Rattle noise

Usually a good greasing of the yoke will fix the issue, there is a hole in the skid plate to get to the grease zerk.

It’s absolutely the driveshaft - I installed an aftermarket one and don’t have the rattle now. Open your center console and pop out the inner console box. Have someone drive you at 5500 rpm you can hear the rattle come directly from the carrier bearing area.

It,s the drive shaft, if you grease it will go away for a short time, there is a grease zero by the carrier bearing.

I have a rattle noise around 5500 rpm. Goes away after 6000. Sounds like heat/exhaust shield. Can’t find anything loose. Any one else having issues. XP 2 seater. Thanks

I had the same rattle, the dealer ship greased it and I rode for a few hundred miles, and the noise is back. I will take it in shortly and see what they are going to do this time. He told me another guy had this issue and they replaced the prop shaft on his through polaris warranty. Hoping they will do the same for me.

I’m aware of the grease zerk. Mine got to the point that grease did nothing for the rattle. My machine also gets used daily so greasing before every ride wasn’t practical.

I'm experiencing the same issue. 2025 xp 2 seat. Polaris have a fix for this yet? Noise is getting g annoying and greasing the slip yoke does nothing .

I had the dealership put the new updated prop shaft on under warranty. It lasted about 100 miles and now it is back. It sounds like shit. You can hear an Xpedition coming down the trails from that rattle.

I talked with polaris customer care today and lodged my complaint about this. Everyone that is dissatisfied with this needs to call polaris and complain. Nothing will come of it if we don't. They've already admitted to having a problem by replacing some of the driveshafts with the updated one. Mine came with the updated version and it makes noise.
