Yeah thats weird because my motor sounds just like the one in the video and has since I've had it. And the noise it there at idle but when I give it throttle the noise seems to get quieter.

I changed the oil and filter this afternoon and put about an hour on it. the noise seems to have gone away. Hopefully this is the end of it. Does anybody think that I should have further concern?

I bought the Polaris oil kit. That includes engine, tranny, diff oils and filters. So, it is factory Polaris synthetic.

Maybe it was just time for an oil change. Did the guy you bought the atv from change the oil regularly?

It doesn't look like it. Hopefully that solves it.

By the way does anybody have a set of 27" tires for sale?
