BruteForce wrote:So I ordered yet another CVT Clutch Belt (so I could have a spare) and put the new one on today. The new and old (~150 miles on it) are the same exact Goodyear Gator Sport belts (same part number, etc).
The old one had quite a bit of give to it compared to after I installed the new one.
What's really odd is now that the new one is in place, sitting in gear, the ATV will move at 1-2mph (same in reverse). I have to put on quite a bit of brake to get to a complete stop and it takes a little "jiggling" to get it into neutral.
Is this normal with a brand new belt or is there some other issue?
Now, except for back & forth riding in my driveway (about 25' back and forth), I've not yet ridden the machine to break in the belt.
Any advice appreciated.
What did you do with the left over parts?
Sounds like you might have the wrong belt or a shim was left out.
Goodyear belt? Why? I would go stock belt.
I think the goodyear has Kevlar right? I know of Kevlar belt on Polaris cutting in to the Shives..
