Is it idling to high? maybe it has the wrong belt on it.

 

i had to replace my 02' 500 belt to a 700 belt because of shrinkage. once i changed it, never had any more issues. however check the rpms first and make sure the ebs bushing or fiber washers aren't the problem. imo

 

thanks for all the help!

 

Most likely it will be your ebs washer on the primary clutch, need to have primary rebuilt with washer
