RXV making clicking noise in rear wheel
my 2012 RXV is making a clicking noise when i start to drive off slow or when driving slow. Would this be the case of a bad hub or a rear wheel bearing going bad? Hubs are tight as i just recently checked them. i bought it used as it came from a country club. i also just put new bushings in the front and back. noice was present before and after this work. Any suggestions or thoughts as to what could be causing this?

Re: RXV making clicking noise in rear wheel
Have you looked for a rock in the tire?
I would also put the cart on jack stands and run it in the air to see if you still hear the noise. |

Re: RXV making clicking noise in rear wheel
I read on here to not run a RXV in the air. It will damage the AC motor.

Re: RXV making clicking noise in rear wheel
Dont run it full throttle for any length of time. Just rotate the rim to see if it's the tire or a bearing.

Re: RXV making clicking noise in rear wheel
The rxv motor will survive just fine at full rpms on the jackstands.( Not so for older "series" carts). In my experience, a rxv motor has a 100% perfect record at way more rpms than anyone has ever pushed them to with stock controllers. I know it can do 9600 with zero problems. Let's dispell that rumor now....
The axle will sound loose (with no load on it), and you shouldn't do it "just for fun", but the motor has very good rpm control, and won't "blow up". Myth Busted! The Curtis controller "remembers everything", and I have seen files with over 10k for max speed (Curtis "remembers" that with an "!" At the end) |

Re: RXV making clicking noise in rear wheel
there's no rock or anything like that causing the sound. sounds like the clicking is coming from the hub area. axle isn't slipping or anything like that. could this be coming from a bad rear bearing?

Re: RXV making clicking noise in rear wheel
almost sounds more like a slight grind versus clicking noise

Re: RXV making clicking noise in rear wheel
Wheel bearings are pretty easy to change. And a common noise maker, might as well just do em.
