Thanks so much. ill pull it apart and try that soon!

Noticed while on a ride a while back there was a click coming from steering the unit side to side, so i assumed it was tie rod ends like any other ATV ive ever owned. come to find out its not that, but slack inside the electronic power steering box. checked with dealer, and even after a request to CFMOTO warranty, its too old and not covered. the replacement part for that specific unit (power steering) is over $1k

so obviously im not looking to put that kind of money into it. i was told by dealer that a non power steering unit (just a plate on the shaft to bolt the tie rods to) would run about $120. much cheaper option and not having power steering really isnt an issue for me. the non PS unit comes from the same year model, but a 400cc ATV instead of a 500cc ATV. i was just wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue, or if they could lead me in the correct direction of this repair. any help is appreciated!!

Noticed a loud Clacking sound upon stopping or starting in either direction on my cfmoto z6 2012 model. ive looked at different manuals and parts catalogs unable to locate parts. im not too familiar with the CVT style with driveshafts etc.
any help at all would be greatly appreciated as there isnt much information about this model online.
