Well its my first post and i apologise if im in posting in the wrong place. i just got a 1996 polaris 425 magnum 4x4 that wasnt running. well i have gotten it running and it runs great. my problem is that the guy i bought it from had bought a new drive belt for it and its an not a polaris replacement. it a Jason belt. i dont know if thats the problem but the belt doesnt seat inside the secondary clutch when i rev the motor everything looks ok the belt drops down inside but when i let off and the belt stops it sits back on top of the secondary. if i was to put the clutch cover back on it the belt would rub on it. and on top of that i seem to think that the belt is too loose but not quite sure. i have bought a manuel and have gone through it. just dont know if i should just start by buying a (dayco HP2003) belt and going from their if need be. ideas appreciated

 

Use oem # 3211077 belt and IF clutches are ok you shouldn't have any problems. Some aftermarket belts are too wide. OPT

 

what are if clutches

 

Wear items in non ebs clutches are usually the 3 ramp buttons in the rear clutch,the front clutch main wear items are the six clutch buttons,but try correct belt first,may be all that you need.

 

Welcome to the forum and ditto on OPT's post. He's the person to go to here on that stuff for sure!!! Hope you are able to get it figured out and enjoy the ride.
