  • Brand New Max-IV screeching issue!

    I just purchased a brand new Max-IV from recreative industries. It has the Kohler 23hp engine, 26" super terra grip tires, roll cage, seat belts, package A, and winch.

    I took delivery last week and within the first 20 minutes of use, the machine began screeching everytime I pulled the right steering handle backwards. Basically, if I'm moving forward and I attempt to turn right by pulling back on the right handle, it let's out a loud metal on metal screeching sound (similar to the sound a car's brake makes when your brake pads have worn out). It does not make this sound when I only pull back on the left handle.

    I thought it would stop after a while, but even after 3-4 hours of use, it's still making this noise.

    - Is this normal? (this is my first aatv)
    - If yes, does it stop at some point?
    - If no, is it something I can address? (with oil or lubrication)

    Any and all help is appreciated.

    thanks,

    Yikes, not normal at all. A little chatter isn't that uncommon, but I'm pretty sure I've experienced the screeching you're referring to. If it's a brand new machine, I'd absolutely call RI up and talk to Jay about it.

      Whew!
      Sounds like the transmission is dry or close to it. Maybe they had a seal leak and didn't check it before it was sold.
