P1000 Gear/Trans clicking noise when shifting

[ohiohunter]

I just picked up my new Pioneer 1000-5 deluxe a couple days ago. I'm hearing a clicking noise in the rear-end as is shifts. I've never ridden in a 1000 but just wanted to ask if that is normal that everyone is getting or do I need to get it checked out? Only have about 20 miles on it. Thank you,

What we call "Shift-Clicking" -- It is a precursor to clutch failure.



Just kidding. It is your shift solenoids which will quiet as time goes on.

Oh man, you just gave me an heart attack. Don't do that to a guy that just dropped 20K.

Sorry
These machines are awesome and only get smoother and quieter as they get used.

When it shifts you can hear it change gears that is normal. You need to check all your oil sub_tran, engine, and diff.

Like @500 said just wait it'll quiet. After first service will be very notable

 

[sharp]

It's normal, aggravating at first but you get used to it. Like everyone says it does get quieter after first service. The rig has to learn you just like you have to learn it. Drive it how you normally would and don't worry too much about the " break in" process.

Haha that was just wrong to do to the new guy. Welcome to the club @ohiohunter!

One more thing the shifting clicks are not consistent some will sound louder than others

 

[ohiohunter]

Thanks for the info guys. bad on you "500". lol.

Welcome @ohiohunter ! It definitely gets better after the 100 mile service. I've put mine through all the modes and different types of terrain. As @sharp said, it takes some getting used to. You learn it and it learns you. Happy trails!

Damn....he got me too! An old thread but I was here searching for the same issue. Glad I kept reading rather than follow my impulse to throw pad across the room.

Got me too, 35 miles here. That is funny stuff.

 

[MikeyXX]

Yep, me too. Instantly happy it's still under warranty. Mine still feels like someone is kicking the fram on shifts, but dealer says it'll get smoother.

The gear whine in these things is pretty loud at speed.

Yah, love the whine.. Reminds me of my old Honda street bike.

The 1000’s do make some interesting noises but man they are awesome machines!
