Clunk discussion

mine clunks real bad not good when you got people riding with u and they are like whats wrong with this thing?
Mine drove me frickin nuts, I was discouraged to the point of considering changing machines.
Maybe I was lucky or just done the Loctite bandage correctly but mine has been silent for months, maybe 50 hours on the clock.
 
Yep. It was. I don’t think of it as an issue any more.

I hate to here it on the 2025 model. Was hoping polaris was aware of this issue and found out what is really the problem.
I really enjoy the 1500 and don’t know what I would do without it now. For the cost of machine this needs to fixed under warranty. I’m assuming this may effect 25% of the 1500.

Just one reported here,,,,,,,,so far

I promise they are aware.
Do they care,,,,,yes, these situations put a poor light on them.
Do they care enough to do the right thing? I doubt it. If it was a safety issue they would be all over it but due to the fact there is a small percentage of us AND it is an issue many just decided to live with I wouldn't get your hopes too high.

Agreed, loving ours as well.

Yup, at the price point we all paid they have no excuse to betray us on this matter.

I think it is 10-15% but am guessing.
 
I purchased my 1500 xd ultimate crew in June, and it's been making the suspension noise since I received it. then not long after, it has the rolling clunk like a u-joint is out. I figured I better look into it before my warranty runs out, and I noticed this thread. I am going to the dealer this week to report it.
 
Looked like in the video yours makes the noise even when not in motion. Which leads me to believe it’s something motor related? Mine only clunks when I let off the throttle and then press it back down.
 
I had my friend record it
I don't have the axle "clunk" so I'm no expert as to what it sounds like. That said my understanding is that it occurs when you're moving and you get on or off the gas as Mr.C said above. That video shows a noise when you are sitting still and seems to pick up pace when you rev the engine. Once again, I tend to agree with Mr.C I think you have a motor problem that I would have looked at IMMEDIATELY.

Is it possible the rear wheels were off the ground?

I think he has the rear wheels off the ground.

Ya, I guess it’s possible. It just looked like it the ranger was moving in the beginning of the video, then stationary. I didn’t see it get raised up at all.

Yea, it really isn't clear the rear tires are suspended but the noise is definitely rotational and much slower than the speed of the engine so I just assumed he is sitting on a jack.
 
That is louder than mine was but I done the LocTite bandage withing a few weeks of it starting.
I could clearly tell mine was on the outer end of the left axle. As loud as yours is it may be a cv joint.
Keep us posted !
Talked to the dealer and he said he couldn't do anything for the front suspension noise or the rotating noise. He said Polaris hasn't come up with anything besides the loctite fix and that's a bandage. So I will try and find a tech line to Polaris and put in my bitch.
