I have just recently bought a 06 brute force 650i and was out riding it this weekend and was helping to pull a friends Rasor out of a hole when the front end started to click loudlly. After we got him out my brute force drove fine when in two wheel drive. Later in the day I dropped into a hole myself myself and needed the 4 wheel drive but the clicking started again. After I got out I tried driving in 4 wheel but there was not clicking even when turning. Thought maybe u-joint or differential lock? Any ideas?

thanks

hi;

i've got an 06 and i have the same issue, i've not had a problem with my bike in 2 years but the clicking you hear might be what i have noticed.

when in 4wd and going slowly especially over rough terrain the rocking motion, start/stop i get the clicking. More noticeable in low range.

undocumented feature perhaps??

 

forgot to mention, it could also be your drive belt - had that one as well after doing some hard pulling
