Ok guys I elevated the idle today. It doesn't stall once in high or low but still tends to stall in reverse. And also when I let go of the break the atv moves forward if in H or L and backwards in R.

It's also really hard to get it in and out of gear. I have to fight with it. I followed the long rod from the shifter and I noticed that the little flat price if steel that the bolt is pinned to is a little bent downwards. Can that be the issue for hard shifting?

If it's still creeping with you when you let off the brake in gear,then it's still probably needing the clutches looked at,cleaned up if necessary and have the rear clutch shimmed to align with the front clutch so the belt can ride center of the one way bearing. Also the one way bearing must turn freely and no excess side to side slack caused by a worn fiber or metal washer. If you can slide more than a .020 feeler gauge between the one way and the inner clutch sheath this can cause the belt to run off center of the one way and touch the side of the clutch sleeve. When it does that,the rear clutch will engage making it hard to shift. If it shifts ok with the engine off,the clutch area is what I'd be checking out. Plus an after market belt that's too tight or too wide can cause problems. Most guys run oem Polaris belts.
