I just upgraded from a 2006 Sportsman 800 EFI to a 2015 Sportsman XP 1000. The quad has just over 80 hours on it.
When I test drove it on dirt, it seemed like it started revving up too much before the drive train engaged (Around 2250 rpm). It wasn’t that bad. When I got it home, the revving and delay on engaging was more prevalent in the concrete driveway. Additionally, there was a slight clunk coming from the rear end, and it would surge a bit after the clunk hit… like it was locking into gear. I don’t hear any grinding and all the bearings seem tight on the Diff.
I know they are belt driven, and have two variable pullies that give you your speed. What I don’t know is what might be causing this issue. Any ideas?
Second issue I am having is that when I am up at speed, it seems like it is pushing to the right. Do you think the drive train issues I am having are causing this push, or is it a separate problem?
Was riding my ATV fine all day, then for some reason unknown to me it died. Started it up fine and it idled no problem. But when I applied the throttle it would choke and die. Tried several times and same thing. What would be causing this?
Just purchased used ATV, worked fine for awhile. Then on a day of trail riding it just went dead. No cranking, no lights, not even the neutral light. I charged the battery and everything seem to be fine for awhile and then dead again. I am assuming what ever is charging the battery has failed. Being new to ATV, like last week. Don’t know the make up of what this part would be called so I can replace it. On a car it’s called an alternator, what is it called on an ATV?

Just seeing who’s making the journey up to beautiful NH for this festival. It is Sept 23 and 24. If you’ve never ridden up here you should come check it out. This event is supposed to bring 10 to 12000 people. Look for me on my 2016 Renegade 100 xxc digital camo with green halos. I’ll be the guy passing the polaris’ WOT!!!
