Could be the belt was loose. By the looks of the belt it was slipping.

 

My wife's 16 zr 8000 has a noise she describes as glass on metal sound. It has electric start, do both your sleds? I looked around yesterday on the left side and everything appears to be ok.

My wife's sled only has 40 miles on it, so I'm not sure it's the belt?

 

Yes both have electric start. I do agree it sounds something like that. Taking them to the dealers as they are still under warranty see what they have to say.

 

So what I have found is that the belt was loose and when slowing down it wasn't coming back up the secondary fast enough and it looks like the belt is rubbing on the top of the brake caliber. Not sure yet but it looks like it and makes sense.

 

So is the dealer adjusting something to address this is? Is this what they told you? what would they be adjusting?

 

Called the dealer today, and just so happens he had one in the shop making the same noise. I told them my theory and sure as **** that sled had rubbing marks on brake shield. He called me this afternoon after a test ride and the noise was gone. Gotta keep those belts in spec.

 

make sure the secondary bolt is tight........seriously because there was a run of cat's where the secondary bolt would actually become loose then back it's self out.

Had a guy on a trip with us who had a 16 and he had a noise similar to what you are describing, low and behold the secondary bolt had actually come loose and backed out.

We replaced it on the trail with a much nicer/harder bolt from a local automotive store, and 6,000 miles later, that bolt from the auto store is still nice and snug.

 

Thanks for the info I will check that too.

 

Happy to hear you got it handled. My '15 squealed when coming to a stop from the brake pads. I used CRC brake Quiet and it worked like a charm, I even did the wifes '16 LXR and no noise either ..
