I was talking to them about all option's got no where with the dealer and Polaris Don't know what to do.

 

HOLY LONG WINDED THREAD
Most of my riding is with a bud who has a 05 Rubicon. We have traded bikes back and forth day after day, ride after ride. He likes his Hondamatic and I like my CVT. and thats the end of the discussion for us. To each their own.
LET IT REST BOYS

 

Do you have to ride in low going slow through woods to not smoke a belt and stop and put it in high when you come to a nice straight away? This was mentioned a few times,why did no one tackle this guestion? Also Im courious about the higher rpms reguired for cvt quads,wouldnt this shorten engine life. I have riden my brotherinlaws rincon and that thing shifts just like a manual but it does it for you. Touch the throtle and it goes there is no reving there. For those who havnt tried it dont knock it till you do.

 

BELT TRANSMISSIONS SUCK ON POLARIS ATV's! (IN WATER) PERIOD! AMEN! END OF STORY! BEEN THERE DONE THAT! SEEN MANY SLIP AND FAIL[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] AND IT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT! USUALLY WHEN YOUR IN A SERIOUS MUD HOLE! THEN AGAIN I WENT THROUGH A PUDDLE REALLY FAST AND TOTALLY KILLED MY 4X4 POLARIS! THE BELT WAS SCREAMING LIKE A CAT BEING EATEN BY A DOG! NEEDLESS TO SAY THE MACHINE DIDN"T MOVE AGAIN UNTIL THE BELT DRIVE DRIED OUT!

 

The only way water can get to the belt is #1 the belt housing gasket, #2 belt housing vent hose connection and #3 just in too deep and water goes in the Vent hose intake.

To fix #1 you buy a new Gasket or even use liquid gasket.

To fix #2 you buy two new tie straps (.25 cents each) 2 min work.

#3 get a submarine or snorkel set up.

I can't believe I read through this entire long winded thread!
I have a couple comments to make on this, take it as you will...this winter a group of us, including Rincons, Grizzlies, Kings, and my lowly Hawkeye where out in the deep snow getting our ride on, while I had all I could do to keep up with the big bore machines with their superior ground clearance in snow that was in the 18"-24" range an interesting comment came from the 2 Rincon guys, They both expressed the concern at how hard their engines had to work in the heavy snow! The rest of us found this peculiar since even I with only 300cc had plenty of power for this situation and had no problem keeping the tires moving, I did get stuck several times due to deep snow and an insufficient 8" ground clearance which has since been corrected!
Now if the Honda auto tranny was to blame for this I can't say, but these two Hondas where the only bikes to show this problem.

Secondly, on this same ride, coincidence or not, one of the two Hondas lost reverse and ended his day early, towed him home and he was done...I have no idea how frequent Honda tranies fail, but I have first hand experience with this one and the estimate for repair here is between $1500-$2000! Now many of you may think that the CVT belt system is not as dependable as the Honda trans, but I do know that I can replace a LOT of $60 belts for 2 grand! Oh, and if need be, I could have replaced the belt on the trail in 30 min. and saved the rest of the day...
