I recently (4 wks) bought a low hr., low mile Scrambler 850 XP. This weekend was the first opportunity I have had to ride, and went to central PA. For the most part, the quad was great, but almost immediately I noticed a clunking noise from the front end, especially when decelerating down a bumpy hill. I hardly used AWD, so I am sure that this happened when it was in 2WD. If I was feathering the throttle, and braking at the same time, it almost stopped. It is almost like it could be the engine brake, but it is a very loud metal on metal slap. When the four wheeler is stopped, and I spin the front driveshaft by hand, I can almost replicate the sound, but obviously much quieter. There is a thread on this that was started in 6/2014, but it died out. I am very curious to know what the noise might be. I have checked bearings and bushings, and everything is pretty tight. I rode 86 mi on Saturday, and rode pretty hard. The noise never really got worse, but became more common as the ride went on. Any input would be greatly appreciated – I am hoping to get to Hatfield McCoy in two weeks, and the noise makes me nervous.
