sounds like your hubs are engaging. I'm not really familiar with your atv but if it has wet hubs when was the last time you changed the fluid?

i just bought this atv, so not sure when it was last changed. i noticed to that the iner cv joints are really bad, would they cause this? i don't really think it would seeing as how it is in 2 wheel drive, but i don't know much about it

the joints on the axle are bad, i read on here somewhere that there is some kind of fluid you can put in the hubs to clean them first before you put the hub fluid in. is this true?
