Have you checked/replaced the ramp buttons in the rear clutch,addressed any problems in the front clutch? With the cover off is the belt running center of the front clutch? Have you checked for any spider cracks in the clutch sheaths that could be causing excessive wear on the belt?Front engine mounts are the worst on separating,but check the top and rear mounts also. Center to center distance between the drive clutch and driven clutch bolts should be 10". If it's a little more, then the front motor mount can be moved outward to reduce the distance and give the belt a tad more slack. Plus don't know what belts you're using ,but stick with oem Polaris belts.
