Hey
ok dad has a 2011 sportsman 500ho bought it with .8 hours on it it had been used just sitting guy never got a chance to use it as he died the day it was delivered…anyway dad used it for a few rides here and there works great after a few rides we noticed a "slapping" or knocking noise coming from the left side of the bike put my hand on the belt cover and lone be hold could feel it sooo I removed belt cover and found a……perfectly good looking belt ……well what in the hell is that noise then ???? after further examination of the belt cover on the inside I could see where the belt was slapping the cover, so I installed a new belt put it all back together ran on multiple rides and it is perfectly fine! But the other day it started doing it again why is this happening is my question here?
Any one ever run into this problem ? Thanks
