First Polaris - 2025 Kaos 850 - brake sounds like bees.

[KTMDirtFace]

Just picked this up yesterday, my first polaris. Anyway... Half way through the ride today the brake sounded like bees or an alarm or something. I couldn't tell if it was just them bedding in or if it was some sort of alarm coming from the sled. If I locked the brake up allt he way it stopped was only if i drug it going down a hill or whatever it made this weird angry bee noise lol.


Besides that new sled worked great. ( Coming from Doo/Lynx, still have Lynx but its busted at the moment )

They always buzz like that.

Normal. Enjoy the sled!

The QD belt makes a unique sounds too, especially if you're coming off chain case sleds like doo/lynx.

Ok thanks! Too early to call, but I may be converted. I don't like how this thing starts a turn but once its in a turn ( on edge ) it just stays there and I'm not fighting it like my lynx or doo's. Kinda weird to get used to but I'll get used to it.

It overheated once today in the weirdest place ever ( off trail in **** snow up a climb, i was going really slow though )... then was fine the rest of the day.

The poo takes a little more effort to initiate a turn, but once it's on edge, it stays on edge.

You will get used to it if you commit to riding that sled.

I find it a lot easier to go from poo to doo than vice versa.

Is that the strange whirring sound? Only heard it at low speed... new sound to me lol.
