RTV500 Owners?

[timswi]

Anybody else out there own RTV500's besides me and 737?...

Give us some updates on the idle rattle, did you add any accessories or increase the power?

Give us you opinions on this machine.

I have the 500, added a mirror and work light. I have 50 hrs. on it and no rattle noise, but I do get a "Klunk noise" when I put it in four wheel drive??
First pic the mirror is hard to see. I purchased longer bolts for the ROP's frame brackets.

That 4wd clunk is normal, I think. Probably just the differental locking in.

Glad you dont have the noise. What's tour overall opeinion of it?

Need a rearview mirror for min yet.

Here's mine:

Ok, I got one too. Had it for 3 weeks now and love it. Just what I need for running around the campground and woods.
I also need a mirror. My mother just bought a Club Car and they put some kink of panoramic, sectioned mirror in it that
is slick. I might get one of those and make it fit.

Does your lower windsheld rub on the hood?..I put a cloth shim under mine to prevent that. The windshield rattled like crazy too. Stuffed rubber bumbers where the steel frame was near the rollbar, quieted that down quite a bit.

I like mine too, just wish that rattle wasn't there and it had a little more high range power. Low range is great, runs out of traction before running out of power.

My lower windshield has a rubber slide on piece on it where it sits on the hood. I haven't noticed a rattle anywhere on the windshield. Maybe they changed it?

I have the rubber on mine too. I just didn't like the way it vibrated on the paint, that's why I shimmed it up. I should have sprung for the camo coating, wouldn't need to worry about it, if I really need to worry about it.

Here's mine:

The 4WD clunk is semi-loud but it is normal (front differential engaging).

It appears you and 737pilot are the only people with this idle rattle/noise. I have never heard this noise. Maybe 737pilot will get it fixed by his dealership now that he has taken it in for its 1st service.

Haven't heard from him in a while, hopefully he has an answer. The tech heard mine, said it was normal (don't believe that but...) it seems like he turned the idle up a little. That didn't help either.

Quick question. If you are running in high range at high speed, mainly downhill, and let off the gas completely. Do you hear a really loud clicking sound coming from the tranny until the machine slows down?. Don't know if this is normal, sure doesn't sound like it to me. Just want to make sure that others have this as well. Thanks.
