primary clutch knocking and sqeaking.

My primary clutch makes a fairly loud knocking noise at idle and on shutdown, with the belt cover off it is extremely loud. After a awhile of driving it will sometimes sqeak/sqeal time to time. While driving it doesn’t seem very noisy at all.
It can be a little jerky on takeoff but nothing extreme, it also likes to grind changing gears often. Otherwise it performs fine.

Does it sound rebuildable or better off the order a new one. Also by my mod list is there anything different then a bone stock primary to help the 800 out a lil more.

BTW my secondary seems fine for now so I’d like to save some money and leave it alone for now.

Post Your Ride Videos

Thought I’d post up a video of some of the riding we do up here in Central Canada. This video is from about 60 miles north of Winnipeg, Manitoba.

My ride is a 2014 RZR 800 S EPS White Lightning LE. We did this ride last Saturday. I’m trying to convince myself that my mudding days are over but old habits die hard !!

If you’ve got a video of the areas you ride, post them up !!

For now, crank it up and enjoy the video !!

2012 800 RZR S – Rear Diff Failure

Just 2k miles on it, recent fluid change and inspection. Never abused. Headed for Arizona for some riding with local folks. Started on on an easy 100 mile loop….70 miles into ride, and in 2-wheel drive, I was stopped and when I took off all kinds of clatter from rear of RZR. Got out and noticed diff fluid on ground. Rode out to access in front wheel drive (4X4). Had to get ride forty miles back to truck. Took it in to local RZR dealer (Sun Valley, AZ) and showed him the damage (pinion gear head sticking out of bottom of diff.) Bearing failed. He said the rear diff’s were back ordered from the manufacturer and he would not get it till early June. This was on May 6th. Left it there for the extended warranty work. Will continue on my long trip and get back to Sun City area in Mid June to pick it up, hopefully. :rm_thumbdown:
