98 Polaris xplorer 400 belt deflection problem
Hello,
I have a 98 xplorer 400 that has a loose belt. I removed all but one shim in the driven clutch but I still can pinch the belt together between the two clutches until they touch. It is a brand new polaris belt. The belt is a bit longer by an inch than my book says it should be, but I got it from a polaris dealer. Is that a common problem with belts not being the exact length? Also, should the belt rest all the way down on the drive clutch when its not running? Any ideas?

First off is it a # 3211077 belt? If so and you have removed two shims from inside the driven clutch,I'd check the engine motor mounts,plus CENTER to CENTER on the drive clutch bolt and driven clutch bolt should be 10 inches! The belt should rest all the way down on the drive clutch and towards the top on the driven clutch,belt deflection measured from the top middle should be less than 1 1/2 inches! Hope this gives you a start. OPT
