    Polaris hawkeye drive belt rattle.

    did a quick search of some of the ATV forums. it appears it was a common issue back 15 years ago. this one states that it was "adjusted" and the noise went away. https://www.michigan-sportsman.com/threads/polaris-hawkeye-engine-noise.182694/ couldnt find anything on the adjustment.
