I have the 2019 sportsman premium and I hear a clicking sound once in a while when it has been sitting for awhile and I start to back up. Mine is just a one click and done and it only does it reverse. As far as the U joints goes mine has over 1600 miles (not sure how many hours but it’s over 75) and I haven’t had any issues with them.
My noise in the rear was my rear sway bar bushings at the frame mount. The sound was horrible, grab the rear of the machine and rock it back and forth and maybe yours will also make the same noise
Same thing with my 2020 - have the exact same bike. Told real break in is 75 hours. Never heard that about the U joint??? That is not good to know...I ride alone often.
@@theatvfamily thank you I did install a front bumper because it needed more weight in the front because Every time I went full throttle it kept going like if it was doing wheelies because of its power
I have the same machine with 400 miles going thru this right now… most recent dealer just told me it’s the break caliper. We may have different issues but I agree not acceptable. Unreal for what we pay.
the clicking sound is due to the brake pads being pulled forward and bouncing back, this is due to a very small fit between the pads and the disc. Slightly lubricated the brackets on the brake pads and the sound disappeared. I changed wheel bearings twice before I found out.
@@MichaelWilliams-if4qk The clicking sound only occurs only when you sit on the ATV and drive, do not click if you just push it back and forth on the garage floor. If you try to brake with the brake lever then this clicking sound stops, that's how I managed to find out where the fault was.
I've had the same freaking noise on my new 2020 Polaris sportsman 850. . I took it back they replaced the rear drive shaft and rear diff. Said it had excessive slack. Mine only had 60 miles on it. After 3 rides the noise is back. Pops one time when I press the gas and let off! Took it back they said Polaris tech said it's normal.. I just can't except this !!
no not necessarily a seat belt but a grab bar. the little ones can quite grab the bars to the side. its too much of a wide spread to hold on correctly so we designed the bar to hold on to
I thought I broke something, but it looks like you're having the same issue. However, I did notice that it doesn't make the noise when placing it in neutral and rolling backwards off my trailer.
Nope, and it also wont do it if the wheels are off the ground. I jacked it up to see if i could see where it was coming from. it only does it with a load
the clicking sound is due to the brake pads being pulled forward and bouncing back, this is due to a very small fit between the pads and the disc. Slightly lubricated the brackets on the brake pads and the sound disappeared. I changed wheel bearings twice before I found out. And sound is only with load but not now anymore, it took me 3 years before i found out this.
I have never had an issue with mine 2015 sportsmen XP 1000 with the clicking noise in the back even when it was new, but I will tell you this don't run it threw the mud even if you put a rad kit and snorkel kit on it. Mud destroys the four-wheeler trust me from putting new axles and new bearings and the knuckles and new hubs and brakes after breaks bushings after bushings even a day when I just want to trail ride something would always break and that's because I put it threw the mud before. its not worth it to destroy an expensive machine. Also have gone threw 2 sets of u joints front and back. I hate to tell you when you hit 1000 miles and so on your steering will start to get loose all of the sportsmen' modles get loose and your exhaust seal will start to rot and it will sound like shit. If your wondering your exhaust seal is were it connects from the back of your exhaust to the pipe that goes to the headers. The seal is a silver color. Anyways very nice bike u have.
@@Justin-os2zc there was no rolling. If you watch the video we were doing 5-8 mph and never put the wheeler in a situation to “roll”. But putting a child on the back of a bicycle strapped to a seat isn’t dangerous?
@@theatvfamily I just saw the end where you were showing them and was curious. I’ve never seen them before so just wanted the opinion of someone who’s used them. I don’t think so, I mean a bicycle doesn’t weigh a couple hundred pounds.
@@Justin-os2zc no danger at all. No more than a bicycle as mentioned. weight is not a factor. Two wheels if it falls is a direct fall to concrete and more and likely heads hitting first which seems pretty dangerous at that same 5 mph. Rather than 4 wheels in dirt or sand at same speeds. I would say it’s a lot safer honestly. But they worked great no issues
I have a brand new 2021 sportsman 570 making the same noise but louder. Coasting downhill on gravel sounds like the trans/rear diff is going to fall out, and that is with a helmet on. Dealer told me its drive line slap, and said its normal. I'm pretty pissed that a 7K dollar brand new ATV sounds like this.
The ATV Family Channel no, based on internet searching I found most folks said it was normal. I find it happens most on high traction surfaces like pavement. Not an issue in loose earth. I believe it is driveline binding.
@@theatvfamily not sure f you figured this out, but on mine it ended up being the axle. Troubleshooting video here. ua-cam.com/video/TY1YMBa6HDc/v-deo.html
@@brodyryan2519 Yeah seems to be a Polaris thing. Not that can am is any better. Lol. We got a RMaxx 1000 sxs. And I’m looking into a scrambler or renegade to replace the sportsman.

yeah im not buying that explanation personally but....
I had an issue with mine as well. I had a tear in my boot and it damaged my left axle/bearings. So I replaced the axle and no more clicking.
no this isnt that. i know what you are referring to and i had that happen on the can am. this is a different issue
Hey my brother just bought the same 2020 sportsman 1000 trail package like 2 weeks ago and what are some suggestions to do to it?
Really there’s not much. It has almost everything you need. Maybe front bumper and some skid plates. If you ride hard then get shocks for sure
@@theatvfamily thank you I did install a front bumper because it needed more weight in the front because Every time I went full throttle it kept going like if it was doing wheelies because of its power

Yeah mine was definitely not the brake caliper. It was something in the rear end but I got rid of the machine. I traded it for a RMaxx sxs
Did you trade this in at sky powersports in port richy? Looked at it today. Kinda skeptical now
LOL Yep. Thats mine

Did it pop also when you let off

Hello how is it going, did the problem go away when u follow my advise about this noise ?

Yep, which is the one of a few reasons I traded it in.
My Polaris does it to but I have an 800 Sportsman.
What's the purpose of that bar? Is it like a seatbelt?

Do you think those bars at the back are dangerous if you roll it or they need to jump off

i know i felt the same. I traded mine in. Got an Rmax SXS
Mine does it too. 2019 1000 Xp. Also did not do it when new.
hmmmm, interesting. Did you take it in?

@@csuyou Yeah mine only did it one time when moving in reverse. It wouldn’t continue the noise. I traded it in on an RMax 1000
My buddies did the same thing.. Ended up being the belt! I couldnt believe it
No definitely not the belt. It’s metal on metal in the diff. Common issue on the sportsman’s. I traded it in anyway

Just bought a 23 1000 just turned 25 hours no problems yet but kinda worried now
@@Themagalorian my brother bought one too. His is now doing the same thing as well.
My trail package clicks in reverse too I thought it was a cv axle going
yeah exactly! have you taken it in?
@@theatvfamily yeah for one way bearing issues and they replaced one of the rear axles. Still makes the same noise
I have the same thing
Mine does not click.! 2022 polaris sportsman 1000 le
It will. Common issue on most all sportsmans.
Did the u joint break?
Nope
I just got a new highlifter and it does the same thing
Yep a Polaris thing like the HEMI tap
Good to know I was worried when I heard it .I just got back from my first ride on it
I have the same problem
