on the Sp 500, what ive seen so far is that the belt in the PVT tranny is more like a fan belt in a car, wut im tryin to say is that the metal wheel what the belt rides on is not ribbed like the belt, this is what i have gathered so far from the pics on webpages and in the polaris catalouge. I might be explaining this unclearly but im basicly wondering if the metal sprocket-type wheel in the tranny is ribbed like a sproket would be but not quite teeth but ridges,

Can anyone help

No, but the belt is gripped from side pressure in both the primary & secondary clutch. It's not like Harley drive belt.

One day I am going to video tape mine running with the clutch cover off and put it on the web, a video is worth 1000's of words in this case.

The belts are ribbed already. I don't think you understand how the CVT works. What is there to put ribs on?

Go to ATV Connection main page, and then to product reviews. Look for the Hot Seat review. It might exaplain a little, and has some pictures that might help.
