I just bought a 00 Rancher ES 4x2 today and love it! One question too whoever can help. I was just wondering if the shifting noise ( which is basically a click noise, sometimes louder than other times ) that happens when you shift gears is normal on the Rancher ES's. Im told by the dealer that it is normal. Thanks and HAPPY QUADING! 00 Rancher, 97 Recon, 97 Lakoda.

 

I know this is the tranny shifting but is it supposed to make any noise?

 

our 450es does that too....i assume they are similar
if it ain't broke don't worry about it
its under warranty!

 

My Rancher ES 4x4 doe sthe same thing. Smetimes louder than other times. Many other posts here indicate this is normal for this ATV.
Enjoy your ride!

 

I have noticed that when accelerating that it tend to clank louder.

No problems with the ES, Its great, when I ride my wifes Recon, I find my self searching for the gear changer with my thumb.
