I assume it is not normal to hear a little bit of a squeal (with or without brakes on - it sounds like engine/transmission/clutch related) when slowing down to an almost crawl? I have only heard it when I slow down from 20 Mph plus.

This is a '09 Sportsman 500 HO with 10 miles on it.

 

These clutches work like a snowmobile set-up so with the gas or throttle off............The clutch will grip on the belt and slow the quad down ...With only 10 miles on it .....Your belt didn't even "SEAT" or get broke in yet!!.....Caper,.........
