Long time no see. Havnt been on here in a while but plan to stick around a little more.


Fired up the 500 today to run and check on some cattle. Went to back it out and started down the road slowly and got a bad vibe/knock in the motor!! I hurried up and parked it.

man this thing dont have but 400Miles on it. the dealer has done all the servicing and oil changes.

Are there any known problems with these things?? I got it loaded on the truck now and hope to take it to the dealer tomorrow.

how does your oil look? any water in anything it shouldn't be in?

oil looks fine. Dang thing hasnt really been ridden yet. I mean it has but only has 400 something miles on the clock and all of those have been on our land and ive never been in water deeper than the floorboards because we dont have any!

have you had your valves adjusted yet? it'll be a kind of tinging or light knocking in the engine.

Yep suppose to have.

This motor has been really noisy from the git go but I thought it was normal.. and might have been. I do not know.
I just know what I heard today is something ive never heard before and sounded distructive
