machine. At the beggining I had backfiring problems wich somewhat have gone. Now my low range is slipping out! It works fine for a little while but then it starts to make a clanking noise like is slipping out and then is totally gone like in neutral. I move the lever back to high and then back to low again and it engages the low again but just for a little while again!! Can anyone give me a hint on what the problem can be??? I love the machine (BRUTE POWER!!) but with these problems I'm kind of starting to doubt the reliability of the quad!

 

I had the backfire problem with mine too when it was brand new - last fall. My dealer adjusted the carb and it has not done it since. I've never had the problem with it slipping out of low range - sounds like that is a dealer adjustment as well. So far I am 99% satisfied with mine.
I just had it to the dealer again to put a primer button on the carb for easier starting in cold weather so will see how that works. If it starts better with the primer then I'll probably be 100% satisfied. I have 600 miles on it so far and other than what I mentioned, it has been perfect.
Have you called the dealer about yours yet?
Good luck!

do a search in this forum for this. I had the same problem with my traxter. linkage was loose (locknuts on either end of the shiftrod were losse) I described my fix in excruciating detail
a few months ago.....John C

 

Yes, johnc has it, the dealer has to remove the right front fender inner shield, where he will find the offending loose linkage I am told, from there it is a very easy/simple fix.
You will love the Traxter I am sure, and yes the power is great. Try it against a Grizzly and you will laugh for weeks as I have.
