CVT strange noise

Hi All, some weeks ago I fired up my 660 and was prepping for a ride warming up in neutral wen I noticed a strange noise coming from CVT area. Gone on idle, just picked up with revs, Kind of not quite a grinding or a whining, more like something, maybe the belt, rubbing harshly against something. I put the boy away planning to take a look later.

Then yesterday I got my toolkit out, fired up and… no noise! I rode about a bit and then let it stand for a few hours. Fired up again and lo, the noise is there again, ascending as you rev still in neutral.

I removed the cover, and nothing looks amiss. Belt is fine. Fired up, and the noise is there but not easy to figure if its from the driving or driven side.

Any eternal wisdom out there?

How to get to the radiator?

Hi People,

I am a compete noob to this forum. I tried to search for the question to avoid asking it twice. So here is my question.
I was hauling my nice shiny new Rancher home after a ride when it started hailing. I didn’t think of pulling over as the hail balls were small. I got home inspected the bike it all looked fine until I was washing the machine and I noticed the hail balls had gotten through my radiator grill and made a few dents in the rad I’m probably being obsessive about it. It’s probably less than 5% surface area but I would like to get to my radiator with a tweezer and straighten out those fins lol. How do I get to my radiator exactly? I’d appreciate a detail response. Thanks so much.:)

Polaris Beats Can-Am Again?

Just seen the 2017 Polaris RZR 1000 Turbo with 168HP. Didn’t take them long to release a new one after Can-Am did. Looks like they’ve got a new all digital gauge as well. While they may have them beat in horsepower I think Polaris really needs to do some updating on there fit and finish for 2018. This needs to be done across the entire line just not the side by side line, whats everyone elses thought?

2015 ETX only model year.

I paid 5400.00 for mine. About to ride it tomorrow. Trying to figure out why they stopped making the ETX after the 2015 model. Was it that the 570 was only a bit more? Guess that’s why it was 4800 before taxes and the other dealer fees. I couldn’t pass it knowing its 4×4 and fuel injected. Payed a couple hundred more than my Honda Recon ES 250. If I could have gotten the ETX in 2014 at the same price, as today, I wouldn’t have bought the Recon.
