Sportsman 1000 Touring Question’s

Just about got the wife talked into a 2017 Sportsman 1000 Touring model and have a few questions. First, do they have the same exhaust issues as the regular 2015-2016 1000’s? Also how is the ride compared to a regular Sportsman? "I have a 2008 800". The dealer tried talking me into a 570 Touring but I’d rather have the 1000’s power for 2 up riding. Any thoughts, suggestions or opinions are appreciated.

1997 Honda TRX 300 engine whine?

I noticed that my TRX300 makes a slight engine noise…hard to explain. It kind of reminds me of a cross between a supercharger whine and a vacuum/air sucking sound. The noise isn’t loud…I’m thinking the 02 Rancher I bought new made the same noise. I’ve looked all over the Internet for one that makes the same sound and the only one that I found was a video that a guy made of a mint condition TRX300 4×4 in which he was just making a video of the cherry he bought. Just wanted to make sure that it was normal and that it doesn’t need serviced. It starts, idles, and runs fine.

2002 Fourtrax ES350 4WD stopped working

So today after I finally motivated myself to take out and clean the carb (was clogged with dirt), now motor runs like a dream.
Decided to take her out for a spin, while climbing the driveway back I head a strange metallic click from under the machine and realized she is not going forward as eagerly and that rear is spinning out. I was able to estabilish that front shaft still spins. Is my front diff toast?
Thanks
