Rattling noise on POPO!!

[Mole]

Hey guys. I just bought this bike and when I'm riding through the yard and let off the throttle I hear this rattling sound. Sounds like its right under me coming from the engine. Is this normal with a Polaris or what?? I don't want to mess up anything.

somewhere around your right knee? mine has done it from day one.

yeah that sounds like the right area. I thought it might have something to do with the engine braking or something?? Not really sure.

["Bankrupt"]

its the EBS.

its a one way bearing on the primary that slows the bike down when the drivetrain is turning faster than the motor.

you will also notice a "clunk" in the trans when you let off the gas and the hit it again.




and yes, thats all normal.

[Mole]

Thanks guys. Just wanted to make sure it was normal.

Youre exhaust heat shield may be loose mine comes loose all the time just keep it tight

[Parttime]

i think h said that it was the battery box or something around it maybe a cover

[Wreckit]

x2. Check it, the screws will get lose and rattle like crazy.

I got the little bracket that goes over the top of the battery tight. Now my exhaust heat shield is rattling like crazy!! I guess I'll get Parttime to help me tighten it up since I can't find the bolts or screws that hold it on.:D

[Rebel64]

Just a suggestion, use new screws along with red loktite on the heat shield. Took me a few times to get it right after having the shield off when I attempted to wrap the pipes with that DEI Header Wrap. That was a big waste of $50.

I guess we have all learned Shane that you gotta pay to play.LOL At least those tires ain't got no holes in them though. What happened with the rear brakes?? Busted brake line or what??
