CVT Drive Belt Replacement for Select Sportsman ATV & RANGER Models
WHY REPLACE YOUR BELT?
An old or damaged belt may damage other components in the clutch box, and a worn belt will cause jerky drive-away, false misfire and accelerated wear of clutch bushings.
When to Replace Your Belt
If you find cracks, loose cords, or missing cogs, if drive-away and engagement has gotten “jerky”, or any “hour-glassing” where a section has worn narrower, it’s time for a new belt.
How to break in your belt
Inspect and clean debris from the clutch covers, ducting and engine compartment. Remove any rubber residue from sheaves by scuffing with a pad. Clean sheaves with evaporating degreasing solvent like rubbing alcohol, or brake cleaner. Finish by driving in low gear and avoid high RPMs for first 5 miles (8 km) MINIMUM of operation.
