Hello Everyone, Well I'm new to this forum, my first post, traded in my 2012 Cam Am 1000 XT for the Gator trail model, took it out for the first time today, I like it alot, runs out real nice, not as much power as the Can Am but I new this going with the Gator, The Gator handles better than the Can Am, is a little bit queitier, very smoth, seems to be more nimble also, much easier to get in and out of, very impressed so far.
OK, now on to a strange thing that happened to me, it did this same thing twice, I as riding down a dirt road at approx. 30 mph and then coasted down and pulled over to the side of the road idling in gear for about 15 seconds, all of a sudden smoke started pouring out from under the machine, alot of smoke, I could smell it was a belt burning so I just gave it some gas and the way we went, no further problems until the next time it did it, same thing smoke all over the place, gave it some gas and the way we went, now it has not it since, just those 2 times, WTF, anyone else have this problem?
Sounds like the clutches not releasing at idle, I'll take it for another spin next weekend and see if this still happens and I will also let my dealer know about this.
Thanks
