I had a noise start after 100km in the rear end where on uneven surfaces and terrain, I get a clunking sound. It happens more at slow crawls through rocky terrain, but I get it it at speeds too. Is it normal to hear little clunk type sounds? I haven’t had an atv for many years and anything I drove was chain driven, so the Outlander is a new beast for me.
Another noise was something in the belt area that made a similar noise when letting off the throttle sometimes. It’s done that since brand new.
Secondly, how deep can it go in water before I can do damage? I pulled off the plastic up in front of the handlebars and I see 4 hoses and the main air intake inside. Is there anything else on the machine that I need to be concerned about aside from the exhaust?
