It is the heat shield, my 08 rattled and squeaked like crazy when I bout mine. I would tell the dealer about it because it seems like all the new ones do it and Polaris needs to address the problem. The heat shield is more than one piece and held by pop rivets and they work loose and rattle-squeak.</end quote></div>
I plan to find my rattle as soon as i can mess with it. I injured my shoulder awhile back and it is acting up again so I don't much feel like messing with it. If it is the heat sheilds i'll probably drill out the rivets and use some small bolts and nuts. I will let my dealer know about it so he can note it in Polaris' online warranty system like he did when my brand new ATV only had 2oz. of fluid in the rear differential.
