Can someone please tell me what the symptoms of a bad cvt belt are. please

 

slipping when in an hard accell, noisey, you can take belt cover off an look at the overall condition,,,Clutch may just need reshimming tho..How many miles is on belt?

 

high rpm while in gear with no movement, maybe slight rubber smell. Pull the cover and inspect the belt- it'll take all of 1hr.

 

That,s one sure sign. LOL

 

Ok im sure its slipping, will it cause atv to stall at certain mph im gonna get a new belt but what about springs atv has bluemillion miles on it thanks for the replies

 

No. A slipping belt will not cause an engine to stall- hence the "slipping belt"
If the belt was gripping the clutch hard enough to stall the engine, then the belt wouldn't be slipping- but you would have other clutching issues because a cvt clutch in proper mechanical order can't stall the engine-

You should read up on how cvt's work-

 

ok thanks for the reply I know the belt is slipping. stall was the wrong word. this is 1999 prairie 400 when accelerating it goes to 22-24 mph and starts to act like its flooded if i return to about half or maybe even three quarter throttle the engine will act normally but it will not accelerate and i m pretty confident its not the carb I saw a thread from several years ago about this very same issue but the solution wasnt posted or at least i cant find it. any help is always appreciated

 

If belt light is on the belt being loose could have flipped the belt switch under cover an maybe in a limp mode..Just look at switch when you remove cover an see if switch in flipped in the off posotion..if is reset...good luck

 

thanks I'll look at belt and let you know

 

ok took the belt cover off lots of wear mostly wear the ramp weights and moveable sheave mate gonna order some parts Belt looks good to me but I'll get one anyway
