I just bought a 2011 Sportsman HO and took it out for the first time. When I decelerate I hear this weird sound and the best I can describe it is like a popping/slapping sound. It’s kind of like when the center bushing on a two-piece drive shaft is worn out and the shaft hits against the outer ring of the support. That’s the best way I can describe it.

I have tried walking along side the machine while someone was riding to see if I can locate the noise. I checked all the drive/steering linkage and that all seems to be in order.

Anyone have an idea of what I might look for?

Thanks
