My husband bought the 2 seat Xpedition for me early this year. There is a vibration which occurs between 5000-6000 rpms whether in low or high range. Polaris mechanics replaced the clutch, greased the drive shaft and then shrugged their shoulders. I really do not want to sound proof the whole cabin. I would rather find the source of the noise and fix it at the origin. Any other ideas?
Love the machine, hate the additional noise between 5000-6000 RPMs

I had the same rattle. My polaris dealership said the grease will last a few miles but it will come back. Then polaris will change out the driveshaft. I guess there is too much space in the driveshaft that causes the rattle. I got mine back rattle is gone. I only have about 25 miles on it after the dealership greased it. Waiting for the noise to come back.

I have the same issue with no resolve yet
2k miles and it comes back pretty quickly after each greasing. If you pop the center console liner out you can see the oscillation and hear the rattle directly in the carrier bearing. Considered having a driveshaft shop balance the prop shaft but was hoping an aftermarket solution would become available.

This issue dates back to some of the early RZRs as well. I'm surprised they haven't been able to come up with a solution for this.

Does it go away when you put it in four wheel drive (not TOTALLY go away, but noticabily less) ?? Sounds like a chain rattling or something along those lines ?
Don’t feel bad I’m on my 2nd drive shaft replacement and the tech at dealership keeps telling me that that Polaris just tells them to replace it until they figure out the problem
Give the driveshalf a good grease job it will go away for awhile.

Sandcrafters will be coming out with a drive shaft and carrier bearing shortly for 2 seaters . Sooner for 4 seaters . I put one of their shafts on my pro xp what a world of difference. No more growling.

Sad part is you gotta pay for that one (Sandcrafters) when Polaris should be fixing problem for free !!!

They took it for a test drive . Took a video with sound sent it to Polaris and they agreed to replace the shaft.

The only problem with that is it still will not have grease fittings on u joints . But glade it fixed your problem.

The price was right and I had already committed to the extended warranty. Stay tuned I suspect the story doesn't end here.
