your belt deflection is to tight,add a shim to the secondary clutch and it should be fine..

 

did you replace the spring in the drive clutch or just swap it to the new clutch? if you didnt repalce it then that could be your problem...the spring has lost tension....

or....

if you have submerged it in water ever and, got water in the clutch cover...your clutch could be hanging up on the inside of itself because it is corroded. this would make the atv creep in gear because it isnt opening up/returning. you or someone else will have to disassemble the clutch and rebuild it again. cleaning everything inside the clutch.

I tried the shim and i put a new spring in but still have a problem maybe i'am not putting the shim in the right place???

the shim needs to go between the secondary clutch sheaves..

 

then it is most likely NOT belt tension... take the primary clutch off and squeeze it together. if it doesnt return all the way than that is your problem.

 

I have the sportman 2000 with ebs i had it apart but can't seem to find the right place for it as for the clutch it's a brand new one and seem's to work great

have your clutch off set checked they may be misaligned. causing belt to drag on drive clutch. also, what idle speed? maybe too high?
also, ebs belt has little or no deflection.runs tight for braking.

 

Thank's i get a creep in all my gear's i put a new drive clutch and driven i thought that would help no go also a new belt i have asked a few guy's and they say that you can't shim an ebs system any help would be great if some one can tell me how to stop this problem

Can I ask a dumb question. Is the belt you put on the right size? Just a thought.
