I have a UForce 800. I am getting a very loud popping/snapping noise coming from somewhere around the center of the engine area between the seats. With the noise the utv does have a little jolt to it.
This appears to happen shortly after driving forwards after it has been sitting. I would say it happens within about withing the first 100 yards. Once the noise happens, it does not seem to happen again until after I have parked it and driven again.

I thought it might have been the U Joints or the shaft, but after I looked them over there appears to be nothing noticeably wrong with them.

I had some thoughts. Maybe it could be that it is trying to go into park.
Maybe the four wheel drive it trying to kick in or out. However, that is too loud of a noise for that.
This is a load noise and is making me very nervous, any advice or help would be appreciated.

I found the part number for the oil filter at NAPA but can not find a replacement O-ring for the oil filter.
I know the CFMOTO part number for the O-ring is 0800-014003. I know it is also 63×2.5. I am assuming that is the size and width, am I correct in assuming this?
Can I use ant O-ring that is 63×2.5?

I am wondering if anyone else has found a fix or a work around for the heat issue on the passenger's side.
The heat coming off the center console area on the passenger's side is extremely bad for the person sitting there.
It is hot on the driver's side also but a lot worse on the passenger's side.
Has anyone found a cure for this of something that will help?
