Back with 07 500 efi le from dealer with some minor warranty issue'e taken care of. Dealer said that the clunking noise that I hear is normal. It's the normal lash I guess in the transaxle. I don't like it, though it does not do it all the time. I ride with 4 other POL and they don't make a sound. I had it noted on the invoice so when it's out of warranty next month and my trans blow's, I may have some leg's to stand on.

 

i can tell you that my 800 does it alot more then my 02 500 ever did but so far no problems and havent heard of anyone having any isues w/ it either.

 

Thank's for the positive feedback Sten. I know from all the threads that you have posted that you seem to have alot of experience with Polaris. It's great to have a forum like this so we, inexperienced ATV owner's can find real world people with straight up answer's.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

 

hey guys - are you talkng about a clunking when you are going down hill and no throttle?

 

its more noise form the the drive train form getting on and off the throttle. say you were to have it in gear w/ it off and you push it back in forth until it has restistance. that would be the lash your feeling.

 

hey guys how you making out with this?

I bought my quad 2 weeks ago and i heard it the day i took it home.

i only have 4 hours on the quad.

thanx guys

 

do you mean does it go away completely? no it doesnt but since they all do it not to worry. dealer will say the same thing if you ask them or go talk to them for a peace of mind.

 

Yea, my cuz who just bought an 07' Sportsman 700, is experiencing alot of
clunking noises. I told him it was normal and mine does it too. I haven't NOTED
any patterns yet though, and I haven't noticed it as much as my cousin's 700.
Maybe certain models are worse than others. Will it lighten up after the "break-in
period"?

R'

 

w/ 100 miles on mine it still just as loud as it was new and louder then the 06' was. it may subside a little w/ more break in though. i just ignor the sound lol.

 

My 07 700 has 400 miles on it. The noise hasn't gotten any better or worse. I think I would be concerned if I didn't here it anymore. The 600 I had prior to this one did the same. Usually does at low throttle and descending. Anyone up for the age old clutch question?
