Yes and yes.

My neutral light stopped working and then one day it started working again and have had no problem since. That scratchy sound, I'm not sure if its the same thing I am experiencing but I get it both on my P650 and V700.

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]Guess what? The neutral light was the first thing I noticed as soon as I got home with my new V. I've had it 7 months now and it seems to work better than it did, I don't know how or why. I did notice that alot of times if it didn't come on you could rev the motor in nuetral and it usually comes on. I guess it could be something more serious than a cheap light, so I'm not complaining.

Yep, had the same problem with mine (neutral light). Some days it would work, some days not. Some days it was on and off and even dim. I asked the dealer about it and they replaced the light pod module (from what I gather is like a circuit board with all the lights on it) under warranty. Haven't had a problem since then and it's been about six months now.

Yeah I noticed when I rev it comes on ...I told my dealer he is ordering me a new one...Thanks for all your input...I know its not that big of a deal but when I shell 6G's of my hard earned cash I want everything to work for at least 6 months or untill I roll it. On Other hand when I went to order part from dealer there was a guy in the shop that had his V force 2 hrs and some strange grinding noise was commin from motor...My buddie works at the shop and he said he had to tear whole motor apart and split case...That dude is bummin....What ya say to that( I am sorry sir that this happenend. Its gonna be covered under warrenty but we gotta tear the whole bike down...You can have it back in a few weeks......parts are on backorder...)

I would demand a different quad, I did when I picked mine up. I also had a tinging sound in the motor, very loud and it was way unde power. It was a piece of aluminum popping around in the cylinder. I got a different quad.

Yep, I have a neutral light with attitude as well. Works when if feels like it. Doesn't bother me since I'm not in neutral much. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]:Mine is very fast I love being able to smoke dirt bikes, raptors, ds650s, and any thing else I find. The only problem I have is the left tie rod keeps bending. Does anyone know where to get a good set of beefed up aftermarket tie rods? Please email me @ jtrothrock@***.net.

Mine never has had any problems other than the slide return spring on the rear carb broke in 2 places. That was weird. Must have been defective though, dealer ordered me a new one and I ordered a few extra from world of powersports just to have on hand.
