Noise from rear end

It seems I have heard of brake noise in this style of brake somewhere, but I don't know if it was a service tech at the dealer when I bought my machine or somewhere else.

I have a clunking noise coming from the rear end. Could it be the sealed rear brake? Has anyone else experenced this noise. I am coming off a 09 grizzly 700, never noticed this noise on it. It also had 4 wheel disc brakes.

Can you pinpoint the noise coming from the sealed brake ? Does the noise change or goes away when you apply the rear brake?

Did you lifted the rear end and check the CV joints and the wheel bearings? Those are the usual culprits in "clunking" noises.And check for debris -sticks and the likes
I didn't experience nor I heard reports of any noise or problems with the rear sealed brake.My only complain is the lack of "bite" when you use it, it's a soft stop instead of locking the wheels up.

I checked cv and wheel bearings, seem fine. The noise is not consistent, i notice it when first taking off or backing up. Just turned 140 miles. I'll keep an eye on it and report if i find something. Overall i love this better than my 09 grizzly 700. Lower to the ground = better handling. Also i bought the thicker 16 grizzly seat, more comfort. Plus its quieter than the 09 which i like very much!

ive thought of buying the grizzly's seat, how much did it set you back?

I think for that reason and some others the Grizzly was used a lot in comparisons.

Seat was 130.00 from rocky mt. Go to their OEM section for yamaha parts. Would highly recommend.

lol im guessing your in the states, im in canada so its probably gonna be like 200+ $

You might have a chance getting it for a big cheaper with the holidays coming around, that's if your willing to wait any longer.

Blown already?

I took the rear diff out completely and got it all apart i need to order the bearings and seal kit but i dont know how to get the ring with the hex head bolts in it off it holds the pinion gear in place any ideas would help thanks

Mine makes some noise coming from somewhere in/near the rear end too. It consistently happens whenever I jump it or it can randomly happen when switching from drive to reverse. When I jump it, it sounds like there is play in the driveshaft and it is loading/unloading (back and fourth play.) It is kind of strange to me and since it only consistently happens while jumping it is really hard to diagnose.
