ok, so, i started my 800 up today and i was going to take it out for a ride. it started makeing this weird tumbleing noise like metal against metal when i was driving it, i slapped the gas tank and it stopped. then me and my buddy went out into the feilds and it was doing it REALLY bad. i put it in nutral and reved the motor and i couldent hear anything obscure. i put it in reverse and brought it up to about 30mph and i couldent hear anything different. so i dont think its the motor and i dont think its the belt shreading. theres no check engine lights and all the fluids are good. im just stumped. if i cant figure it out im takeing it to the dealer saterday. it makes me mad, im sure its not gonna fall apart or anything, but i prefer not to ride it :/

 

anyone think they know what the problem is?

 

check and see if theres anything loose under the quad thats rattling against the fuel tank

 

Is it still under warrenty? Take it to them and let them deal with it

 

theres nothing dragging or rattleing, its like raw metal rubbing against metal

 

There have been some tranny issues on the 800 call polaris with your Vin and check for recall.I saw one with 7 miles and the tranny was gone BOOM parts everywhere and the shaft out of the side of the aluminum casing.TAKE TO DEALER ASAP.

 

thanks mudlover

 

you guys arnt gonna belive it. so i take my quad to the shop this afternoon and it turns out that a bolt came off of my heat sheild right under my seat and it was rattleing away. i feel so stupid. i totaly over looked it when i first thought it was the engine like a baffle came out or something, and i put it in nutral to see what it was and it didnt make the sound again. but hey, atleast they fixed it for free and i got to take it home.

 

Thats great news bud, now get out and GIVVER
