Sounds like bad gas or possibly a cracked plug/frayed plug wire.

but it only does it when its going down a hill and foot off the gas.then when you get on straight land it doent do it.

IDK.......does that thing have a rev limiter or anything like that? I think I would let the dealer work that out if it is still under warranty.

Woody don't that thing have a warranty?????? It's electrical no doubt. I'd take it back to the dealer and dump it on his porch............

Possibly there is something that is clogging the fuel filter or pump only when going downhill?? How much mud have you had it in?

I agree with pate. sounds electrical.
its got a miss fire some where...

no mud but the dealer says carb is lean and bring it in to set the adjustment.

I know you were looking for a new airfilter.
did the old one come a part. if so maybe it suxed
some crap in the carb.

no the stock one is still like new, i just was looking for spare to have with me when we rideing so i can just pop it in when the first one is dirty and clean it when i get home.

It kinda sounds like your hitting the rev limiter, if it has one

i cant hit the rev limiter if i am not giving it gas and just rolling down the hill can i ?

It sounds like a plug wire to me too. Crank it up in the dark and see if you have some fire jumping.

take it to the dealer, it could be a lot of things

It's a Poo-Poo. I think the muffler-bearings are mis-aliglined.

Rev Limiter. And yes it is possible to have a rev limiter for going down hills -- especially if it's a speed limiter. Is this the "Parent-Adjustable Speed Limiter" acting up? I know the Rzr 170 has one.

just back from riding all day this moring (3 00 am) and did the same hill and it didnt make the noise all day.
