Belt Removal
IMPORTANT: Inspect the entire clutch outlet duct
(including the outlet duct screen) when replacing a
drive belt. Remove any debris found in the outlet duct
or outlet duct screen.
1. Remove the (8) screws that retain the outer clutch
cover.
2. Maneuver the outer clutch cover outward as shown
below to access the drive belt.
NOTE: Removal of left rear wheel or left rear shock
is NOT necessary for belt replacement.
3. Mark the drive belt direction of rotation so that it can
be installed in the same direction.
4. Insert clutch spreader tool (2877408 or 2878925) into
the driven clutch as shown (tool included with
vehicle’s tool kit).
NOTE: Make sure the tool is square with the
moveable sheave surface of the driven clutch.
5. Rotate tool towards the clutch to open the sheaves.
6. Walk the belt out of the driven clutch and drive clutch.
Remove the belt from the vehicle.
Belt Inspection
1. Inspect belt for hour glassing (extreme circular wear
in at least one spot and on both sides of the belt).
Hour glassing occurs when the drive train does not
move and the drive clutch engages the belt.
2. Inspect belt for loose cords, missing cogs, cracks,
abrasions, thin spots, or excessive wear. Compare
belt measurements with a new drive belt. Replace if
necessary.
3. Belts with thin spots, burn marks, etc., should be
replaced to eliminate noise, vibration, or erratic PVT
operation. See the Troubleshooting Chart at the end
of this chapter for possible causes.
