its the drive pump. normal sound on the honda. the sound is from the oil being pushed through a pump, kinda like a tourqeconverter on a car.

Yes its a turbo. All hondas come stock with it usually around the 4th or 5th powerband I mean gear.

Maybe it's the jet engine changing powerbands

When I rode a Rancher I noticed the sound you were talking about.

Turbo LMAO.

WOOOOSHHHH!!! WHAT THE HELLO WAS THAT!!!?

Oh that was just the new 06 Rancher with TURBO!

WEEEE hah.

We all have dreams

I herd that when it makes that noise you need to upgrade your tail light fluid to high output and get pink powerbands, then it will be able to break the sound barrier.

That sound you hear is most likely the muffler bearings rattling when the the quad enters the 4th successive powerband. This is due to the increased resonating frequency caused by the power curve. Take it to honda and ask them to perform a routine maintenance on the muffler bearings, and explain what is happening when it enters the 4th powerband, they will take care of it right quick.
