Should the cover of an auto trans/belt
be hot to the touch? Mine is past warm with
hill use. Not hot enough to burn your hand,
but very warm. Is that normal?

Should I be worried about a chatter type sound when decelerating or going down
hill. Not real loud or annoying, but it
just does not sound right. Is it normal
with a belt drive auto trans?

I had a similar problem with my SP500. Both the heat and noise problems that you are having is because your PVT cover has been steppen on-most possibly by a small child attemting to mount on the seat. If your are lucky enough you can bend the cover back to normal with a low-heat torch. If there is damage on the cover, it is best that you get a new one, around $50. Good Luck!

 

Thank you. I had seen previous warnings
about not stepping on the cover...
I have had this quad for a month now.
I think it had good care, but stepping on
that cover is easy to do. I know I have
avoided it but who knows what happened before
I bought it. Thanks again.
