I know there’s a ton of threads on differential noise but I haven’t seen any with the type of noise I’ve had with my ’15 XP1K. Randomly I’ve had a ratcheting noise that appears & scares me that my diff is about to explode then it goes away as quickly as it started. It sounds like something is partially engaged. It happens after running 4wd for awhile & I’ve flicked the 4wd switch off & back on to no effect. When it makes the noise it will continue while in 2wd. It’s happened while casual trail riding at 10 mph or less so it wasn’t being pushed hard.
I also noticed the RZR seemed to pull to the left when the noise was occurring like something in the driveline was in a bind. I rolled to a stop and put into neutral to see if that would help but it didn’t. I didn’t think about trying reverse at the time.
The differential is quiet most of the time, even when pushed hard riding fast. This will be my first time tearing into one of these so I was hoping to get some advice on what could cause this intermittent ratcheting noise and what to look for.
