I have a new 700 X2 and when I switch into the turf mode I here noises from the gear boxs. Dealer says is ok but just trying to find out more. I understand you will get some noise at first but sometimes it will lasts a good 20 to 25 feet. Is this what it should be or no. any input would be good thanks.

 

In turf mode one wheel freewheels in rear, can jerk,designed to not to tear up terrain

 

I hate these gearbox/transmission noises. Gear lash is normal, but I've never read of anyone complaining of noises when in turf mode. I'd say that it shouldn't make noises like that, but I don't have turf mode so nothing to compare it to. Maybe someone with turf mode can chime in.

 

No noises with mine. There is a clunk when I switch to turf mode. I believe it is a solenoid that is switching.
