I bought a used Axis 500 2021 model. It makes a clanking noise when I am going down hill idling. It feels like it is trying to downshift without the clutch pushed in. I am new to this and to this group. I just need to know what to look for.

thanks

If the clanking's a metallic sound, I'd be checking the axle's universals I think. If it's something like a uj it would sound quite clear, but if it was in the gearbox then it would be a bit muffled and in a different direction. If it was trying to jump gears, having a hand on the gear change might give some indication.. it would jump.

You should be able to identify where the sounds coming from a bit better if you lean and/or turn towards all four corners or the drive belt/transmission as it's making the noise. Perhaps get someone else to drive while you clamber around and lean over the sides..haha.. It's what mechanics do..

Given the "clanking" description I'd check out metal to metal contacts before taking the belt covers off. I haven't had much experience with belt drives though and Gw may know they can make quite clanking noises..

TonyWright-did you ever confirm specifically what the issue was?  I have a 1 year old Axis 500 that seems like it is having the same issue.  Engine makes a rattling noise when coasting downhill (no throttle).  87 hours on the machine-I changed the oil and filter around 50 hours as recommended with oil for wet clutch.  This is my third issue with the machine...already replaced driveshaft and fuel injector...really frustrated

      Clutch engagement RPM on 2021 Cforce 400s
      By sunn
      The clutch engagement on my 2021 cforce 400s was approx 2700 RPM, very abrupt/not smooth.   I obtained a "kit" from RNG consisting of a blue painted spring (spring force unknown) with 12 gram weights, as measured on my postal scale.  Installation was easy; 18 mm and 30 mm (not 32 mm as seen on other writings) impact sockets for clutch housing removal.  The resultant clutch engagement was still up to approx 2500 and very abupt/not smooth.
       The original spring was labeled p/n 0951-1021 (specs for spring force 300/1600) with 18 gram weights.
      I called RNG who told me the kit should work fine for my ATV, but that wasn't the case as I found.  
      The RNG spring was slightly longer than the stock spring, but felt slightly easier at initial downward force but had more resistance than stock as I continued to push down.  RNG would not tell me what the spring force was.
      I then tested the clutch with the RNG spring and the OEM 18 gram weights with the resultant engagement RPM of about 2050 RPM, a little smoother engagement but still not good.
      I am really struggling to get any answers on the best combination of spring / weights to achieve a smooth engagement of maybe 1800 RPM.  Note; idle RPM is approx. 1600.
      I have searched all the forums and cannot find good information, and RNG appears to be not willing to share information.  What gives here?  Anyone with experience to share?

      2008 Brute Force 650, clutch is slow to engage
      By Coyote251
      I'm trying to help a buddy out with his bike (he's not really on the internet or familiar with these forums) and I'll admit that I am not super familiar with the transmission and clutches in these bikes. I owned a Brute a few years ago, but never had an issue like this that I had to troubleshoot.
      So basically my buddy bought a group lot of 650's to build one good bike out of. He got it all put together and has it running but when he pushes on the throttle the clutch doesn't engage till the RPM's are quite high and even when its moving it doesn't really speed up, almost seems like its in "limp mode". He's tried 2 different transmissions so I don't think that's the problem. 
      Is there any adjustment on the clutch engagement? Anything else I can tell him to look at? Let me know if you need anymore information if you think you can help.

      2001 Kodiak clunking noise.
      By jannonballs
      2001 Yamaha Kodiak. Rebuilt and cleaned carb after sitting for 10 years. Got her runnin but now this clunking noise is happening and sometimes the engine stalls hard like the tranny or clutch abruptly stops the engine. This was not happening 10 years ago. Also the clunk will happen and the rpm's spike. See video. Any ideas before I tear into it?
