My noise in the rear was my rear sway bar bushings at the frame mount. The sound was horrible, grab the rear of the machine and rock it back and forth and maybe yours will also make the same noise

Same thing with my 2020 - have the exact same bike. Told real break in is 75 hours. Never heard that about the U joint??? That is not good to know...I ride alone often.

yeah im not buying that explanation personally but....

My Polaris does it to but I have an 800 Sportsman.

I have the same machine with 400 miles going thru this right now… most recent dealer just told me it’s the break caliper. We may have different issues but I agree not acceptable. Unreal for what we pay.

Yeah mine was definitely not the brake caliper. It was something in the rear end but I got rid of the machine. I traded it for a RMaxx sxs

I have the 2019 sportsman premium and I hear a clicking sound once in a while when it has been sitting for awhile and I start to back up. Mine is just a one click and done and it only does it reverse. As far as the U joints goes mine has over 1600 miles (not sure how many hours but it’s over 75) and I haven’t had any issues with them.

I checked and I have 142 hours and no issues with u-joints.

I had an issue with mine as well. I had a tear in my boot and it damaged my left axle/bearings. So I replaced the axle and no more clicking.

LOL Yep. Thats mine

I have never had an issue with mine 2015 sportsmen XP 1000 with the clicking noise in the back even when it was new, but I will tell you this don't run it threw the mud even if you put a rad kit and snorkel kit on it. Mud destroys the four-wheeler trust me from putting new axles and new bearings and the knuckles and new hubs and brakes after breaks bushings after bushings even a day when I just want to trail ride something would always break and that's because I put it threw the mud before. its not worth it to destroy an expensive machine. Also have gone threw 2 sets of u joints front and back. I hate to tell you when you hit 1000 miles and so on your steering will start to get loose all of the sportsmen' modles get loose and your exhaust seal will start to rot and it will sound like shit. If your wondering your exhaust seal is were it connects from the back of your exhaust to the pipe that goes to the headers. The seal is a silver color. Anyways very nice bike u have.

Hey my brother just bought the same 2020 sportsman 1000 trail package like 2 weeks ago and what are some suggestions to do to it?

@@theatvfamily thank you I did install a front bumper because it needed more weight in the front because Every time I went full throttle it kept going like if it was doing wheelies because of its power

the clicking sound is due to the brake pads being pulled forward and bouncing back, this is due to a very small fit between the pads and the disc. Slightly lubricated the brackets on the brake pads and the sound disappeared. I changed wheel bearings twice before I found out.

Hello how is it going, did the problem go away when u follow my advise about this noise ?

I've had the same freaking noise on my new 2020 Polaris sportsman 850. . I took it back they replaced the rear drive shaft and rear diff. Said it had excessive slack. Mine only had 60 miles on it. After 3 rides the noise is back. Pops one time when I press the gas and let off! Took it back they said Polaris tech said it's normal.. I just can't except this !!

I have a brand new 2021 sportsman 570 making the same noise but louder. Coasting downhill on gravel sounds like the trans/rear diff is going to fall out, and that is with a helmet on. Dealer told me its drive line slap, and said its normal. I'm pretty pissed that a 7K dollar brand new ATV sounds like this.

@@Justin-os2zc no danger at all. No more than a bicycle as mentioned. weight is not a factor. Two wheels if it falls is a direct fall to concrete and more and likely heads hitting first which seems pretty dangerous at that same 5 mph. Rather than 4 wheels in dirt or sand at same speeds. I would say it’s a lot safer honestly. But they worked great no issues
