I have been hating that thing all last winter. The Vforce has it, I just can't see it on the Prairie 700 diagram. It appears to be gone.

Hasn't your drivetrain ever oscillated under certain conditions? My friend's griz did the exact same thing mine did in this nasty heavy snow we were in (around 18 inches deep and constantly getting stuck). So, I know other quads have those dampers in them too.

Maybe the belt causes it? Maybe a reaction of the belt to this damper thing moving? I dunno, but in that bad heavy snow I could see the rear tires of his 660 stop and go constantly as he fought his way up a hill with a constant throttle. I tried the hill and my 650 shook at about the same frequency as the 660 tires were stopping and going.

Theory: I think the oscillation is a result of the CVT system design. You're spinning with zero traction and a light throttle setting. The clutches keep upshifting and then a tire hooks up on some hard snow or the ground. Light throttle + too high a gear = wheelspin suddenly stops. The CVT downshifts and it starts all over again.
