Polaris 700 EFI Clicking Sound

Postby monteman11 » Mon Jun 08, 2009 5:15 am

I am getting a clicking sound out of my 2006 Polaris 700 EFI. It happens goin downhil and at slow speeds, or any time I hit a bump. To me, it sounds like it may be coming from the front prop shaft, and it happens when it is in and out of 4WD. The front shaft does appear to have some play in it (can turn it by hand), where the rear feels tight. Everything else fells tight on the machine from what I can tell.

Maybe it's just the normal sounds coming from the EBS/clutch??

I get the noise on mine if I start going downhill and let off the throttle while doing it, the bike does a little jerky motion and I get the click-click-click from the EBS/clutch. Nothing wrong, completely normal.

I'll have to take her out for a rip tonight and see. The slop in the front shaft has me a little concerned though. Maybe new u-joints?

It really is more like a clunk than just a click, otherwise, I wouldn't be concerned.

Just normal noise. I was concerned with mine at first, but after being around a few, it is typical. It must just be in the gearcase/clutching. My riding buddy doesn't have EBS and his makes the same noise as mine with the EBS.

I've been told I joke around too much.
So one day I tried being serious.

i had a clicking sound on my 99 sportsman might be the same might not but it was the front brake pads hitting the brake disc, i just took the pads out cleaned them put some copper slick in, pop them back in and the clicking went away.
