Anybody have problems with belt getting wet on 800 xt...Mine got wet smoked outer primary clutch...Holes warn in it , never seen this before...

 

How deep a waterhole did you go through? Did the water get in the intake snorkle for the belt housing? Did you check to see if the housing was sealed. A few have been shown to warp with high heat. There is also the slight possibilty that the water can get by the seal on the back side of the housing. You say that holes were worn in it. In what? If the holes are worn in the housing, someone was resting there feet on it when they shouldn't have.

 

I seen on here some where some guys made made made a film of them playing in mud and water and they said that the outty was bad about getting belt wet.

 

Is that the same one where they were working hard to pull the Popo out of the mud?

 

I don't remember seeing that maybe different video, We all have pulled somebody out of the mud, What does popo mean!!

 

Same as poopoo. We can say it plainer for you if you like.

 

it was water just above the tires, I guess the water got in behind the housing....Dealer is going to seal and replace clutch....I hope

 

Holes were warn in clutch outer ...The part that moves in and out...

 

the intake duct for the belt cover is located in the top of the left inner fender. if the plastic moves or distorts it will suck a little water. how on earth could you wear holes in the clutch?
