interesting. backfiring isn't always a terrible thing. try to take a video of it? got a gopro?

Mine pops a bit when I let off the gas but I wouldn't say it backfires.

Its just the engine braking. It uses the compression from the motor. No worries.

Yep, mine does it aswell at times, my CanAm did it too when i first got it.

Seems to be a normal thing. have you guys contacted your dealers about it just to see what they would say?

 

[Teryx2k16]

nope, ive heard before its normal when a engine was breaking in. My Outlander did it when it was new, but does not do it anymore.

Does it only backfire at the beginning while the engine is still cold?

sounds like a bit of over run as the engine breaks itself through downshifting, nothing too serious, just keep it monitored. Like others said, likely part of the break in period.

P.S dont forget to get on your Viking a little during break in, the worst thing you can do to it is baby it when its brand new. You need to set the piston rings and tighten up the cylinders, only way to do that is some hard running. Just try and keep it on the flat because the rest of the driveline does need to be treated gentle for a bit...

Is that how your suppose to break it in? I hear mixed things about soft vs hard break in.

When i first got my CanAm Outlander 800 last year, people told me t drive it hard while breaking it in, helps things seal better..
