New to me 2015 Outlander, 2 unexpected noises

Ok, new to the ATV world and just bought a 450 Outlander L a month or so ago. I have 2 questions that hopefully someone that has experienced the issues can answer.

1. On startup, cold or warm, for a couple of seconds the motor is much louder than normal idle. Bought this at a dealer and they said it's normal. Doesn't sound normal to me.

2. On normal riding i'm a pretty loud "clack" (is the best way I can describe it). I cannot force this sound with accel/decel, hitting a bump, steering in either direction, 2WD vs 4WD, nor anything else i've tried. It just happens randomly to me and it's loud enough someone riding behind me can hear it. I've visually inspected shocks, steering components, u joints etc but nothing obvious. It could be happening after bumps as one of the shock is rebounding from compression but not sure.

I can try to provide video with sound for these two things if it's not obvious to the experienced owners here.

thanks for listening

Hello, New Owner in NH

Just bought my first ATV, a 2015 Outlander L 450. Have been out for a few rides in the woods of New Hampshire and overall, great handling machine with tons of power for the displacement. Already have a bunch of questions so I'm off to the forums.

Float needle seat question

I have a loading up situation and I have bought two different types of rebuild kits and neither of them have fixed my issue, I even made sure that the float is adjusted right. The one consistent thing about the rebuild kits is the needle seat has half the amount of holes drilled in it then the factory one, I put the new seat in and it wouldn’t rev up it would get to maybe half throttle. I put the original seat in that has twice the amount of holes and it runs like it should, except for after a few days of sitting it won’t start and then detonates in the exhaust. What are those holes in the needle seat for. I’m getting really frustrated with this machine and I’m about to burn it. When it detonates in the pipe it’s like a .45 going off, it even makes my ears deaf for a second and I don’t want to be causing anymore damage to the already rebuild cylinder




Looking to buy 2003 Magnum 330 4×4

I have an opportunity to buy a 2003 330 magnum, with a 60" snow plow and winch. I was wondering if there is anything I should look for while I am checking this quad out and test driving it. Any common wear points or items. Also does anyone know what the value of this quad would be. I don't have a picture to show but it is grey and from what I can tell in very good shape for its year. Any help is appreciated.
