chitter chatter

hi all.. do you guys get an awful chatter when braking and going downhill?
my new 570 does and it sounds like shit. maybe someone has some knowledge on this…maybe something loose? 288 miles and brake pads are still good

any help is appreciated;)

1994 Wheel size

I’m sure it’s a common problem on these old sportsmans with the 10" wheel on the back finding tires to fit. the tire size is a 25×12-10 which isn’t common at all. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to find tires easier, whether it be buying rear wheels in a 12" size or a recommendation on tires? I hate to pay $90+ for tires that I don’t even really like.
Thanks

Got a New ride

Well I have been a member for several years now and yesterday I stopped by the Can-Am and Polaris dealer in town and looked at some new rides. I wound up trading in my 2012 500 touring and got a new 2016 Can-Am XMR 850. Got a sweet trade in price and got a huge discount on the new machine. They beat the price on a 850 highlighter edition. I am moving to Tennessee in September so wanted to get a mud riding machine.
