9R metallic sound at engagement

I did, no change.
I shimmed the pipe up with some washers and put and mount for a second spring up by the over structure to make sure the pipe is not making contact. Still have the damn noise. Not the brakes and pretty sure not the qd. Maybe it is the flywheel. Anyhow I lost interest in finding it and just ride the darn thing.
Hahaha I'm in the same boat, did all the above still hear it no idea!!!
Drive belt slipping off the start?
There might be something in the primary loose button , broken spring, loose hardware or primary bolt? Has the secondary been taken
Talking with Polaris they updated the pipe shroud for 24 on the 9R, wouldn't admit it but implied this is where this metallic sound was coming from.
I only have the 850 but had a few rattles/vibrations on it when I first got it. First, the pull start handle was rattling so bad and it took a while to locate the source. It sounded like it came from the exhaust side. A foam pad under the handle fixed that, mostly. Then lots of guys were complaining that the rigid v support under the tunnel would vibrate. I put a bead of Goop glue along each side of it. Finally I have an SLP can on mine and it comes with a metal washer to lift the pipe up so it would not rub on the bumper like in your photo. It did not lift high enough so I had to use some 1/2" x 1 1/2" box steel to make a spacer. I drilled a small hole through one side and bolted it to the bulkhead with a nut/bolt and fender washer and a larger hole on top to insert the original rubber pipe support. This raised the pipe but it is a bit tight where the pipe comes through the bulkhead. Not sure if you are hearing something else but check these.
