858 Vibration

[arcticridr]

Mine hasn't started making rotor noise as of yet all the older stuff with the floating rotors made a little bit of noise some louder than others had two identical king cats one made noise other didn't ? Havent looked to see if this rotor floats on the 858 thinking it does that's why it's rattling ?

I have 1 that rattles and 2 that don’t.

What's the deal with the brake? It doesn't cause a vibration but a decent amount of noise from the rotor (?) that I can get to stop when applying brake. Started two rides ago, sled has 200 miles.

yes, the brake rotor floats. some guys on HCS reported success in quieting the rattle by installing an o-ring along side of it.

Not seeing any real wear on the other nubs or even that one. Relaxed track position perhaps?

Tracks sitting flat on the floor and suspension is fully extended, I pulled up on the bumper to be sure. I thought maybe the track had stretched and got loose, but it still feels pretty tight. I didn’t see much wear on the shock either. This was just something I noticed. My sled does have a bit of a low speed vibration, but nothing I would say is abnormal.

Likely pulls up with rotational tension was my thought.
Otherwise more wear should be visible.

I could see if that track gets loose it could do the wave effect at lower speeds and could move down and rub the shock will check mine and see what the distance is between the 858 and my hardcore 165 next to each other in the trailer will snap a pic or two
