The green trail with a hill climb || Gentle Ben - Mountain Ridge

[@FullsendOffroad]

oh, the clicking, happens on my KingQuad too. it's the engine brakes locking up the wheels, trying to slow down. In 2wd engine braking is worse because it can only brake the rear driveshaft, while in 4wd I notice much less clicking due to easier slowing down with the front driveshaft moving too.

The clicking is the slack in the drive train. I have pretty much heard it on most shaft driven ATVs. My Kawi Teryx 4 sounded like it's going to explode, but its normal. Even my KRX does it.

Thank you! This was something that really concerned me but knowing this helps!

Im a staff member at Mt Ridge and absolutely love your videos!! I would just like to point out to viewers of this vid that riding on the gravel/windmill roads and especially the windmill pads themselves is a big no no. Hope to see you at the Ridge sometime!

Oops😅

Well done video as usual. Grice and I look forward to going back in the Spring. Ya know to see what we missed after our accident. 🤣🤣🤣

[@benjirides218]

Thanks Bill! I can't wait to go back, there's still a few trails I haven't hit yet

[@michaellivingston6707]

Where is this trail system? What state? And name of trail system so I can maybe plan a trip .

[@benw8982]

This is Mountain Ridge ATV Park in PA. This particular trail is called Gentle Ben. But there are tons of trails out here. The park is 3000 acres with over 150 miles of trails. I've ridden here on 4 separate occasions and still haven't hit all the trails.

[@reddfoxx2861]

Is there a days worth of riding here. Excellent video.

[@benjirides218]

This trail is maybe 30-50min long, but the park itself is huge. Over 150 miles of trails across 3000 acres. I still haven’t seen all the trails yet

That clicking is normal. I believe it is the rear sway bar. This happens because your rear wheels are trying to stop but they are gaining and losing traction over uneven terrain. If it were completely flat, it wouldn't make any noise. You can recreate this by slamming on your rear break, sliding your tires over uneven terrain. Click click click as your rear tires bounce around.

Interesting, I'll have to try this out, I'm having a difficult time picturing this but if I can test it by hitting the rear brakes I will. Thanks for sharing!

I don't believe the clicking is the belt or CVT , sounds like it's coming from the rear, something fighting for traction, sway bar slapping? Nice ride.
