I have an 06' F5 Firecat, that engages @ 5000RPM. So it kinda lunges forward, spinning the track at engagement. After having the sled serviced this year, My first ride I noticed a strange sound almost like the belt slipping, or somthing rubbing at engagement. This sound is coming from the clutch side. As soon as the sled was moving it ran fine with no strange noises. I didn't want to break anything so I brought the sled back to the dealer again. They said they had to "reshim the clutch". Whatever this means i don't know. The next time I used the sled it was fine. But the 2nd ride the noise has come back. This noise is only at engagement, soon as the sled is moving it is gone and the sled is perfect. Does anyone know what the hell this sound is? Anyone else have this problem? Can I use the sled with this noise without hurting anything?, The dealer says I can. I'm kinda pissed cause i've already towed the sled 4hrs, lost a days pay from work to fix this problem. Only to have it return after only 60miles. The sled has 1800 miles on it, and a new belt. Sorry for the long read.....thanks
