Grizzly 660 owners I have a question for you........

[2000AlaskanDC]

I just bought a 2002 Grizzly 660 with 800 miles on it. When the 4 wheeler is in park or neutral you can give it gas and engage the clutch you can hear a "noise" coming from the belt/crankcase area. It doesnt sound like a super bad bearing or anything, just a noticable noise coming from in that area, I guess Im just asking to see if maybe this is normal or just a belt noise or something. Oh and is the transfer case area the same oil as the engine oil? Thanks in advance !!

Perfectly normal, the belt clutch is always engaged, the centrifugal clutch always the motor to idle. When in park or neutral and revving the engine, what you are hearing is the belt clutches working, allowing the belt to move up and down varying the ratio.

The transmission and engine use the same oil. It does have a front differential and rear gear box also, both having their own gear oil.

Have fun with your new wheeler!

Thank you for the reply.. I was thinking/hoping it was just that. My other 4 wheeler is a Polaris 500 HO and I dont notice that noise on it. But I know they arnt set up the same. Good to know about the engine oil too. Thanks Again
