I got back from last weekend's ride and noticed the driver's rear axle boot clamp was loose...again on my teryx krx 1000, the second time I've caught it like this, and I'm not even riding that aggressively, just trail and some light rock crawling, cleaned it up and checked for grease slinging, thankfully it wasnt too bad yet, is this a weak point on the KRX or am I just unlucky cos the clamp doesn't look broken, its just not holding tension, I've read a few threads mentioning this on another forum happening after break in or after suspension work, but I haven't touched anything back there lately.
Please how can I get this right permanently, any tips, suggestions or instructions, I would greatly appreciate
 
Absolutely, that's a common issue with the KRX. I experienced the same thing after a trail run once. The original clamps just don't maintain tension very well after a few heat cycles. I cleaned everything up, reinstalled the boot, and switched to a more durable clamp from All Balls Racing. It's been working great ever since. Are you still using the stock clamps? It might be a good idea to upgrade
 
Happened to my bro too and he was barely crawling through anything rough. He swapped to heavy-duty ear clamps and haven't had it slip since.

You're not alone. Every time I get a new bike, I replace the stock clamp and upgrade it to a heavy-duty one from CVTech. It never failed me. I can show you my bikes. :P
 
That does sound frustrating, especially since youre not riding aggressively. It's definitely not unheard of, some KRX owners have had the same issue, especially after some miles or suspension flex. You might try replacing the oem clamp with a stronger aftermarket one, like a heavyduty CV boot clamp or even a hose clamp if you're in a pinch. Have you checked if the boot itself is slightly stretched or misaligned? That could also prevent the clamp from holding tension properly.
