recently bought a 2000 polaris scrambler 2x4 400 and it seems like it wants to hasitate when taken off the motor sounds strong when this is happaning and was wounderin if this could be the clutch or the belt in there doing this? if so how hard or easy is it to replace this items? any help would be great. and what oils and coolent is recomended for these bikes? have no manuel with the bike. thanks again any information would be appreciated.

 

it could be the belt, to inspect you need to remove the clutch cover, which just requires some plastic removal

 

just went and looked at it at a glace it looks good no cracks looks clean, not sure if streached out? how hard is it to replace?

 

very easy to replace. a good check is see if the belt is sticking up out of the secondary clutch about 1/8". if so then you have a good belt that isnt worn. if not then i would check your play. should be about 1 1/2" if you push down right in the middle.

 

What color of spring is in the front clutch?

 

its a darker color metal then the clutch with min. amount of rust on it? whats the color about?

 

Dif color springs have dif rates and engagment rpms.You MUST match the clutch to the pipe on a 2stroke Polaris.This means you will have a stall speed when taking off and the wrong spring and weight combonation will loose power and can blow your engine.
I dont recomend messing with clutching other than calling Ritter or HPD tell them what you have and what you want.Now once you have a complete understanding on how every thing works and what it effects you can use a tach and mix and match clutch parts to tune in to your style of riding.

 

just checked play again in belt and thinkin its about two inches of play in it. would that be enough to make it feel like its i guess slippin? wants it gets goin it seems to be just fine and plenty behind it, this only happens when first starting out. how big of difference can you feel with just a new belt

 

is it crackly,shiny on the sides??fraying?,answer to your other q's is this forum search category.

 

no visable crackin and cant see any signs of fraying, the sides do look a lil shinny though. just seems like alot of play in it. any tensioners or way to tighten it by chance or just replace it
