I went riding today for about 4 hours, near the end I noticed that my take off in high gear was a little slow getting started. While climbing a small hill, it started to squell and the belt began to smoke, I shifted to low and had no problem getting up. I went back to high and could still notice a slight slipage on take off, but top end was fine. I was wondering if anyone else with the Aaen clutch kit has had this problem, maybe clutch tuning??? Not really sure! Please respond!!!!!!!!!

 

If it used the same PVT as a scrambler, I'd:

Clean and and re-test.
Add a dual helix (if you don't have one) and retest)
Add more seconday preload as needed (but only as needed, as I think preload costs power) and retest. If it quites shifting up the spring weight while maintaining curve.

 

dougiedoo,

it's WAY over my head but it sure covers every angle! LOL

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] I have the same problem with my 02, I checked & changed my trans fluid (it looked like grafite oil) there's no water in the belt housing. it didn't do this when it was new. Between the lag, the leaks, and a new rattle or noise evey time I ride it's driving me nuts! It;s only has 27 hours.

 

Atv's are not snowmobiles, belts are junk! get a Honda!

 

Looks like that 13 year old kid is on here again.

 

Even with the problems I'd still throw dirt all over a Honda.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

 

hondabige has probably never even ridden a polaris....another narrowminded 13 year old judgement about something that he knows nothing about....

 

Dont most of the big bores have belts. Is it for towing capabilities? Ive only gotten my belt to slip once. I was in a deep quag in high gear with oversized tires and the clutches couldnt get the tires spinning in high. No problem whatsoever in low. Its a nasty hole. I have to crawl through it and I wear waders whenever I attempt it. And its getting deeper from me going through.

 

My Twin is a beast in low, nothing stops it,as a matter of fact I was screwing around one day and gunned in low and it jerked the front wheels off the ground (high off the ground) I almost Sh-t. I had seen pictures of the 650 Kawi doing but I figured the twin was too heavy, it's not. So don't gun them by accident going up hill. As for high range I think it's time to bring it to the dealer maybe it's a clutch problem.
