Hi I just bought a used 03 Sportsman 700 and have a problem... When I give it the gas there is a clunk both forward and backwards any ideas would greatly help


Thanks,

Pat

 

What do you mean by clunk? Like does it sound like it is from the engine or where?

 

The Sportsman twins have that clunking sound. It is in the clutches. Has something to do with the EBS system I believe

 

I think it is in the Trans if I hold the brake and give it the gas or just give it the gas and move it is one it does it

 

Does it just make a clunk sound or does it make the sound and kind of jerk a little at the same time?

 

just the Clunk

 

Well you cant say without hearing it.But I but il bet its just the clutch every 02 03 sportsman makes the same sound.When I got my 02 700 I went back to the dealer to times with that sound.After you ride it awhile you dont even hear it anymore.some of the guys I ride with ask me all the time whats that clunking sound when I take off.....My moneys on the clutch

 

does it only do it once on take off or everytime?

 

everytime on take off

 

My bet is that it is the driven clutch I have had two different clutch kits in mine.I now have the heel clicker clutch in, before I had the highlifter super duty clutch. I noticed the highlifter clutch was maybe alittle quieter making the clunk sound but it was still there notice I said alittle. The highlifter super duty clutch kit is for sale on ebay if anyone is interested.
