Need Help..SP 500 belt won't disengage.bike keeps moving
 

My 2001 Sportsman 500 won't stop moving when you want to stop and come to a idle.It was creeping a bit before but now it's like the belt is fully engaged.
I only have 1200 miles on it.I haven't been driving it much until this year..What would cause this ? Do i need to take it in to the shop or could I fix it myself?.I haven't done any work on ATV's before..thanks[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Adjust your idle down.

either the idle is too high or maybe the one way ebs bushing is failing.

you need to have your drive clutch ebs shimms replaced and it would be a good idea to replace your belt also

I just brought mine into the shop for the exact same reason. 06 Sportsman 500 HO EFI. The shop thinks a module flash is going to fix it. Aparently a tsb covered it and that was the fix. I will let you know.

I will check the idle ..I think it was idling a bit high ..hope that's all it is .I am on vacation this week and was hoping to do some trails. If i need to take it to a local shop it would be Tuesday before he could look at it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
Is it easy to adjust the idle ?..Someone mentioned the throttle cable may be sticking too..will check this out today.

Thanks for all the help

I just had my 06 X2 in the shop for the Creep's. They needed to shim one of the motor mounts to get the clutches to align properly.

I checked the idle it's not the problem..I will have to take it into a shop..I had put a new battery in it a while ago and the drain hose had fell off and the battery had drained some acid from the over flow onto the belt cover almost eating a hole into it..not good..[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
