Hi all.  I just found this forum and am so happy to find a source of information about the CC side by sides as the information on the web can be limited.  Our 2018 has squeaks while moving slowly.  Seems to come mainly from the front wheel area, but it intermittent and is very annoying.  Any thoughts or experience someone can share?

Also, like everyone else with the roof, doors, front and rear windows and occasional the top half of the doors, it can get pretty loud inside while riding.  I read someone mentioned using a yoga mat under the seat (gonna do that this weekend).  Other modifications being done to reduce noise levels in the cab?  Thought about sound deadening material (seen that mentioned here as well and know that friend's Mule has insulation under seat and on the outside of the front panel of the seat.

Thanks!

I have the same squeak.  My guess is the brakes.  I might check it out this week.
The cab noise is pretty loud.  Since I'm no longer under warranty I think I'm going to reroute the clutch vent, which vents below the drivers seat, to the back of the vehicle.  I think a lot of the noise comes from that

Richard - would be interested in what you find on the brakes.  Could you please post once you have checked them out.   Thanks for the feedback on the cab noise as well.  I assume the whole purpose of the clutch vent it to remove heat from that area and nothing else.  Would like to see how you do this.  Another user here VERNO shared that he did the same thing and it reduced the cab noise somewhat.  Also installing a yoga mat underneath the seat.  I also thought of sound deadening material on the outside of the compartment that sits below the seat as this is very open and I have seen other SxS that have noise deadening material here such as the Kawasaki Mule.

Thanks!

Happy to report we put a yoga mat in between the seat and the top of the engine compartment just like recommended here and what a difference that made.  I could not believe it!  Thinking sound deadening material on the inside of the engine compartment (outside of the wall that is under the seat at your feet inside the cab) and heavy floor mats might help as well.  Thanks to Richard and VERNO!

@Richard Hughes - any update on the brake squeaking?  Was riding with a friend that has a Mule and his was doing it also.  He said - it comes and goes, sometimes it does it and some times it doesn't but more often than not just after cleaning.

@Terry Hering which muffler did you purchase?  If you have not tried the yoga mat underneath the seat, well worth it.  What other things have you found out?  BTW - welcome to the board!I'm still under warranty so they put Muffler number 759 - 0 5 5 8 3 on it. Price is $962.95. Not Counting all the other parts that they needed for the muffler. The template is $15.95, ignition cable which was $49.95. Then I asked him do a once-over the make sure everything's okay before the warranty goes out. And I like a oil change, now that I got it back it sounds like the wet clutch is going. And I did not try to yoga mats yet but I pick some up today. It's not that much quieter with a new muffler on.

@Terry Hering OUCH!  That sounds very expensive.  We were thinking of something aftermarket that might quite things down a bit.  We have also been looking into DYNAMAT or something similar to add in certain areas where the noise seems to be resonating from.  Also heavy floor mats should dampen the noise even more.  I have also been looking at the clutch venting notes from VERNO above.  Thinking this might help as well.  I truly appreciate the insight about your ordeal.  I know there are a few of us out there that are working these items that Cub Cadet did not do well on and sharing will help us all be more satisfied with our purchase.

      Information on 2024 Hison 550x Stryker with a No start Issue
      By KWinTX
      I just bought a new 2024 Hison 550 Stryker 2 months ago. this is the second time I have had this issue.  It only has about 20 hours on it. The last time it happened we took it back to the dealer. it was a fuse.  Since we live three-hour time driving there and back. I would like to find another solution if possible.  I have tried all the fuses that seem to have anything to do with starting.  Currently checking the battery. The battery is new. it came with the unit. It is probably 6 months old.  the UTV has all power to everything electrical. lights turn signals and radio all work.  When trying the key to start . it is 100% dead. as in it doesn't even click.  There is a low whirring like the fuel pump is turning on though. The Unit was running and driving just fine.  we shut it down for the night. The next morning my wife found it in this condition.  Thanks for any Ideas or solutions???   Otherwise, it goes back to the dealer tomorrow. Just hope I didn't buy a lemon. Great little UTV when it does run.😅  anyone else ever have this Issue..?

      2020 Tracker 800 sx front end noise
      By Karlibob
      I have a 2020 800 sx with about 16 hours on it.  From day one I have heard a clunking noise from the front end going over bumps.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Also this past weekend while out riding I heard a noise that sounded like the dump bed bounced three or four different times, again has anyone experienced anything like that.  Thanks, gary

      2018 Hisun Sector 1000 Crew stalling but starts right back up. Please help!
      By Jon Spruill
      Hey Guys, I have been chasing a stalling condition for about two weeks now. The bike will crank up and idle fine, then after about 20 seconds it will fall on its face and stall. It happens at both idle and while running at various rpms. You can turn the key off, turn it back on and it will fire right back up without trouble. I have verified spark on both cylinders with a spark tester. I have also added an inline fuel filter, and pulled the injectors to verify proper pulse on each. Things I have replaced - (relearn procedure performed after each component replaced): spark plugs, ECU, relay/fuse box, fuel pump, & throttle position sensor - all with no improvement of the condition. The only warning light I get when the condition occurs is the oil lamp. The bike only has 14 miles. I am at a loss and appreciate any help and suggestions! Thanks

      Can’t figure out what part I’m missing
      By Grant
      I recently bought an axis 500 and it’s missing a box or something the plug is L shaped I’ve looked through the wiring diagrams and still can’t figure it out. The plug is located right near the battery housing
