Guys,

When I'm driving my bike along in second or third gear I get a slight shudder and a type of crunchy sound. The sound appears when I first enter second or third while the most load is on the drivetrain. Once the bike gets up to the new speed it goes away.

The oil and filter have been changed and its still occuring. I'm suspecting clutch troubles, mabey worn plates or a bad bearing. I'm not too used to diagnosing atv's so I'm not sure what a failing clutch, transmission, rearend or driveshaft sounds like. Suggestions appricated.

Thanks

 

Anyone even have a guess?
