Drive train noise

Post by Dcmtfam » Sun Aug 02, 2015 4:25 pm

is it typical for the mighty mite to be fairly noisy driving down the road? No particular sound, but the drive train seems excessively noisy on the asphalt. All the fluids are topped off and I don't feel any excessive heat on any of the components after a drive.

They can have a pretty good whine in the drive train, remember they are off road vehicles.

I've not seen a Mite yet that didn't whine or howl to some degree.
