I had mine for a few weeks and mine does the same thing and it makes a clank noise as well I asked the service department and he said it's normal. But I dont think so.

Same as mine i also have a 700 prairie my clutch does not make that much noise no matter how i run it, personally i think the engine break is grabbing too hard making the clutch work too hard

The gas pedal thing is just something you have to get used to, had mine for a year now and still the same thing, especially going slower over rough stuff, the pedal is just light feeling and then once you start on and off the gas you just can't stop, have to put your foot to the floor...

As for the clunking, samething, get used to it, I thought it was pretty bad at first, now I am just used to it, the Dalton clutch is supposed to get rid of the KEBC that makes the clunking, it doesn't seem to any damaged even though it is noisy!

Get the pedal extension and you can rest your foot against the center tunnel cover and it makes it a lot less jumpy.

The KEBC does make the Teryx a lot more clunky than it already is by aggravating the rear gear lash noise as well as making it harder to drive slow smoothly. Disable it and you are golden.

How To: Find/Unplug KEBC Motor and remove Fork from CVT Cover

Here is a video showing the gear lash.

In addition to what Megellan said, bolt an inverted piece of angle iron to the floor to act like a heal rest. I also added a second spring to stiffen it up. So, I've done both of these as well as a pedal extension. Each one help in it's own way, the heel rest probably the most.
