180 Miles this weekend. Power is great. Handling is workable. Suspension soaks up the rough stuff. But what the heck is that noise? Only at lower speeds, I fell a large slamming in the rear skid. I can't seem to isolate it. Also, its feels very jumpy when trying to creep along. Nothing seems to be catching or getting caught up. Track was alittle tight so I let it out abit, but seemed to make no difference. Any one expierence ant thing similar?

Check for a Broken W arm along the welds can be hard to spot

It s the transfer rods in the rear of the skid. Totally normal, for the very low speed with bumps action. Mine did the same thing. Thought it was a busted shock.

It's the transfer rods clicking back and forth as the skid goes over the top of small moguls (at low speeds). This drives me crazy on my Warrior too.
I attribute that jumpy feeling when creeping along to the fact that these sleds have about 4 times the torque at 5000 rpm than any two stroke. I know what your talking about....... my kids have a Mini-Z that we take on some pretty long rides (btw, I've never overheated when crawling along at 10 mph.... sometimes for more than 1/2 hr.)
