Or the rocks in your pipe. They could have been in there when you had the tire put on.

It might be rocks in the exhaust. And if you say its from your tires then if you ever put fix-a-flat in your tires it might be that because if you let your quad sit in the cold over night it freezes in the tire and when you pull out it breaks into peices and probobly hits the in side wall and sounds like rocks hiting it

It's small chunks of rubber inside your tire. Over time tiny chunks of rubber ball up and get larger inside your tire, they all do that, don't worry!!!

Thanks guys. It's not in my pipe,I took the tire off the quad (not off the rim) and shook it. It had more of a "tinky tinky" sound than a "thuddy thuddy" sound. Thats why I thought rocks. I havn't poot fixaflat in them so its not that eather. Im not to woried just curious.

I have something in the factory tires that sounds like a ball or rock and always wondered what that was. Some truck drivers put 5 or 6 golf ***** in their tires to reduce vibration and to help balance them.
