I keep reading about backshifting..... please explain.

 

as you probably knew when the 700 is increasing in speed one of the belt sheeves is opening and one closing, this continues untill top speed where the two sheaves are to their set position which could be the opening sheeve is fully open and the closing sheeve is fully closed.backshifting is when you decrease in speed and to a position where the sheaves leave the high speed position to a power position, enough power to be able to overcome the weight and friction of the machine to hurdle it forward, this is more noticable on the snowmobiles setups. varing factors are belts, sheaves,springs , weights , ramp layout, and powerbands.
