I am not comfortable with the amount of vibration and noise expecialy when in four wheel drive. I can feel vibration through the steering wheel. I have a 650 outlander that is very smooth and quite. I wondered if i had a can am or john deer. Anyone else have this experience? Do i just deal with it? or should i take it back to the dealer? I will check the oil levels and make sure they are topped off. The feel and noise make me feel like they are dry.??? any one out there have similar experience?

Since than I have driven the machine more and don't even notice it now. Is it normal, probably?🤨

But my first few rides around the property I did notice a bit of difference from my Outlander.... But nothing OMG!! I own a 19 Defender XT HD10 full cab now. After 1000 miles on stock wheels and tires I upgraded to 32" DOT Warriors.... I also added 2" forward A arms (which to a point were NOT needed with some slight mods to my extended flares) that have allowed my flares to go back to original position. (But they need some MORE EXTENSION... 😉 ) But most of all they have given me a MUCH SMOOTHER RIDE in total!! Just a couple more mods and I think it's time for a new project..... HORSEPOWER??? Saw a turbo kit that will add over 50% HP to the HD 10..... GET YOU SUM A DAT!!!
