Does anyone elses kodiak make noise from the clutch. Mines always dont it but it's a loud rattling noise. This is my first Yamaha is this common? It's very annoying

 

[TRW]

No it is not common. Tell us more about what Kodiak you have.

 

[Jjack88]

It's a base model 2019 700. I have weights, secondary, and shim in but the noise was there before that

 

[TRW]

I would have to hear it, but is it under warranty? That might be the place to start. Go test drive a new one, see how it sounds.

 

[KodiakAfishyo]

It is not normal. Definitely take it in if it’s still under warranty

You may get some grief from the dealer with the shims and springs in it.

It is not a good idea to start modding a vehicle that is under warranty.

Dealers look at anything to void the warranty where it isn't stock

I didn't buy a extended warranty and I've owned it almost a year. I think it only had a 6 month? I here CVT clutches are louder then others but idk. I'll try and get a video tomorrow

I think Ive heard people mention something to do with the foot brake rattling aswell. Worth a look

 

[TRW]

You indicated it has always done this, but I assume it is a bit worse now, as you did not ask about it before? I would say mine makes no noise, a bit yes, but nothing noticeable. The video should be interesting.

 

[Jjack88]

ill post a vid for you guys. I contacted my dealer right away and they said Yamaha is noisy in the clutch but they will look. I never brought it in because i use in all the time around the house and i haven't had any issues

 

[TRW]

It will be interesting to hear the video, but sad that the dealer rep said they are noisy. If you ask all the readers on here, no one would say they are noisy, so they are not!

What was the outcome of this issue?

 

[TRW]

I think we can assume he went deaf and does not hear the noise anymore! Would be nice to get some resolution!

Clutch has always been noisy on my Grizzly too. When I first baught it I thought I had a bad connecting rod bearing. It's that noticible!!!!!

That was 9000 kms ago. Bike still runs like new with currently 13 000 kms and 600 hrs

Vincent, is that sound a knocking sound? I have no noise on my 700 Kodiak, no whine or anything.

Yup knocking noise.

 

[KodiakAfishyo]

I have zero knocking noise, just light whine when decelerating from high speed only, which is just the engine breaking sound from the CVT belt.

has described this just like I would, but mine is very quiet. I had a friend comment on how quite mine was, but this is my second 700 Kodiak and both were the same.
