Knocking while driving 09 Grizzly 700
I have a 2009 Grizzly 700, been driving it for about 300km now (has about 5700km ~220 hours)
I noticed a knocking sound and feel coming from the clutch cover while i’m underway. Does not seem to knock when i’m at idle. I do have the cold start knocking that goes away 30 sec to 2 min depending on how cold it is)
It’s hard to describe exactly, did not have a chance to record it, sadly. It seems while under acceleration, smooth or hard, especially when i have been riding for a while, sounds like a rattling , non-metallic. I feel it if i put my feet on the cover.
Engine seems to run perfecly fine, no oil consumption, no odd noises except for this knocking/rattle.
I am currently removing the primary to replace the rollers with 660 ones, adding a 1mm shim and re-greasing everything. Should i also replace the one way bearing? Engine braking seems to be doing its job… Any clues of what the problem could be? Anything to look out for?
Thanks!

Riding to the Copper Creek mine ruins in AZ on our Hondas…
Yesterday me and my buddy from Tucson we on an awesome 30-mile ride through the mine ruins at Copper Creek, Arizona. Some of the ruins can be seen in the video footage. I was on my new 2016 Honda Rancher 420 4×4 DCT EPS, 300 miles on odometer. He was on his 1997 Honda Foreman 400 4×4 with 13,600+ miles on the ODO. Here is a link to the video.

04 Rubicon 500 carb choke
Started my bike yesterday(with the choke, it was about 2C), and it seemed to be idling a little higher than usual. Turns out the choke was sticking. Ordered a new cable but when I got to the bike to repair it, turns out I need more than just a cable.
The choke mechanism itself is broken at the top, where it would connect to the cable. The cable broke right where it screws into the carb also. Does Honda just sell the choke mechanism or am I gonna be looking at an entire new carb here?
Also looking for tips on cleaning where the mechanism sits in the carb. Some dirt got bumped in there in the midst of cleaning and removing the broken choke. I guess carb cleaner or a squirt of WD40?
Thanks!
