Hmmmm,,,,,,Is everything tight?????

Not sure how the Carrier is in there......Is there Two Bolts on the Back side of the Swinger to Loosen to get the carrier out????....Is the Axle tight???? Is the Axle Bent???? Were there noises before or did the noises just suddenly happen??? When did you last lube your Bearings???

Seems to me that when the Bearings go bad it wont be just a Sudden "Noise" but rather a Gradual one....Do you see any Rubbing (metal to Metal)anywhere???? Any Cracks in the Swinger itself???

Post up some pictures.....

the noise started after i land a double at the track and the noise has been getting louder the axle isnt bent theres 4 allen head bolts you have to loose to tighten the chain up i tightened the chain up thinking that was the problem b/c it was loose but that wasnt it, i still think its the bearings, i have never greased them b/c theres no fittin to grease them with. theres no rubbing or cracksyou can hear it it coming from inside the housing

Sounds like the bearings, Jack the back off the ground and grab the wheels and try to rock them front to back to check for play. And spin them and see if you can hear or feel any raspyness coming from the carrier

OK if you can't turn the axle by hand then you have found it. Get it fixed QUICK before you ruin a clutch or worse!!!

Sounds like at least one bearing committed suicide, so you wanna get that apart right away! You don't want busted parts floating around in there- if it locks up, it could pitch you into or OVER the bars = NOT GOOD. Hopefully your chain is OK but you may need a new one as well [stretched] if you don't replace it it will ruin your sprockets, then you gotta buy the whole shebang all over again. Get the Manual! you'll need it. sorry about your luck! If you don't have a grease zerk on the swingarm [they are typically underneath on those] I have seen instructions on how/where to install one- a GOOD idea . I'll try and find that post for you.

Tear that puppy apart before it gets any worse. OK? let us know!!! inquiring minds want to know!

Yep sounds like bearings I had to replace mine. I recall kinda the same noise. Mine were totally exploded. I had to buy a new housing.

      2015 Polaris Sportsman Touring XP drivetrain noise
      By warkcol
      I am having an issue where it sounds like the gears are slipping if I hit the throttle really hard and also after letting off when the engine brake is applied. Also, the drive train that goes to the front also rides again the gear shift box. I will attach pictures and a video here shortly.
      Thanks in advance!

      2010 Arctic Cat 500 - Clutch Noise
      By figsbon
      Hey folks, new ATV owner and new to the forum. My 2010 Arctic Cat 500 has a whining or slight grinding noise from the clutch area. It does it when revving in neutral or in gear. It also makes the noise when the atv is off and rolled by hand. Any ideas what parts need to be replaced? Thanks! -Brandon

      2003 Arctic Cat 500 Auto - Clattering Noise
      By Wonderwoman
      Hello, my 500 makes this clattering noise when started and when it warms up (15 min riding or going up a hill) it dies and you can't get it started until it cools off. Usually let it sit for 15 min and it will start back up again. I have torn it apart expecting to see a bad piston/rings/wrist pin etc. but nothing is bad. I did not check the valve clearance before tearing it apart figured that valve clearance wouldn't keep it from starting once warm. Anyway, have taken off both side covers and the clutches. Nothing seems to be worn or obvious. Anyone have any suggestions on what to look for? Would a bad waterpump cause this?

      Tensioning chain (Kawasaki Lakota)
      By Hodadical
      I've recently acquired a 1995 Kawasaki Lakota KEF300A1 that seems to have a pretty slack chain. I've found an owners manual that talks about the procedure to tighten it to spec, but it mentions "inserting a bar provided in the tool kit into the axle housing and turning it upwards/downwards"... the problem is I don't have the tool kit that came originally with the ATV. Its hard to tell from the picture (and not ever having done this before), but it looks as though this "bar" may just be a pry bar/leverage tool. Is that so and I could just use a screwdriver or anything that fits into the hole? or is this a specialty tool and do you know where I can find one?
      Thanks

      2004 Suzuki 700 twin peaks noise
      By Hunsaker Tim
      2004 700 twin peaks 
      When i get to about 10 mph i get a very (tinny ) noise from the right side of the engine / clutch area.
      originally I thought maybe something got caught between axle and skid plate ie : rock and was just rubbing producing that sound.
      I took off the skid plate and drove it and still had same sound.
      Checked the lug nots and they were a bit loose , tightened them and still same noise.
      Took off the what looks like an inspection plate on top of clutch cover and looked inside this apart and it is dry of any fluid.
      Not sure if there should be any fluid in there or not had clutch replaced 2 yrs ago with nominal riding since.
      I do not have the time or knowledge to take this apart and try and diagnose. The only repair areas around here are absolutely terrible.
      The shop I normally do the work are 2.5- 3 mos. behind. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
      Thank, you
